History Main / ForestOfPerpetualAutumn

** ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'': Laverre City and Routes 15 and 16 have a much yellower palette overall compared to the usual green foliage, and the ground in some places is strewn with fallen leaves. The trees of the likewise heavily forested Route 14 nearby all have muted brownish foliage, and the route itself, covered by flooded graveyards and inhabited by Ghost Pokémon, has a noticeable Halloween theme.

* The online version of ''VideoGame/{{Uru}}'' features a Garden Age called Eder Delin, with tall brown-leafed trees that constantly shed, complete with an orange-hued sky. The Age does receive occasional snowfall, but the trees still remain the same.

* The ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy'' series features several autumn forests, with the twist that they are [[BigBoosHaunt associated with the undead:]]
** ''VideoGame/BulletHeaven2''[='=]s eighth stage, Browngrave Necropolis, opens with an autumn forest and has orange versions of previous plant enemies. Its {{superboss}} is an orange, undead version of the bush enemy that serves as the first boss.

* Maple trees in ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'' are always a bright orange, no matter what time of year it is. Seer's Village and the surrounding region have them in abundance, giving northern Kandarin an aesthetic of perpetual autumn.

** ''VideoGame/Pikmin4'': Primordial Thicket is a muddy area deep within a forest that appears to be in an autumn state, with many plants in shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. Even the names of its landing sites bring to mind autumn imagery. The location has callbacks to the autumn areas of ''2'' and ''3'', having a 1,000-weight treasure and final cave like the Wistful Wild, plus the Winged Onion like the Twilight River.

* The ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode ''Jet'' takes place in a forest of red-leafed trees. Considering the episode takes place shortly after the Winter Solstice, they're probably like that year-round.

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'': Most of the wooded areas are [[ItsAlwaysSpring very green,]] like Kryta and the southern reaches of the otherwise [[EndlessWinter white]] Shiverpeaks. However, the Charr lands of Ascalon are done up in red and orange foliage.

In large-scale games that feature a wide variety of locations themed along the lines of GreenHillZone or TheLostWoods, the developers may choose to mix things up with one wooded area that is in autumn even though other such areas are in spring or summer. Whereas other areas will have green and fully-leafed trees, this area will have brown and orange leaves on its trees. Unless the setting is a fantasy world where AWizardDidIt, there will almost never be an explanation for why this area is experiencing a different season from the rest. The out-of-story explanation, though, is because autumn is very pretty while also being a nice change of pace from spring and summer settings, while winter will almost [[SnowMeansCold guarantee]] an [[SlippySlideyIceWorld ice level]].

* ''VideoGame/PokemonRumbleBlast'' features two Autumnwood areas in Volcanic Slope and Firebreathing Mountain, which have perpetually orange-leafed trees. They're home to various Grass- and Bug-type Pokémon, and [[OlympusMons Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus]] can also occasionally be found there.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'': While most forested screens in the game have green springtime trees, TheLostWoods instead feature orange-leafed trees. It helps to distinguish the mystical, [[TheMaze maze-like]] area from the more mundane forests elsewhere.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'': The Akkala region consists of woodlands, prairies, and wetlands filled with red-, orange-, gold- and brown-leafed trees, bushes, and grasses.

** The Runewood -- a forested area within Stormhelm, a region of the Broken Isles -- consists of trees whose leaves are in perpetual fall gold, something that goes for both the broad-leafed trees and the conifers.

* The ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode ''Jet'' takes place in a forest of red-leafed trees. Considering the episode takes place in the middle of spring, they're probably like that year-round.

* The ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode ''Jet'' takes place in a forest of red-leafed trees. Considering the episode takes place in the middle of spring, they're probably always like that.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': The woodland around the Elven town of Rivendell is in a permanent autumnal state to [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolize]] the declining influence of the Elves in Middle-earth.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleOfSeasons'': One of the core game mechanics is that the seasons are out of whack in Holodrum, resulting in a PatchworkMap where spring, summer, autumn and winter are shoved together and can be cycled through manually with the Rod of Seasons. The gloomy [[TheLostWoods Tarm Ruins]] are in autumn by default and reset to it as soon as you leave.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'': The Akkala region consists of woodlands, prairies and wetlands filled with red-, orange-, gold- and brown-leafed trees, bushes, and grasses.

