** Raiden starts off as the BigGood of the Forces of Light, but after he CameBackWrong in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'', he became [[FaceHeelTurn Dark Raiden]], only to turn good at [[spoiler:the end of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon'', when he sends a message to his past self in a last-ditch attempt to stop [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Shao Kahn from destroying all of reality]], creating an alternate timeline. By the end of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', he's back again in his Dark Raiden persona after absorbing Shinnok's powers and purifying the Jinsei (Earthrealm's life-force), with the intent to go on the warpath to attack and destroy other realms (and possibly conquer them) if they dare to invade Earthrealm. However, the resulting TimeCrash in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' at the hands of [[TimeMaster Kronika]] [[CosmicRetcon erases]] this Raiden and replaces him with a younger, still good version from the ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII'' era, [[FutureMeScaresMe who is understandably concerned about his alternate self's behavior]].]] He did go on a temporary Heel-turn after succumbing to the effects of the amulet when time-displaced scorpion comes back with bad news, but shortly reverts back after having a vision. When time got rewinded again in Aftermath on that similar time spot, Raiden succumbs to the amulet when he sees Shang Tsung, but reverts back after convincing.

* Cerberus, the pro-human agenda terrorist NGOSuperpower of the ''Mass Effect'' trilogy, start off as a minor foe in side quests in ''VideoGame/MassEffect''. You end up working for them in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', and they return as enemies in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. Their goals are actually consistent throughout the games, it's just that in ''Mass Effect 2'' they were manipulating Shepard.

* Captain Qwark of ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank''. Initially, he was a hero, albeit a loud and boisterous one. Then, he became a villainous has-been. Then, he got his shot at being the BigBad. Then, he changed his mind ans went back to being a boisterous hero. While he's treated as the ButtMonkey and TheFriendNobodyLikes among the good guys, he's been a hero consistently since the series made the jump to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and beyond.

* ''VideoGame/DyztopiaPostHumanRPG'': Kael is a Hunter working for Zetacorp and despite being a good colleague to Akira, he's still subservient to an evil corporation. Later, [[spoiler:he fakes his death in Pon Pon and joins the Vulcanite Resistance to free Vulcanite from Zeta, but he's captured and forced to work for Zetacorp again, otherwise the bomb implanted in him will explode. While he is being forced to work for Zetacorp against his will, he also has a personal reason to attack Akira, since the latter killed his brother Barbados. If the player increased Barbados's link level at the start of the game, Kael will give up on revenge and have Akira heal him from the bomb's explosion, allowing him to permanently join the party. Otherwise, he dies fighting the party]].

* In later chapters of ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]'', it becomes ''confusing'' to tell what side Ōtengu is on, to say the least. He used to be Hiromasa's best bud and fight evil with him, but then betrays him and turns to evil himself. Later, he seems to reconcile with Hiromasa -- cue DuetBonding -- but ''then'' is still seen on the bad guys' team. Also, he might be super nice to Shoyō depending on whether you believe the winged monster leading him out of the mountains really is Ōtengu.
