The two endings each concern the playable Expedition 33 characters Verso and Maelle, respectively, and will be provided near the end of the game in Act 3. Choosing to play as Verso will see players fight Maelle, while picking Maelle will have players take on Verso in a final showdown after it is revealed that the Paintress is not the true antagonist of the game.

This is because the two have opposing ideals concerning how the story should be wrapped up, which also decides the fate of this painted world they find themselves in. After the climactic finale, a different epilogue will play out depending on which character was picked to be played as. For more details, check out our explanation guide for endings.

Those who picked one choice need not worry, as they can reload older save files to go back to the autosave point when deciding the fate of the Canvas and play as the other character. The game's finale is fairly heart-wrenching, so fans invested in the story will most certainly want to check out both endings in full to get closure on the tale.
