Then why even make it a numbered entry into the series? Oh wait, because it would not sell as well it it was marketed as a side story, so once again a game dev trades money for quality ;D

Its a sequel to 6. The game has a few newspaper clippings you can find referencing the racoon city outbreak, but mentions that those events happened years before. I don't want to spoil the story, otherwise i'd be able to give more proof.

The timeline in RE7 was 2017, which is after RE6 which in 2012-2013.
4 years missing timeline.

[Lanzagranadas]

RE6 events take place between December 2012 (Edonia civil war) and June/July 2013 (Tall Oaks and Lanshiang incidents)

RE7 events take place between October 2014 (Wrecked ship flashback and Daughters) and July 2017 (Main story + Not a Hero). End of Zoe is set on August since it says "weeks" after the main story.

The game itself will tell you the dates if you pay attention to the files and VHS tapes.

There's also a tiny reference to RE: Revelations. There's a book written by Clive O'Brian in the Bakers' living room.

No, it's not.

Capcom stated before the game's release that RE7 is a direct sequel to the events of RE6. Picking up roughly two years after the events of 6.

References to previous games are sparse, and mostly incidental, but as others have said it is most certainly not a continuity reboot and squarely takes place after the events of all previous Resident Evil's. The recent free DLC makes it very clear it's not a reboot

(As far as appearance and voice are concerned, Chris has been changed quite dramatically, but that's happened to every recurring character to some extent)
