 The Ending Of Resident Evil Village 8 Explained

Resident Evil Village 

Resident Evil 8" is full of creepy things, including a whole host of terrifying monsters. Since its release in May 2021, fans have been combing through the smallest details in "Village," looking for clues as to how it relates to the rest of the "Resident Evil" franchise. Even though some characters and elements of the game were left on the cutting room floor, doomed to exist only in concept art form, there's still plenty of plot to sift through in "Village."

The first several acts of "Village" serve to give players information about the world of Mother Miranda and the elaborate family she has created in order to enact her overarching plans. However, by the end of "Resident Evil Village," references to past installments in the series have begun to mingle with the continuation of the plot of "Resident Evil 7." The last act of "Village" throws wave after wave of backstory and action at players, making certain events difficult to untangle. 

This look at the ending of "Resident Evil 8" will settle who ends up where, as well as what fans think may happen in the next game, based on hints left in "Village."

What happened to Mia?

When Chris enters Mother Miranda's lab near the end of the "Village," he finds Ethan's wife Mia trapped in a cage, scared and alone. She reveals that Miranda kept her trapped and performed experiments on her. More importantly, Mia shares that Ethan is "special," though she doesn't say why. Instead, players have to discover that on their own.

Before "Village" released, fans speculated that Mia and Ethan hadn't been cured from their Mold exposure in "Resident Evil 7." That would mean that their daughter Rosemary was also infected with the Mold, potentially granting her unnatural abilities. Rosemary's powers haven't necessarily been confirmed or denied, but Mia was clearly of scientific interest to Mother Miranda. Considering that Miranda has dedicated her life to studying the Megamycete, the progenitor of the Mold, it would make sense that her interest in Miranda was also somehow related to her mission to bring back her daughter Eva.

As far as players know, Mia ends up safe at the end of "Resident Evil 8," freed from her prison and able to raise Rosemary. Though the plot of "Village" doesn't necessarily follow Mia after her escape from Mother Miranda's lab, it seems that she exits the game relatively unscathed, but still Mold-infected.
