Resident Evil Requiem Endings Explained
Your choices at Rhodes Hill determine who lives, who dies, and what horror escapes into the world.
Resident Evil Requiem features multiple endings based on Emily's survival and the final Elpis decision. The ending system changes:
- Character survival — whether Emily makes it out of Rhodes Hill alive
- Final boss outcome — the fate of Elpis and the facility
- Future story implications — post-credits scenes that hint at what comes next
How Endings Work
Resident Evil Requiem features multiple endings based on two key factors:
- Emily's survival — whether you keep Emily alive through the research wing. Emily, one of the central characters in Resident Evil Requiem, is a young survivor who can read Braille and helps Grace uncover the truth.
- The Elpis choice — whether you release or destroy Elena / Elpis in the final act. Elpis is the mysterious entity connected to Elena that serves as the true source of the Rhodes Hill outbreak.
