Resident Evil 8 was unveiled at the PS5 event with the official title, Resident Evil Village. The game will seemingly be a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, made apparent by the return of its protagonist, Ethan Winters, as well as the first-person perspective. However, there are some new additions and changes to the scenery this time, such as the location being a remote snowy village in the mountains with a Gothic castle looming overhead. To make the connections between both games a bit clearer, one eagle-eyed fan spotted a strong connection to Resident Evil Village in one section of Resident Evil 7.

Twitter user Joshua Craig came across a pretty neat little Easter egg in Resident Evil 7 that connects the game to the upcoming Resident Evil Village. During Resident Evil 7's "Happy Birthday" segment, you can find a strange sketch of a hooded old woman on the wall where the gas leak is. It's no coincidence that this happens to resemble the old woman seen in the Resident Evil Village reveal trailer. In fact, Aesthetic Gamer (who previously leaked Resident Evil 8), also corroborated the link between both titles. If rumours are to be believed, then Resident Evil Village began development as early as 2016 as a new Revelations title before being changed to a mainline sequel, so Capcom slipping in this Easter egg three years ago isn't uncanny.

Im replaying Resident Evil Biohazard and I found this drawing during the "Happy Birthday" puzzle. She's located right where the gas leak is.. The drawing looks oddly similar to the elderly woman from the #ResidentEvil Village trailer. Any idea if they're related? pic.twitter.com/pLluC24mz0
