2. The Baggage Is Gone

Resident Evil 7 may be set in the same fictional universe as all of its predecessors, but it's clear as day that Capcom has decided to dispense with the baggage that comes with the name. While exact story details remain scarce, it is known that neither Leon, Chris, Claire or any of the main crew will be present in the starring role, and with Wesker now six feet under, the series' narrative finally has room to breathe.

No doubt the Umbrella Corporation (or what's left of it) will make an appearance as part of the wider picture, but the main focus here is on the Baker Mansion and its inhabitants.

No longer does Capcom need to feel pressured into shoehorning all of those familiar faces onto one disc just to placate every fan base.
