Just days after its release, Resident Evil Retribution is facing a spoiler crisis that Capcom is trying to contain. The publisher has acknowledged a widespread leak of gameplay videos and has promised strict sanctions against those responsible. These videos, some of which reveal major plot elements and even the game’s ending, have spread online. Capcom stated on social media that the leaked videos originated from illegally obtained copies of the game. The company emphasized that distributing images before release constitutes copyright infringement and harms players who want to experience the game unspoiled. Capcom will focus on content removal, warnings, and potential legal action. Such leaks are not uncommon in the gaming industry, but the scale of this incident highlights the increasing difficulty of protecting game releases in the age of video platforms and viral algorithms. Spoilers, including details about the ending, are circulating. [SPOILERS FOLLOW] Detailed plot summaries, villain reveals, significant deaths, and ending details are now readily available online. A Reddit thread reveals plot twists with links to images and video clips. YouTube and social media platforms are hosting numerous spoiler-filled sequences, often with explicit thumbnails and titles.

Resident Evil 9 features two different endings, a “good” ending and a “bad” one. In the good ending, Elpis is freed, Grace and Leon survive, and Leon appears younger. Victor Gideon intervenes to prevent Zeno from killing Leon. In the bad ending, Gideon does not appear, Zeno kills Leon, and both characters die when the platform collapses. The bad ending leaves the possibility for Leon’s return in future installments. Resident Evil: Extinction contains spoilers, revealed on the ResetEra forums by Dusk Golem. Alyssa Ashcroft dies, murdered by the villain Victor Gideon. Zeno, another antagonist in Resident Evil: Extinction, is revealed to be a clone of Wesker. Spencer returns, and Grace turns out to be his daughter; Alyssa essentially acted as a mother figure for Grace after Spencer’s death. Spencer was secretly manipulating events, and the release of the virus cure was part of his plan. The game features two unlockable outfits and a dozen unlockable weapons. [END SPOILERS] Capcom is urging internet users not to watch or share these videos to protect the experience for other players.
