Chris departure could be done well if they manage to center the whole game around him despite him not being the central protagonist... Also jill and Claire could make appearances trought the game and the third act ot the game could be all around Chris as a playable character, maybe the final act would be Chris jill and claire tracking down alex wesker and Chris in the end sacrifice himself to kill her...
Something similar was already done in devil may cry 5 were vergil is the core of the game despite him not being a playable character at all, but only V his human side was playable for some part of the game, this was actually done well and vergil looks like the true protagonist of the game
The fact that the rumor said that the “successor” of Chris is in the game and is a character we haven’t seen before, has me doubting this speculation.