* The online version of ''VideoGame/{{Uru}}'' features a Garden Age called Eder Delin, with tall brown-leafed trees that constantly shed, complete with an orange-hued sky. The Age does recieve occasional snowfall, but the trees still remain the same.

* ''VideoGame/BugFables'' has Golden Path and Golden Hills, which are the places set in perpetual autumn, with yellowish-orange grass and constantly falling leaves. Golden Settlement, a farming settlement providing most of Bugaria's food and dyes, is built there. [[spoiler:The perpetual autumn is explained to be the result of the actions of [[PhysicalGod Venus]], the harvest goddess residing on the top of the Golden Hills.]]

*** The deeper parts of the Mystic Woods feature orange leaves and enemies such as Haunted Mirrors and Wraiths. In this case, the forest is explicitely said to be cursed.

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter4'': The Ancestral Steppe is the first hunting area in the game. It's a temperate region whose flora ranges between yellow in the frontier zones to red in the inner ones (best appreciated in Area 4 when you look at the upper background), though some green folly is still present to an extent. It also includes a climbable rocky plateau in the northernmost territory. It is even called "Autumn Steppe" in the Spanish version, while its BattleThemeMusic is called "Golden Reminiscence".

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'': Socarrat Trail is a pathway near Casseroya Lake marked by gold-orange hued grass and leaves. Adding to the theme, it's one of two places in Paldea where you can catch Deerling and Sawsbuck in their Autumn Form.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' has the Morgana Woods in the Eastgand region where Velvet's hometown of Aball is located. The trees and surrounding flora have orange to red-colored leaves all year round, and it's explained in-game that the reason the forest experiences perpetual autumn is because of the gradually-cooling climate in the area.

** Azshara is a forested area on the eastern coast of Kalimdor (the westernmost continent of the game world) cloaked in an eternal autumn. The trees are always a rich orange and red, while the grasses and ground cover are in a more muted ochre. It's worth noting that all the trees in the area are conifers, and resemble pines more than anything. This does nothing to stop their needles from being a brilliantly red as any maple's leaves in autumn.
** The Runewood -- a forested area within Stormhelm, a region of the Broken Isles -- consists of trees whose leaves are in perpetual fall gold, something that goes for both the broadleafed trees and the conifers.

* ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'': Autumn Plains. The other homeworlds have summer and winter themes for comparison; Autumn Plains has yellow and brown trees, leaves falling and pale skies.

** ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' has the Wistful Wild, an eerie forest region with decaying flora that merges the mainlands of [[spoiler:the Impact Site and the Final Trial]] from the first ''Pikmin'' game. Four of the five treasures found aboveground (a pinecone, a chestnut, a mushroom and an acorn) are all the kind of flora you'd expect to find littering the forest floor in autumn (the fifth treasure is the infamous Doomsday Apparatus, which can only be retrieved with 100 Purple Pikmin).

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' features the Rift, a hold located in the southeastern portion of Skyrim and covered by an extensive forest. While the evergreen trees are fairly unremarkable, the deciduous trees (mainly birches and larches), bushes and grasses are in constant autumn foliage, painting the Rift in red, yellow and gold. Drifting, falling leaves fill the air in most places, and there are also squash-like gourds growing wild. While Skyrim is a [[GrimUpNorth cold, wintery land]] overall, the non-snow covered deciduous trees we see elsewhere have full sets of green leaves.

* ''Literature/LumbanicoTheCubicPlanet'': A vast region known as the Yellow Valley is in a permanent autumn and frequently shrouded in golden-hued mists due to the planet's strange climate.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': In the supplement [=WG7=] ''Castle Greyhawk'', Level 4 of the titular castle, "There's No Place Like Up", takes place almost entirely in an extradimensional area called "Eternal Autumn Woods". Most of the area consists of a forest with gold, orange and red leaves. The ground is covered with things like piles of raked leaves and bushels of apples.

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'' has the Read Leaf Forest (Momijibayashi) where Kijo Momiji resides. It's also apparently right next to the [[ItsAlwaysSpring Cherry Blossom Forest]] (Ōkarin).
