Ending Explained

This page contains expanded information on the story and ending for Resident Evil 4 Remake. From expanded backstories, to missing content, there are many important changes, and below you will find some of the biggest plot points.

The Mid Credits Ending

Albert Wesker is usually the mastermind behind the scenes, and the tradition continues in the Resident Evil 4 Remake. Originally making an appearance in both Separate Ways, and Assignment Ada, Wesker’s involvement was clear, with him tasking Ada Wong to retrieve the ever so precious plaga sample - so he could resurrect Umbrella.

The remake slightly changes this, with Wesker spelling out his bonkers plans for world domination, and that once he obtains the sample, there’ll be billions of casualties. Ada, not wanting that on her conscience, decides to command the escape helicopter for herself, as well as the sample, flying off into the sunset.

If it wasn’t clear enough what Wesker might be referring to, he is, of course, bringing up his plans for complete global saturation, a lovely nod to Resident Evil 5. Eagle eyed players can also spot pictures of both Excella Gionne (Wesker’s evil confidant in RE5) and the Stairway of the Sun, the west-African virus progenitor laden plant from RE5, in the reflection of his sunglasses.

The Village

Everyone’s favorite Resident Evil religious cult, the Los Illuminados, are back and even deadlier than before.

With a killer reintroduction, showing a struggling woman who is about to be executed, filled with ominous chanting and a particularly rusty ax. But who is this stranger? Well, she’s referenced only moments after by the soon to be departed Spanish cop duo “I mean, last week there was a search for some missing hikers.”. And much later on, you’ll be able to visit the scene of the crime, coming across the other missing hiker.

Despite being a dangerous bunch back in the original, the Los Iluminados of the remake are clearly a bigger threat, upping the ante towards the locals and any unsuspecting passerbyers.

We also get more insight on the development of the Village thanks to the Village Chief's logs. Originally the place seemed to steer clear of the outside world, which explains how the place feels like its from the early 1900s when RE4 takes place in the early 2000s.

From what’s available to read, it appears the village itself was prospering under its new chief! Mendez would homeschool the local children, all while dining with the village families to trade gossip and grievances, and had even opened the village up to the outside world - what a lovely guy, surely nothing could go wrong!

On top of that, we learn that Luis Sera Navarro, as a child, was living with his sick grandfather by a cabin near a lake - the very same one Leon eventually rescues Luis from later on. After Mendez meets with the Navarro’s, Luis’ grandfather tells the chief “If anything happens, you know what to do”. Shortly afterwards, the old man passes away, Luis runs away, and the Los Illuminados return to the village and begin administering the local population with the plaga, with Mendez unsure whether or not he can trust them.

Los Iluminados

While the exact origins of the plagas aren’t fully explained in the original Resident Evil 4, the remake does contain some key differences, and goes further into detail - expanding upon the relationship between Osmund Saddler and Ramon Salazar.

According to the 2005 original’s Butler’s Memo, Ramon Salazar had no family, and Lord Saddler was able to influence Ramon into undoing the seal of the Las Plagas once made by his own ancestors. In the remake however, when reading the Housekeeper’s Memo 1, we find out that the previous Salazar and castellan of the castle, Lord Diego, was actively fighting against the Saddlers, in order to keep the plagas away from their family reach - giving both the Salazar’s and Saddler’s of yesteryear, a storied history together that was unseen in the original.

You can find epitahs, monuments, and tombs to the Saddler lineage all over the Island, dating all the way back to the very first one: Adam Saddler, dated MDLIV (1554!) stating that he had discovered the Plaga beneath the castle. However, it seems they were thwarted by the Salazar lineage, who were awarded the title of the Castellan for the castle when they expelled the Iluminados led by Hester Saddler, and exiled them back to the island in MDCCXLI (1741). Judging by the statue of Osmund by the altar with the numerals XV, it seems that he is the 15th in the Saddler bloodline - which means they've been waiting a long time for their revenge!

