Are RE 7 and RE8 connected?

Yes, Resident Evil 7 (RE7) and Resident Evil Village (RE8) are directly connected to each other as a sequel and also tie into the broader Resident Evil universe, continuing themes of bioweapons, Umbrella's legacy, and featuring series staple Chris Redfield, with RE8 expanding on the fungal origins (The Mold) introduced in RE7. While RE7 acts as a "soft reboot" with a new protagonist (Ethan Winters) and isolated story, RE8 directly follows RE7's events and further links the bio-terror to older lore via the shadowy organization "The Connections" and Mother Miranda's ancient mold.

Why is Alice not in Resident Evil games?

Alice isn't in the Resident Evil games because she's an original character created for the movies, not the games, serving as a separate universe's protagonist (Milla Jovovich) while the films used game elements but told their own story, with Capcom preferring to keep the canons distinct due to her overpowered nature and ownership complexities. Director Paul W.S. Anderson wanted an original story, and Capcom wasn't interested in adding a movie-exclusive, super-powered character to their established game lore.

Ethan's face is never shown in Resident Evil 7 and Village primarily because he's a first-person "self-insert" protagonist, meant for player identification, but his face is deliberately obscured in cutscenes to maintain immersion and the "everyman" feel, even though a fully developed face model exists within the game files and can be seen through glitches or mods. Capcom continued this artistic choice for narrative effect, making him a mysterious, relatable figure rather than an established hero.
