[Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the ending of Resident Evil: Requiem. Read at your own risk.] Resident Evil: Requiem presents players with a crucial choice that dramatically alters the story, leading to two distinct outcomes, both set within the Ark installation beneath the ruins of Raccoon City. As the campaign unfolds, players discover that Elpis is not a virus but a potent antiviral agent created by Oswell Spencer. The Umbrella Corporation’s leader falsely presented it as a mind-control weapon to attract interest from rival organizations. In reality, Elpis was Spencer’s final creation, intended to atone for his past actions by eradicating infections caused by bioweapons like the T-virus, Raccoon City Syndrome, and other mutations. After completing the game, players can restart from the last automatic save point (just before Grace finds Leon) to experience the other ending without replaying the entire campaign.

Breaking from franchise tradition, Resident Evil: Requiem features two endings. The game introduces Grace Ashcroft as a new character, and her decision regarding Elpis determines the ending players receive. Leon S. Kennedy is in Raccoon City investigating the Raccoon City Syndrome, and Grace’s acquisition of Elpis leads to her capture by Dr. Victor Gideon. Zeno, a villain resembling Albert Wesker, seeks to exploit Elpis for nefarious purposes. The Connections, a mysterious organization from Resident Evil: Village, are also involved in the story. Ultimately, Grace Ashcroft must decide whether to save or destroy Elpis samples. The “Bad” Ending: Destroying Elpis Mirroring the tone of Resident Evil: Extinction, Grace destroys the Elpis by typing “DESTROY ELPIS” into the machine. As the Ark installation initiates self-destruction, Leon rescues Grace, but he is weakened by Raccoon City Syndrome. Leon confronts Zeno (who resembles Albert Wesker) but is killed by a headshot. Grace escapes alone by helicopter after they fall from the platform into the well, presumably taking the villain with them. This is considered the “bad” ending because it lacks a final battle against Gideon or a post-credits scene.

The post-credits scene shows Grace back at her desk as an FBI analyst when she receives a call from Leon, who reveals that Emily is alive and has regained her sight, likely due to Elpis’s healing properties. Her supervisor asks Grace to write a comprehensive report on the events at the Ark and their broader implications; this 60-page report can be found in the bonus menu. The appearance of soldiers in black uniforms and gas masks suggests that The Connections are planning something for Resident Evil 10, and implies they eliminated the remaining BSAA forces. The “Good” Ending: Releasing Elpis

Resident Evil: Requiem’s Canonical Ending – Grace Releases Elpis, Battle with Transformed Gideon, Escape with Leon and Chris, Wolfpack Encounter, and Emily’s Future Revealed

Releasing Elpis leads to the “good” and potentially canonical ending. Grace uses the agent to save Leon, while Zeno loses his powers upon injecting the substance and is killed by Victor Gideon, who then transforms into a creature with tentacle-like appendages, similar to Nemesis. After defeating both phases of Gideon, Leon destroys his core with the Requiem. During their escape, a Wolfpack hunting squad led by Chris Redfield locates Grace and Leon, and they escape together by helicopter. Sherry and Emily are also saved using Elpis. The post-credits scene shows Emily under Grace’s care, and the existence of the biological weapons lab is exposed to the world.
