Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield return in Resident Evil 7
Except for one ambiguous moment right at the end there’s almost no connection between Resident Evil 7 and the other games in terms of story or characters.
And yet Resident Evil 7 does take place in the same universe and, as the name suggests, is a direct sequel to the earlier games.
But you might not need to wait until Resident Evil 8 to see exactly how they’re connected, as new CGI animated movie Residnet Evil: Vendetta is a prequel starring series mainstays Chris Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, and Rebecca Chambers.
Vendetta is itself a sequel to Degeneration (which we’ve seen and is mildly enjoyably fan service) and Damnation (which we haven’t seen, but we imagine is more of the same).
Although we’re not sure they’re ever referenced by the games, the animated movies are part of the same canon – unlike the live action films.
Vendetta will be out this May in Japan, and apparently in cinemas in the US this summer. Although we imagine it’ll be direct to video and download in Europe.
