Resident Evil Requiem Has Multiple Endings – But It's Pretty Clear Which One Is Canon

Hey, Daily Quest readers.

If you've been online lately, you've probably stumbled across some Resident Evil Requiem spoilers — or at least caught a few basic details. One major leak, courtesy of early copies (which Capcom suggests may have been obtained illegally), revealed that the game has multiple endings.

After playing it ourselves, we can confidently say: only one of them is canon.

We won't spoil the actual plot details since the game just launched, but if you want to go in completely blind, now's your chance to click away. Otherwise, let's break down how these endings work.

How To Get Each Ending

Good news: nothing you do earlier in the game affects the ending. No hidden collectibles, no obscure NPC conversations, no Silent Hill 2-style mind games where reading too many files dooms you.

Instead, the choice happens right before the final boss. You're prompted at a terminal with a clear-cut decision: release or destroy Elpis.

That's it. A or B. Simple. 

The "Destroy" Ending (The Bad One)

Choosing to destroy Elpis is very clearly the bad ending. Without spoiling why, here's what happens:

• No final boss fight
• A brief cutscene plays before the game abruptly ends
• The scoring screen asks if you want to go back and change your mind
• No achievement for this ending

Yeah, the game practically begs you to reconsider. It's not subtle. 

The "Release" Ending (The Canon One)

Choosing to release Elpis is obviously the intended path. Here's what you get:

• A full final boss fight
• A longer, more satisfying cutscene
• A post-credits scene hinting at future games and DLC
• An achievement: "Hope and Requiem"

This is the "good" ending — the one that sets up whatever Capcom has planned next for the series.

Final Thoughts

Don't stress about your choices throughout the game. Requiem keeps things simple: just pick the right option at the end, and you'll see the full finale. That said, it's worth trying the destroy ending first just to witness both outcomes.