Saddler is also shown to have greater power over the mind-controlling abilities of the plagas once a host is infected. Before you reach the castle’s maze, Saddler takes control over a weakened Ashley, tricking her into attacking Leon with his own knife, and causing the two to separate right. But the remake doesn’t just stop there, and actually goes one step further - highlighting just how strong Saddler’s mind-altering abilities really are, with him being powerful enough to directly influence Leon’s mind, causing him to hallucinate.

Leon, Krauser, and the US Government

Originally, Leon’s explanation as to how he became a secret agent was a little vague. Explaining that he received “special training” via a “secret organization”, working under the direct control of the President. Remake Leon however, makes it clear that he was forced to join the government against his own will - having to undergo the same special training, but with punishing missions, pushing him to the brink of death - all while being trained under Major Krauser.

Those punishing missions? A reference to Operation Javier, from 2009’s Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, released four years after Resident Evil 4, meaning the original release of RE4 missed some pretty crucial backstory regarding Leon and Krauser.

While he might look like the same coldhearted, knife-wielding soldier that we all loved to hate back in 2005, Major Jack Krauser enters the remake with a significantly expanded story that not only changes his motivations, but also his relationship with Leon.

Despite Leon and Krauser clearly sharing some history together, there wasn’t much to bite your teeth into until Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which shows Krauser and Leon teaming up to take down a South American drug cartel who's been working with Umbrella. Over the course of the campaign, you’d come to learn about Krausers mistrust of Leon, and his desire, above all else, to gain power through the use of bio-organic weapons.

While none of this, naturally, could’ve been mentioned in the original Resident Evil 4, it plays an important role in setting up Krauser’s motivations in the remake, and his hatred for the US government.

Thanks to a Redacted Case File in the remake, we come to find out that Operation Javier didn’t go according to plan. With Krauser leading an entire team of elite soldiers into South America, only for Krauser to be the only returning survivor - his team killed by the very same people who organized the mission in the first place, and then covered up.

Once you eventually defeat the crazed soldier, Krauser expresses pride in Leon’s combat abilities, with his final words acknowledging Leon by name, instead of "Rookie".

Luis, the self-confessed ladies man of Resident Evil 4, not only has a more detailed backstory in the remake, but also a lot more screen time as well - instead of annoyingly walking away during the most inconvenient times, or, like a dummy, saying he’s dropped plot important items when we could really do with having them.

Although describing himself as just “A researcher hired by Saddler”, you actually come to find out that his credentials go a lot deeper than that. Formerly working for Umbrella, Luis was part of their European division. Heading up research on how to further develop the plagas into an effective bio-organic weapon. Luis’ guilt for his actions are made clear each time Leon asks why he’s helping, but his actions eventually catch up with him, when Krauser, not Saddler like in the original, puts Luis out of commission.

10 Pieces Of Starfield Cut Content That Should Be Reintroduced To The Game

There's one great way to make ff7 rebirth feel more like the original game, 10 hardest bosses in elden ring: shadow of the erdtree, ranked by difficulty.

The remake of Resident Evil 4 has been released to an overall positive reception, and the game has also set itself up well for future DLC. As a modernized take on one of the Resident Evil franchise's most beloved classic entries, the Resident Evil 4 remake follows many of the same beats as the original game with a few surprising additions, following in the same vein as previous remakes for Resident Evil 2 and 3 .While Resident Evil 4 's remake is mostly faithful to the original, there are a few notable missing aspects from the 2005 classic. Some set pieces, sections, or boss fights have been shifted around or outright removed in the remake, although usually replaced by new or updated content, and as a whole, the game takes on a somewhat more serious tone (although it still retains much of the original's cheesy dialogue). Perhaps more notably, however, the remake's launch was missing some of the original's extra modes, like Resident Evil 4 's popular The Mercenaries mode, although this is coming to the game as free DLC shortly.

Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC Is (Probably) On The Way

Luckily, however, Resident Evil 4 's remake has positioned itself well for story-related DLC campaigns, in addition to the already-announced free Mercenaries DLC; with Separate Ways DLC being all but confirmed by data-mined files, as reported by Twitter user, @ResiEvilCentral . Other possible DLCs include Operation Javier , a story involving Leon and Krauser originally set in 2009's Wii spinoff Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles , and Assignment: Ada , a short mode taking place on the island section of Resident Evil 4 's main story. Of the three possible additions, however, Separate Ways has the most evidence supporting its eventual addition to the game.

