* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has a habit of ascending characters that appear in promotional material, and even community fads:
** Saxton Hale, the Australian C.E.O. of Mann Co., started out as a gag parody of a 1940's Charles Atlas advertisement. The community then embraced him as a MemeticBadass, even giving him a mod where the whole RED team fights him in his honor. Although still not officially in the game, he is a major character in the Mann Vs. Machine arc, hiring the mercenaries after they lose their jobs working for RED and BLU.
** In the Australian Christmas update, the justification for the characters being sent in time to DeGroot Keep is that "the Soldier angered a magician." In the next Halloween update, said magician, named Merasmus, is revealed to be the Soldier's roommate (as well as the one responsible for the Demoman having only one eye), and they both hate each other. The Halloween update after that, Merasmus finally loses it and becomes that year's Halloween boss, and this time, [[ThatOneBoss he means business]].

* Back in the first ''SamuraiWarriors'', there's one certain generic officer named Honda Tadakatsu who stood up in defense of TokugawaIeyasu during the battle of Mikatagahara, and Takeda Shingen refers him as one of Ieyasu's luxuries. Then Xtreme Legends get announced to have brand new 4 characters, two of them are ToyotomiHideyoshi and Imagawa Yoshimoto who already got unique character model despite being NPC in the vanilla version, one of them is a brand new archer babe called Inahime, whose father is... Honda Tadakatsu, who is the last playable character and ascended so great he practically became SW's answer to [[DynastyWarriors Lu]] [[{{Badass}} Bu]].
* Both ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' and [[TheWitcher2 its sequel]] enjoy using this trope. Side characters from the books, such as Triss and Zoltan, get upgraded to main characters in the games, with the former even becoming the protagonist's main LoveInterest. Other characters who largely existed as names dropped in the text, like Iorveth, make actual appearances and get fully fleshed out.
