Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the producer of RE6 has commented on recent fan questions about the inclusion of Claire & Jill in RE6. While he does not confirm them in any way, he does mention that he knows there's a lot of love for the chars and to just wait and see as there are many more characters yet to be revealed for Resident Evil 6. Could Claire & Jill be in the game? We don't know for sure, but, we can only hope to see more familiar faces as the release draws closer.

My prediction: Jill a possibility, Claire likely not but perhaps as a cameo of some sort.

In all likelihood, both as Mercs DLC.

Please, no more Jill. Please.

Jill will be DLC, watch. :P

Claire yes
Jill no

Reasoning?
Claire has been in two games(discluding spin-offs)
Jill has been in 4.

If I were to literally try and dissect Hirabayashi's comment, I would say that he is denying Jill and Claire to be part of the main storyline, mainly because I don't feel that they would create an overload with Chris, Sherry, and Leon- when it looks like they are trying to shift their focus on "Wesker Jr." and Ada/Clone- it's just too much. Even though the Jill and Claire fan base is small, it's loud- so I am predicting cameo or DLC/Mercenaries. It would be a normal to see Chris without Claire, but it's a huge deviation from the norm if we don't get to see Jill. But considering (and I assume) that Hirabiyashi isn't a native English speaker- I wouldn't want to completely take word for word what he's saying. It's just the overall tone I get from him quickly mentioning that what we are getting is better than throwing in more characters, possibly for no reason. Since I'm a Jill fan, obviously- I am thinking she'll have a Hunnigan role. Maybe she got that desk job afterall? ...

I honestly took that more as "We understand you guys like Jill and Claire, but there are other awesome characters in the game instead!" more than "Jill and Claire are in RE6".

Kinda disappointing honestly, while I don't care much for Jill, I'd love to see Claire in the game.

^ I agree. That was a very disappointing statement. He basically said, "yeah we know, but focus on the other awesome characters for now". This is all we're getting:

Honestly, I'd only like to see claire in this game as far as more "main" characters go. Of course there will be several new supporting and non-supporting characters in the game. But as far as Resident Evil goes it's never been known for it's story, or character development.

Trying to balance 4 superstars in one game is going to be hard enough. (Chris, Leon, Ada, Jake). Adding another fan favorite character is not going to help. It's just going to end up with people complaining about how their favorite character didn't get enough "screen" time. (or playable time)

Leave it the way it is. I only would support Claire coming in because of the obvious and multiple tie-ins with Resident Evil 2.

I love Jill, but in the best interest of all the game's characters, and this game's overall plot; No more superstars please.

I can't care less about Jill but it's time to have Claire again, and not the "pussy" Claire from Degeneration.
