10 Unanswered Questions From Resident Evil 7
7. Which Ending Is Canon?
Mid-way through the game, the player is given a choice, to cure the infection of their wife Mia or Jack and Marguerite's daughter Zoe.
Curing Mia results in Zoe disappearing from the narrative and a seemingly happy ending follows where Ethan and Mia are reunited on a chopper. Curing Zoe meanwhile results in Zoe being re-infected and killed by Eveline moments later, and Ethan is later forced to kill Mia.
It's clear that Mia is the good ending and Zoe the bad one, but which of them is actually canon?
The Likely Answer: Picking your wife over someone you just met is by far the more realistic of the two scenarios, but considering the possibility that Resident Evil 8 could be mostly unrelated to Ethan's story, Capcom may simply choose not to pick an ending.
Alternatively, they could take the "a little from column A, a little from column B" approach to totally catch fans off-guard and come up with a new narrative through-line.
