* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, this is common for children among the LongLived species of Mer (Elves). Mer age similarly to the races of Men [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty until early adulthood]], at which point their aging slows considerably. While subject to an ImmortalProcreationClause which limits the overall number of children a Mer woman can have (with few having more than three), they apparently remain fertile for hundreds of years. A prominent example is Barenziah, Queen and later Queen Mother of Morrowind and Wayrest. As a teenager, she had an affair with [[GodEmperor Emperor]] [[FounderOfTheKingdom Tiber Septim]], which resulted in a pregnancy. Since a child with a Dunmeri mistress would be incredibly inconvenient to Septim and his nascent empire, he ordered his healer to magically abort the child. Barenziah would later marry Septim's Dunmeri general, Symmachus, and have two children with him -- Helseth (King of Morrowind during the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind eponymous game]] and Morgiah -- some 350 years after conceiving with Septim. Around 20 years later, she would also birth an illegitimate child with a mysterious figure known as the "Nightingale", later revealed to be Drayven Indoril; the child was Dralsi Indoril, mother of Karliah from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]''.

* Happens very often in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** At the time of Mia Fey's death at the start of the second case, she was 27 and her younger sister Maya was 17.
** There's an age gap of more than 15 years between Pearl Fey and her half-sister[[spoiler:s Dahlia and Iris]].
** In ''Rise From The Ashes'', Lana Skye is a 29-year-old public prosecutor, and her younger sister Ema is 16.
** Simon Blackquill and his older sister Aura are, at the time of ''Dual Destinies'', 28 and 37.
** In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'', near the end of the game, it is revealed that [[spoiler:Nahyuta and Rayfa]], who are 25 and 14 years old, respectively, are siblings.
** In ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'', Barok van Zieks' older brother Klint was 33 [[PosthumousCharacter at the time of his death 10 years before the start of the story]], the same age Barok is at the start of the story.
* The mermaid sisters Zelbess and Irenes in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' are far enough apart in age that Zelbess's son is three years older than Irenes.
* ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings'': As with all other tropes involving royalty, this one is very possible and capable of being exaggerated to the extreme. A male character can marry and sire their first child at the age of 16 and remains fertile (though decreasingly so) for their entire life, meaning a child from a later marriage (or a concubine) can born around the same time as a great-great-grandchild from the line of their first child (meaning said first child is a great-grandparent around the birth of their youngest sibling).
** [[VideoGame/CrusaderKingsII The second game]] introduces immortal characters, who can keep producing children [[ArbitraryHeadcountLimit as long as their current living children do not exceed ten]]. Becoming immortal at the earliest possible time (around 770 CE) means the ability to produce around 48 generations of children before the game ends in 1453.
* ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'': Haiji and Monaca Towa are half-siblings. Haiji is an adult while Monaca is in elementary school.
* There's a 376-year difference between Laharl and his little sister Sicily in ''VideoGame/DisgaeaD2ABrighterDarkness''. That said, it's actually something of a subversion due to ''VisualNovel/DisgaeaInfinite'' establishing that [[YearInsideHourOutside time passes differently in the Netherworld]], making the age gap technically closer to 4 years (which would also help to explain how their human mother lived so long).
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if [[spoiler:Loghain]] is recruited to be a Grey Warden near the end of the game and is selected to do the Dark Ritual, [[spoiler:his child by Morrigan is thirty years younger than his daughter Anora]].
** The most extreme example seen thus far in the series is revealed in the tie-in comic ''The Silent Grove.'' [[spoiler:The heroes meet Yavana, a daughter of the Witch of the Wilds Flemeth (whose lifespan goes back several ages). Yavana figures into Antivan legends dating back as far as the Exalted Age, as some believe she was responsible for the death of Queen Madrigal. This would make Yavana ''at least'' 400 years older than her half-sister Morrigan, who is first introduced as a companion in ''Origins''.]]
** Gaspard and Florianne de Chalons, cousins of Empress Celene who are first encountered in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', are brother and sister. Supplemental material reveals that Gaspard is thirteen years older than Florianne, and has doted on her since she was a little girl.
** In the background of the game's predominant religion, the resident CrystalDragonJesus Andraste had two daughters very late in her mortal marriage to the Alamarri warlord Maferath. These two daughters were much younger than their three older half-brothers, Maferath's sons by his concubine, who were already young men when the girls were born. (Part of the reason Maferath had a concubine was to have children -- it had been believed that Andraste was too frail to have a successful pregnancy -- so the daughters were a surprise.)
* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, this is common for children among the LongLived species of Mer (Elves). Mer age similarly to the races of Men [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty until early adulthood]], at which point their aging slows considerably. While subject to an ImmortalProcreationClause which limits the overall number of children a Mer woman can have (with few having more than three), they apparently remain fertile for hundreds of years. A prominent example is Barenziah, Queen and later Queen Mother of Morrowind and Wayrest. As a teenager, she had an affair with [[GodEmperor Emperor]] [[FounderOfTheKingdom Tiber Septim]], which resulted in a pregnancy. Since a child with a Dunmeri mistress would be incredibly inconvenient to Septim and his nascent empire, he ordered his healer to magically abort the child. Barenziah would later marry Septim's Dunmeri general, Symmachus, and have two children with him -- Helseth (King of Morrowind during the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind eponymous game]] and Morgiah -- some 350 years after conceiving with Septim. Around 20 years later, she would also birth an illegitimate child with a mysterious figure known as the "Nightingale", later revealed to be Drayven Indoril; the child was Dralsi Indoril, mother of Karliah from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]''.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', Ramza (18) and Alma (17) are much younger than their half-siblings Zalbag (28) and Dycedarg (37) at the start of the game.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', Oscar is twenty-four while his youngest brother Rolf is twelve and hasn't even learned how to fight yet when the game starts. Oscar and his middle brother Boyd [[PromotionToParent basically raised Rolf themselves]] after Rolf's mother (Oscar and Boyd's stepmother) ran off and their father died of an illness.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'', one of the main characters, Micaiah, was [[VagueAge either an infant or a toddler]] during the Serenes Massacre 23 years before the start of the game, and finds out late in the game that [[spoiler:The Empress of Begnion, Sanaki, is her younger sister. Sanaki is 13 years old.]]
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', Seteth is an adult and an official at the Garreg Mach monastery, while his younger sister Flayn is young enough to be a student. [[spoiler:In reality, the two are father and daughter, but Seteth claims that they are siblings with a large age gap in order to conceal their identities.]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': Kratos once had a daughter called Calliope before being tricked into OffingTheOffspring by Ares. Centuries later, in the era of Myth/NorseMythology, he's raising a son called Atreus. Kratos himself would also likely be an example, given that his father is Zeus, [[ReallyGetsAround who's been siring gods and demigods]] for thousands of years.
* Elli the nurse in ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature'' is a young woman of marriageable age. Her younger brother Stu looks about 5-6 at most.
* While the characters' ages in ''VideoGame/HarvestTown'' aren't specified, the age gap between Sherry Allen (a working young adult) and her brother Jerry (an elementary schooler) is ''very'' obvious, especially when compared to the other sibling pairs in the game.
* This is revealed to be the case in ''VideoGame/HeroOfTheKingdom II'' when the hero learns that [[spoiler:the pirate captain Black Rose is his own long-lost older brother. The brother, whose real name is not given, left home at the age of 12 to earn money to support the family; the hero at that time was only three. Their younger sister had not yet been born, so this trope is in play for her and the oldest brother, who is at least a dozen years older than she is.]]
* ''VisualNovel/HighwayBlossoms''
** Tess is eleven (turning twelve in ''[[DownloadableContent Next Exit]]''), while her sister Mariah is old enough to drink, and thus probably at least 21. Mariah implies that she and Tess are half-siblings with the same mother.
** Marina, who's 18, has a five-year-old younger brother, meaning that there's a 13-year age gap between those two. Since Marina's only the middle of [[MassiveNumberedSiblings nine siblings]], there's presumably a much larger age gap between her youngest and eldest siblings.
* ''Videogame/TheLastOfUs'': Henry and Sam. Henry is 25, and Sam is around twelve or so. Given the post-apocalyptic setting and the fact that they don't look much alike, it's possible that they're actually half-brothers (something that Henry's voice actor [[WordOfSaintPaul has suggested]]) or blood-brothers. Either way, they are on their own and Henry is Sam's caretaker, with this gap in age resulting in Henry being overprotective to the point where he doesn't teach Sam how to defend himself, unlike how Joel did with Ellie. This comes back to bite him [[spoiler:(literally), when Sam is bitten and infected, resulting in Henry having to MercyKill him, then [[DrivenToSuicide turning the gun on himself]] in despair.]]
* ''VideoGame/LaterAlligator'':
** Pat and his brother Lorenzo are in their twenties, while their sister Angelface is an infant.
** Skids Valentino is 11, while his twin older siblings are 25.
* Implied in ''Franchise/MassEffect''. Liara T'soni begins the series at the age of 106, "barely more than a child" by [[LongLived asari]] standards. Liara's father, another [[OneGenderRace asari]], also states that she had at least one other daughter prior to her relationship with Liara's mother. Since Liara's parents were together for more than a century, and Liara was born after her parents had broken up, this means that when Liara was born, her half-sister was at least as old as Liara is during the series. Given their shared parent's advanced age, as an asari Matriarch, it's likely the difference is even greater than that.
* In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Kou Ichijo was adopted into the Ichijo family due to their being unable to have a child until they finally succeeded. At the start of the game, Kou is a second-year in high school, and thus about 16, while his sister is two.
* In ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'', crew member Polly's husband Robinson has been missing for twenty years, with Polly raising their daughter Anne alone for all that time. If Robinson is recruited, his entry in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue notes that he and Polly go on to have ten more children, all of whom are obviously ''much'' younger than their sister Anne.
* Implied in ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons2014'', where it's mentioned that Iris (one of the bachelorettes) had a PromotionToParent for her younger brother Mistel after their parents died. It's not clear how old either of them are exactly, but it's implied that Iris is around the same age as her good friend Klaus, who is in his thirties; Mistel is old enough for marriage so he's presumably in his late teens or maybe early twenties.
* In ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'', nineteen-year-old Hawkeye's two best friends are Eagle and Jessica, who are around the same age. The prequel, ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMana'', reveals that Eagle and Jessica are the much younger half-siblings of Hawkeye's mother, Falcon. Only Flamekhan, who is Hawkeye's grandfather and Falcon, Eagle, and Jessica's father, is aware of this.
