At the end of Resident Evil Requiem (RE9), players are forced to make a devastating choice: Destroy Elpis or Release Elpis.
'Destroy Elpis' Ending
If you make the wrong decision and destroy Elpis, it leads to the worst ending in the entire game.
Leon Kennedy dies, Zeno escapes and swears revenge against Grace, and Sherry Birkin is doomed because she carries the same infection Leon had.
Since Elpis was the cure, destroying it removes the only chance of saving the infected.
Emily cannot be saved either, meaning several characters are lost permanently in this ending.
This outcome creates one of the darkest conclusions ever seen in a Resident Evil game.
‘Release Elpis’ True Ending
The true ending of Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) reveals one of the biggest twists in the series.
If Elpis is released, the truth is revealed — Elpis isn’t a virus or bioweapon at all… it’s a cure.
Created secretly by Oswell E. Spencer, Elpis was meant to atone for the horrors caused by Umbrella.
The antiviral can cure any B.O.W infection and completely heal the host.
Releasing Elpis changes everything:
• Leon Kennedy is cured
• Emily and Sherry are saved
• Wesker’s imitation is finally destroyed
Victor Gideon attempts to seize Elpis for himself, but the truth about Umbrella’s history begins to surface.
The ending also reveals shocking new information about Raccoon City, including the truth behind the bomb that destroyed the city.
This is one of the most important moments in Resident Evil 9, and it could change the future of the entire franchise.
With this ending, Chris’s BSAA squad will personally meet with Leon in Raccoon City, with a message from Chris Redfield.
