Ending: A | B | C | D | E | F | Unofficial Endings
As the main character Frank West, the player has the choice to complete or fail certain cases/scoops that will result in the player receiving a number of different endings. In total there are 6 official endings available (7, if the overtime True Ending is included) It should also be noted that there is a number of "unofficial" endings, such as if Frank does not find a cure during the 24 hours of overtime mode.
Ending A
As Frank steps out onto the roof, he looks around trying to see and hear any sign of his helicopter and his ticket out of Willamette, but Frank soon gets disgusted as he realizes that it is not coming. Frank wondering what to do begins to pace around the roof. Meanwhile, Ed DeLuca, the helicopter pilot, who is currently lying down on another rooftop in the city, looks towards the mall rooftop through his binoculars and is pleased to see Frank alive. He becomes overjoyed, when he remembers that he will be sharing a part of the scoop's profit and quickly gets into his helicopter to pick up Frank. Frank hears the helicopter's engine in the distance and turns to see if it is his ride. Frank begins to celebrate and shout in joy as Ed does the same.
Upon approach, Ed is still celebrating and his hand is caught by a stow-away zombie from behind, and is bitten on the neck. Frank sees the helicopter losing balance and control; he takes out his camera and uses the zoom in feature to see what is happening. Frank sees Ed getting bitten and blood splashes on the windshield. Frank looks up to see the helicopter flying overhead and as quickly as it flew over it vanished, over the malls rooftops into Leisure Park. A booming sound and smoke confirm Frank's worst fears. Frank unmoving just stares in shock at the area that the helicopter crashed. He falls to his knees, and believes that all hope is now officially lost. Frank stares on in disbelief that his only way out is now gone. Having totally given up, he continues to stand on his knees as the camera zooms away. A shuffling and familiar moaning is heard as a number of zombies begin to make their way towards Frank.
Notes:
- While this Ending ends on a cliffhanger, it does continue directly on in Overtime Mode, where you can achieve the "True Ending"
- Ending A is one of three endings that receive credits after completion of the game. The songs used in the credits are "Justified" by Drea (Eric Gorfain Mix) and a piano song by Hideki Okugawa and Marika Suzuki
- One of two endings which Ed DeLuca gets killed
- The survivors Frank managed to rescue were captured by the Special Forces, as stated in a note by Otis who managed to elude them. They are assumed to have at least been spared death, as the notebook marks them as "safe". This could be because they were with Jessie before "Clean Up" started.
- You can only get receive this ending when "Case Closed" has been achieved.
True Ending
Frank defeats Brock. As Brock falls off the side of the tank, he stares in disbelief as he is grabbed by a horde of zombies who have congregated around the tank and devour him. Isabela continues to foot-push zombies away from the toppled car. Frank gathering his breath, sits on his knees, and lets out a mighty, echoing, yell. The camera zooms out from Frank to a sky down view of the area, which shows the tank, Isabela, Frank, and the jeep being slowly surrounded by a massive block of zombies.
“Frank West managed to escape the town of Willamette with information pertinent to the incident under his belt. The news caused a fervor throughout the world, leading to the U.S. government to admit at least partial culpability in the livestock research program. However, no connection to the Willamette incident was acknowledged and the events that occurred there were deemed the work of a fringe terrorist group. The people of world, as could be expected from the modern culture of news saturation, soon let the Willamette incident fade from their minds. The authenticity of Carlito's chilling plan to utilize the orphans as his pawns has yet to be confirmed or proven false. And yet he complained that his belly was not full.”
Notes:
- The True Ending is one of three endings that receive credits after completion of the game. But it should be noted that the credits received here are "special" credits, as it shows an army of zombies walking together, towards and then past the camera. The song used at the end is the full version of the song "Justified" by Drea (Eric Gorfain Mix).
- TWhen Kindell is preparing to revolt and leave the safety of the security room, Frank changes his mind but the comment that "if you want to get out you would have to ride a tank to get past the National Guard" is reinforced here.
- TWhile it is known that Frank did indeed get out of Willamette, it is not known if Isabela did also escape with him. However, many people do speculate that she does survive, as there are rumors that a sequel is in the works.