Separate Ways Could Be A Second Story Campaign For RE4 Remake

Featuring Ada Wong as a playable character, the original Separate Ways is a bonus campaign following a storyline that proceeds parallel to the main story, filling in several gaps and showing Ada's role in assisting Leon at several points in the game. With files for Another Order (the original name for the campaign for Japanese releases) having been data mined from the Resident Evil 4 remake, it seems likely that the campaign is currently being developed as DLC, to be released at a later date. In a similar vein to Resident Evil Village 's Shadows of Rose DLC, Separate Ways is likely to offer significantly modified gameplay from the main story.

While the Separate Ways campaign still falls within the basic framework of the original Resident Evil 4 's gameplay, it presents some key changes. Compared to Leon in the main story, Ada is slightly faster, has different melee attacks, and a hookshot giving her access to a few different areas. However, reflecting the more contained nature of the campaign, its weapon selection is much more condensed, with the only available guns being a Blacktail pistol and a shotgun. Moreover, although the merchant is present in Separate Ways , the original bonus campaign opts to leave weapon upgrading out, meaning that Ada's arsenal stays at the same strength throughout.

With only five chapters, a limited selection of weapons, and the absence of the weapon upgrading system, a Separate Ways DLC for the Resident Evil 4 remake could do with some significant changes - especially if, unlike the original, it will come at additional cost. As a presumably paid DLC instead of a free bonus mode, Separate Ways would be due for some big expansions to its content, fleshing it out into a true parallel campaign to the Resident Evil 4 remake's main story. It remains to be seen what an updated Separate Ways could entail, but longer/more missions, additional weapons, and weapon upgrades could be a good start.

Operation Javier and Assignment: Ada DLCs Aren't Likely To Release

Compared to Separate Ways , however, DLC associated with Operation Javier or Assignment: Ada remains somewhat less likely. With no data mined files to support their eventual release, any evidence supporting them would have to come from the RE4 's remake itself. While vague allusions to Operation Javier have been integrated into the story of the remake, they seem mostly to exist to provide more backstory for Krauser, giving him character motivation he lacked in the original game, and strengthening his connection to Leon. While it can't be written off entirely, much of Operation Javier' s presence in the main game seems to serve as a way to better integrate Krauser as a third-act villain.

Moreover, the game that Operation Javier originates from, Darkside Chronicles, might present some challenges of its own in creating a potential Operation Javier DLC. Notably, Darkside Chronicles is a co-op rail shooter for the Wii, meaning that very little of its gameplay would be directly translatable to the gameplay of Resident Evil 4 Remake . With Leon and Krauser's relationship being both more fleshed-out and also somewhat changed in the remake, there isn't much need to further expand on it with an Operation Javier DLC - although it could, in theory, operate similarly to the remake's sections where Leon partners with Luis.

Finally, with the very likely release of Separate Ways , an Assignment: Ada DLC may just be redundant, being as it is both non-canon and even smaller in scope than the original RE4 's other bonus modes. If anything, it's more likely that any of Assignment: Ada' s more compelling ideas will simply be folded into a Separate Ways DLC, with the mode's hunt for plagas samples being a potential carryover. As a short bonus mode, offering the first instance of a playable Ada before Separate Way 's inclusion in later releases, Assignment: Ada is unlikely to be re-released as DLC for Resident Evil 4 's remake - especially with Separate Ways all but confirmed.

With some DLC for Resident Evil 4 's remake already confirmed, and potentially more on the way, there's plenty of room for the game to expand its content, perhaps even elaborating on its final boss and ending . With The Mercenaries already announced for April 7, one of the original game's most popular bonus modes is already guaranteed to be returning. And, although it has yet to be announced or confirmed by Capcom, data mines make a Separate Ways DLC for Resident Evil 4 's remake almost certain.
