It is clear, Alyssa is in the trailer.

And?

So what the director said in the Biohazard France interview lines up with that.

And confirms much more. His words weren't "the story involves a character from Raccoon City and the Outbreak games." Hope that helps.

Hopefully, they’ll be connecting those games of the past with the games of the recent past as well. They’ve played coy by giving the Mold storyline only peripheral and tenuous connections to the overarching Umbrella storyline, and while RE4 was able to justify itself with that due to the involvement of 3 major characters of the past, this technically being the third game of the new era of the series, it should be linking the newly spun threads together, especially with whole sense of Going Back being the prevalent theme.

I think the continuation of the Village story may happen in RE10. Director Nakanishi went from developing RE7 to RE9 and was not involved in Village. So the team that developed Village is presumably working on RE10 now. It's a staggered development cycle where they work on multiple games at once. I'm speculating that the criticism Nakanishi received for RE7 not relating to the story and characters of the past games very much, is why he decided to go back to Raccoon City and Umbrella and finish that story allowing the series to move on. RE10 developed by the other team could continue the story from Village.

This is where we disagree, I know how these promotional interviews work, it’s just about understanding language; they speak in broad strokes. Alyssa is confirmed, so he’s telling the truth when he says "it features characters from Raccoon City, from Outbreak".

I see your side of the argument, it’s how I can say that you may be right, that there are distinctions. But i’m saying there really might not be that much to it. You have to bear in mind this man knows exactly where he is, what he can/can’t confirm or allude to and knows not to be too specific or revealing (it’s just language and verbal comprehension really).

It sounds like a massive reach to assume the guy is speaking in "broad strokes" and would therefore misrepresent the game despite being aware of what he's allowed to say or tease. It's not some cryptic statement or misdirection. The guy was just answering a question live and went beyond the limit of the question to the point that his own translator left it out entirely.

This is a guy who constantly brings up Leon unprompted while also shutting down speculation that he knows they can't deliver on and has even expressed excitement in wanting to talk about stuff they can't reveal yet. I would believe a passionate slip of the tongue before ever assuming the guy was just carelessly speaking about his game for absolutely no reason at all when the question could have been answered in a much more concise manner.
