Sherry's letter to Claire mentions a person named "Ronny" who would be excited to see Claire. This, however, is a mistranslation as the name in the original Japanese version is "Rani-chan". This is most likely referring to Rani Chawla, from the CG movie Resident Evil Degeneration, who already has ties to Claire.

Leon's campaign in Resident Evil 6 begins at Ivy University located in Tall Oaks. A university by the same name is also featured in an earlier Capcom game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations where its location was never stated. Both being games developed by the same company, this is unlikely to be a coincidence.
