We know Resident Evil Village is a sequel to RE7, but when does it take place? We narrow down RE8’s timeline to the exact day in this guide.
The Resident Evil timeline is a bit convoluted, having many entries grouped into a short amount of time, followed by big swathes of inactivity. So, figuring out when Resident Evil Village takes place is tough. Even though it’s a sequel to RE7, players aren’t given a ton of context as to how long after its predesessor the events of RE8 occur. Resident Evil Village takes place in February 2021. Since the events of Resident Evil 7 (and its DLC) occur in July-August 2017, there are three years and eight months between RE7 and RE8.
