** ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has this as a byproduct of the war of the gods Chaos and Cosmos ([[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015 and later their successors Spiritus and Materia]]), with the majority of the arenas being areas from the mainline games (and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics a few]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0 spin-offs]]) -- including locales that would logically be difficult to access under normal circumstances like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Lunar Subterrane]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV The Rift]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Planet's Core]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia's Castle]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Dream's End]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Orphan's Cradle]], and so on. The implication is that, save for possibly the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Chaos Shrine]] (which already existed in World A), these are simalcrums of the originals based on the memories of the warriors summoned to World B (which is nigh-identical to World A as revealed in ''Dissidia 012'').

After the "Fracture" live event, the Paradigm and the Loopers were able to use the Zero Point to create a new reforged Island from different parts of various dimensions and realities, kicking off Chapter 2,

Not to be confused with PatchworkMap, although such a map is a likely outcome of a Patchwork World. It also doesn't necessarily involve actual patchwork. See TimeCrash for when places from different eras are merged together.

* ''VideoGame/Fortnite'': Several examples found throughout the game.
** During Chapter 1, the map stayed pretty much the same in terms of terrain and aesthetic for the first 4 seasons, until things began to change.

** Epic experimented with map evolution in a different way in Chapter 2. While new biomes were added every season, they were reverted by the next, with only a few POIs or landmarks remaining.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': The Dream Bubbles, which serve as both a DreamLand and an afterlife, don't have natural landscapes per se and are instead shaped by the memories of the dreaming and deceased individuals staying in them. This results in surreal, patchwork environments as things and locations from many different worlds are placed side by side or interwoven -- Earth suburbs, Alternian forests of blue-leaved trees, the cities of gothic gold or purple spires of Prospit and Derse, the chess-patterned land of the Battlefield, landscapes of crystal or flesh or blue stone, rivers of water or fire or tar, all dotted with assorted items and miscellany, are all often encountered a few steps from one another. These patchwork lands shift and change often, as different places and things are recalled or dismissed, dreamers wake or arrive, and different bubbles merge or part.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': In The Subspace Emissary, the [[The VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Great Maze]] is made up of areas from the "normal" world that have been absorbed by [[SphereOfDestruction Subspace Bombs]].

** ''[[Franchise/GreenLantern Green Lantern:]]Mosaic
L'', where a realm composed of pieces from various planets (again including an Earth town) was created by an insane Guardian of the Universe. Strangely, the other Guardians decided to keep it as it was (against the wishes of most of its inhabitants) as an experiment in interspecies coexistence.

* Creator/DCComics used to have a series titled ''[[Franchise/GreenLantern Green Lantern: Mosaic]]'', where a realm composed of pieces from various planets (again including an Earth town) was created by an insane Guardian of the Universe. Strangely, the other Guardians decided to keep it as it was (against the wishes of most of its inhabitants) as an experiment in interspecies coexistence.

* In ''VideoGame/DurangoWildLands'', the landscape is constantly shifting due to unstable time warps. Resources and [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs extinct animals]] appear and disappear at random, and many of the islands themselves are unstable and can disappear at any time.

* The Slizer line from {{Franchise/LEGO}} features a [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qZv7WraxhgE/T34cnbC5GWI/AAAAAAAAABU/FGt7sggHQt0/s1600/Slizerplanet+11-6-98.jpg planet]] that is evenly divided into seven identically sized zones of vastly different environments right next to each other.

* ''[[{{VideoGame/Destiny}} Destiny]]'' has Fundament, a gas giant with floating continents made from the many, many different planets that were destroyed by its tidal forces. It's also the original homeworld of the Hive.
* ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has this as a byproduct of the war of the gods Chaos and Cosmos.

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, one of the more popular {{Creation Myth}}s states that this is the case for Nirn, the planet on which the series is set. [[GodOfGods Anu]] and [[TheAntiGod Padomay]] are the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification anthropomorphized]] primordial forces of [[OrderVersusChaos "stasis/order/light" and "change/chaos/darkness"]], respectively. Their interplay in the great "Void" led to Nir, "creation". Nir loved Anu, [[DrivenByEnvy which Padomay hated]]. Padomay killed Nir and the 12 worlds she gave birth to. Anu wounded Padomay, driving him off and presuming him dead. Anu salvaged the pieces of the 12 worlds to create one world: Nirn. Padomay returned and wounded Anu, seeking to destroy Nirn. Anu then [[TakingYouWithMe pulled Padomay and himself outside of time]], ending Padomay's threat to creation "forever". One of these 12 worlds was believed to have been Lyg, ruled by the [[FishPeople Dreugh]] in the name of [[GodOfEvil Molag]] [[TheCorrupter Bal]]. Another was the original world of the Hist, [[WiseTree sentient]] and possibly {{Omniscient}} trees now worshiped by the [[LizardFolk Argonians]] in Black Marsh.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', the two worlds are eventually melded into one.

* In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002'', Chairman Drek's villainout plot involves taking chunks of other planets to built a new home for the Blarg.[[spoiler:..and then run it into the ground, forcing them to move to the next planet to build, and so on]].
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': In ''The Subspace Emissary'', the [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Great Maze]] is made up of areas from the "normal" world that have been absorbed by [[SphereOfDestruction Subspace Bombs.]]
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'' takes place in one of these, as a result of the events of the [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia first game]].
