* Season 2 of ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'' famously gave a {{role reversal|AU}} to the Joker and Harley Quinn. Mr. J (here an unstable mental patient who's not yet a criminal mastermind) is the fawning, eager, lovesick minion while Harley is impassive, exploits Joker's feelings for her, and Harley is the one in charge (although she hints she has some feelings for him, but sees him as childish and wasting his potential). Two different versions of the finale take this in still other directions:
** In the "Vigilante" version, Joker will actually be willing to turn her in to the authorities for her own good, even knowing she'll hate him for it.
** In the "Villain" version, Joker becomes more assertive and earns Harley's admiration, with them becoming more equal partners and a borderline OutlawCouple [[spoiler: though you soon learn that Joker is willing to work behind her back to mess with Batman, and when the chips are down he even flees the scene, leaving her behind with a half-abashed smile]].

** This happened to both sides of the ''same character''. In the comics, Mr. Negative and his alter ego "Martin Li" were a case of SplitPersonality, being aware of the other's existence, but not the other's actions.

* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'' changes the relationship between [[Creator/DanteAlighieri Dante]] and Beatrice from the ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Inferno]]'' from the one-sided CourtlyLove of Dante to a full-on marriage. This makes it easier to explain their dynamic without relying on the ''Literature/VitaNuova'' and to reduce her to a DamselInDistress for Dante to rescue.

{{Adaptation Relationship Overhaul}}s in VideoGames.
----
* In the LicensedGame ''VideoGame/AvatarTheLastAirbenderIntoTheInferno'', Azula repeatedly refers to her ''older'' brother Zuko as her younger brother. She might be condescending, however it's also possible that the writers got that mixed up.
* Season 2 of ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'' famously gave a {{role reversal|AU}} to the Joker and Harley Quinn. Mr. J (here an unstable mental patient who's not yet a criminal mastermind) is the fawning, eager, lovesick minion while Harley is impassive, exploits Joker's feelings for her, and Harley is the one in charge (although she hints she has some feelings for him, but sees him as childish and wasting his potential).

* ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'': The game potrays [[{{Deuteragonist}} Johnny's]] and [[TheLostLenore Alt's]] relationship as a TheMasochismTango on-and-off friends with benefits/casual dating relationship, while in ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}}'' they were a firmly established couple.
* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'' changes the relationship between [[Creator/DanteAlighieri Dante]] and Beatrice from the ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Inferno]]'' from the one-sided CourtlyLove of Dante to a full-on marriage. This makes it easier to explain their dynamic without relying on the ''Literature/VitaNuova'' and to reduce her to a DamselInDistress for Dante to rescue.
* In ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'', the villainous duo Towa and Mira are [[UnholyMatrimony married]]; in ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' their relationship is strictly creator and creation; they even turn on each other in ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2 Xenoverse 2]]'', since Mira starts disobeying Towa's orders [[BloodKnight out of desire for a good fight]] and eventually absorbs her to become more powerful.
** A side-effect of this is completely changing the character of Fu. In ''Online'' he's Towa and Mira's biological son and only appeared [[AllThereInTheManual in a guidebook]] as a baby, with Towa planning to make him ruler of the Demon Realm when he grows up. In ''Xenoverse 2'' he's an [[ArtificialHuman Artificial Lifeform]] made with Towa and Mira's DNA, which allows him to appear as a young adult and actually participate in the plot. [[spoiler:He also turns out to be the WhiteSheep of the family, refusing to go along with their plans and simply wanting to study history and time travel.]]
* In ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 5'', there's a lot of ShipTease between Guan Ping and Xingcai who is a CompositeCharacter of Zhang Fei's two daughters who are also Liu Shan's two wives. The seventh game onwards downplayed the relationship, making them PlatonicLifePartners instead after Liu Shan became a playable character. In the ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' and the historical records which the game and the novel is based from, no such relationship exist between them.
* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Tyrion Lannister and Margaery Tyrell have virtually no relationship with each other, and seem somewhat indifferent about each other, with the most overall connection being that Tyrion seems to have some amount of respect for Margaery, and Margaery seems mostly to just accept him. In ''VideoGame/GameOfThronesTelltale'' however Margaery [[TookALevelInJerkass dislikes Tyrion]], to the point where she almost [[DisproportionateRetribution fires Mia Forrester for merely talking to him.]] Part of this is {{Justified}} as Mira is from North, which makes her suspicious to some and Margaery knows this.
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature'' was an outsourced {{retool}} of ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon64'' where a large portion of the characterization was changed. Many characters relationships were revamped:
** In ''64'' the bachelorettes are the grandchildren of the [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon1 SNES]] bachelorettes -- Ann is related to Ann, Maria is related to Maria, Elli is related to Ellen (who is still alive), Karen is related to Eve, and Popuri is related to Nina. ''Back To Nature'' holds no such implications and takes place in Mineral Town instead of Flowerbud Village. The protagonist is heavily implied to be the grandson of the first protagonist in ''64'' while in ''Back To Nature'' he gets his farm from an unrelated older man who he befriended as a child.
** In ''64'' the rival couples were Ann/Cliff, Maria/Harris, Elli/Jeff, Karen/Kai, and Popuri/Gray. In ''Back To Nature'', the rival couples are Ann/Cliff, [[SuddenNameChange Mary]]/Gray, Elli/Doctor, Karen/Rick, and Popuri/Kai.
** In ''64'' Gotz owned the local winery, was married to Sasha, and Karen was his daughter. In ''Back To Nature'' Gotz is a widower living in the woods while Sasha is married to Jeff. In ''64'' Jeff was Ellen's father figure and [[WifeHusbandry love interest.]]
** In ''64'' Rick is related to Ann and Gray, who are siblings. They all [[StrongFamilyResemblance have red hair]] due to their grandmother, Ann from [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon1 the first game]]. In ''Back To Nature'' Rick is Popuri's sibling. Gray isn't related to Ann or Rick, and neither is Ann related to either man.
** In ''64'' Kai and Rick don't interact or show any dislike for each other. In ''Back To Nature'' Rick is an [[MySisterIsOffLimits overprotective older brother]] while Kai TookALevelInJerkass and frequently teases him.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** The series alters the dynamic between Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith. In which, Aerith is [[ImpliedLoveInterest implied to be Cloud's love interest]], while Tifa is portrayed as the manifestation of his inner light (it's left vague if she is even an ''actual person'' or not). When, in ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Final Fantasy VII's]]'' canon, Cloud and Tifa are the game's OfficialCouple and [[spoiler:Aerith dies, only to be TogetherInDeath with her boyfriend Zack]].
** In ''Final Fantasy VII'' and its related games, Zack is a PosthumousCharacter but was Aerith's love interest. In this canon Zack and Aerith haven't even met, and Zack is alive. [[spoiler:[[AmbiguousSituation Probably.]]]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'':
** Mega Man, Roll and Proto Man are "sibling robots" made by the same creator, Dr. Light, as do the other DLN line of Robot Masters such as Elec Man or Bomb Man. In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', all of them are unrelated; Roll, Guts Man and Proto Man are Mega Man's allies made by different people.
** In ''Classic'', Bass was created by Dr. Wily. In BN, he's created by Dr. Cossack instead.
** Treble (aka Gospel) is Bass' robot wolf companion in ''Classic''. In ''BN'', it's a separate entity made out of internet bugs that threaten the Internet. Although later Bass do come in contact with this Gospel and take its power for himself.
** Many ''BN'' versions of enemy Robot Masters end up becoming Mega Man's friends and allies, although some of them do start as Mega Man's foes.
* ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}'': Since Nier was aged up in the western port to appeal to western audiences, Yonah is changed from his sister to his daughter.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Crocodile and Mihawk don't have any real opinion of each other, and their only interaction was a brief confrontation at Marineford when Crocodile protected Daz Bones from Mihawk. In Crocodile's story in ''Grand Adventure'', the two were friendly rivals.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'', Buttercup has an unrequited PrecociousCrush on Ace. In ''VideoGame/FusionFall'', she is given a PlotRelevantAgeUp (though still not old-enough-looking to date Ace) and they're [[DatingCatwoman a couple]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank2016'' (the Ratchet & Clank movie based on the original game) and ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2016'' (the game based on that movie), Ratchet and Clank are much more friendly towards each other, much like their characterization [[CharacterizationMarchesOn in most of the other games]], in stark contrast to their characterizations in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002'' where Ratchet is a {{Jerkass}} toward Clank for most of the game and Clank occasionally gets snappish back at him.
* In the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, [[CanonImmigrant Amy Rose]] debuted in the April 1992 issue of ''Shogaku Ninensei'' (Second Grade) as a [[AdaptationDyeJob brown]] hedgehog without a [[AdaptationNameChange surname]]. The [[Manga/SonicTheHedgehog Shogakukan series]] depicted her and Sonic (or rather, his manga-exclusive SecretIdentity) as an OfficialCouple. ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'' and all later appearances changed her from a traditional supportive girlfriend to a ClingyJealousGirl whose affections [[DependingOnTheWriter may or may not]] be [[ShipTease reciprocated]].
* ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'':
** This happened to both sides of the ''same character''. In the comics, Mr. Negative and his alter ego "Martin Li" were a case of SplitPersonality, being aware of the other's existence, but not the other's actions. While there's hints of Negative being Li's SuperpoweredEvilSide, Li doesn't have a split personality and thus is consciously Mr. Negative.
** Among the ''many'' changes to the Tinkerer in ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales'' is that [[spoiler:the character is Rick Mason's [[AgeLift younger]] [[GenderFlip sister]], not Rick's elderly father as in the comics]].
