History TheMultiverse / VideoGames

** Hydaelyn, the world of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', seems to be a veritable hotspot for wanderers through the multiverse to wind up; so far we have [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Gilgamesh]] (naturally), [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Ultros and Typhon]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], [[VideoGame/DragonQuestX Brick Golems]], [[Franchise/YokaiWatch various Yokai]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Iroha]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]], and [[VideoGameFinalFantasyXVI Clive]]. For the most part, they have no actual bearing on the plot and may not be canon, but Iroha at least seems to be sticking around instead of returning to her [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseHow non-existent]] alternate timeline on Vana'diel]], while Gilgamesh, Ultros, and Typhon are not part of crossover events and instead are recurring characters in side story content.

** Taken [[SerialEscalation even further]] with ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' since the game's setting, is not only connected to every single ''Fire Emblem'' universe known [[VideoGameLongRunners so far]], from Archanea to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Fódlan]] and even to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Elyos]] and [[VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE a version of Tokyo]], it also doubles down on the idea of there being infinite timelines. The explanation of why a player can have multiple versions of the same character, not just as different alts of the character, but multiples of the same unit, is because each unit is summoned from an alternate universe. Not only that, but the game also has its own universe known as [[Myth/NorseMythology The Nine Realms]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}}'' features the Multiverse, both as a story element and gameplay feature.

** The Multiverse is featured as a gameplay mode: presented as Batman's "Brother Eye" surveillance network monitoring dimensional anomalies created in the wake of Batman having summoned an alternate universe's heroes in [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs the previous game]]. In a similar vein to the Living Towers of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', parallel Earths in this game's Multiverse mode change from hour by hour, day by day, and week by week, offering different rewards for saving them. The game's resident Ladder Mode is said to take place in a dimension that is stuck in a StableTimeLoop, justifying its MultipleEndings for each character.

* According to WordOfGod, there are at least three timelines in the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series, starting in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. The Adult Timeline has [[TheHero Link]] defeating [[BigBad Ganondorf]] and returning to the past. The Child Timeline begins when Link completes this trip, allowing him to prevent Ganondorf from coming to power. The Fallen Hero timeline was created by an alternate version of Link [[TheBadGuyWins losing to Ganondorf]]. ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' features a ''fourth'' timeline, where [[BigBad Cia]] opens portals to the other timelines. ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'' is revealed [[spoiler: to be a timeline where the Great Calamity is prevented]].

* One of the largest ''Main/MultiUserDungeon''s in existence, with thousands of pages of content spanning 20 years, ''Roleplay/TheMultiverse'' , takes place in a Multiversal setting which inspires much of the content.

* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' has so far taken place in several alternate dimensions in the mainline games: The [[RetGone retgone'd first game's dimension]], the current canon "Hyperdimension" used in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2'', ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Victory]]'', and ''VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII'', the Ultradimension featured in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Victory]]'', and finally the two new dimensions featured in ''[[VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII V II]]'' called the Zero and Heart Dimensions for a total of five. And that's not even getting to the remakes, the spinoffs, the manga, and the anime.
* The ''VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite'' series. The world of every Nicktoon show is actually a dimension in the Nicktoon multiverse.

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' shows that there are various ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' continuities that are connected through the Amala Universe. A scene in ''Videogame/DevilSummoner'', which happens after the protagonist is killed by the BigBad Sid Davis, shows that there are multiple, possible infinite or uncountably infinite universes or maybe even multiverses that exist separately from the Amala Universe. ''VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsTheSoullessArmy'' and ''VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsKingAbaddon'' show the existence of the Akarana Corridor, a tunnel linking several times and realities, further confirmed in ''VideoGame/SoulHackers''. The Yamato Perpetual Reactor in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' links at least three parallel worlds (Firmament Tokyo, Blasted Tokyo, Infernal Tokyo) together through the Reactor Room in Camp Ichigaya. It is also speculated by fans that the Multiverse in the ''Videogame/LastBible'' spin off series is also different from the other ones, and that ''Videogame/Persona3'', ''Videogame/Persona4'' and ''Videogame/Persona5'' are situated in another multiverse, though this has been debated.

** Fangame ''VideoGame/TouhouLostWord'' has this as its premise. The characters travel between universes to prevent them from collapsing.

** [[AdaptationExpansion As attested by]] ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' and ''VideoGame/StrangerOfParadiseFinalFantasyOrigin'', the [[{{Precursors}} Lufenians]] of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI the original game]] -- or at least some of them -- [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence became a trans-dimensional race]], setting off the events of those particular games in some fashion. According to ''Stranger of Paradise'', most of the locales seen in ''FFI'' are in fact [[PatchworkWorld based on]] places from other dimensions -- the numbered installments up to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' -- the Lufenians had been observing and studying, retroactively implying their presence in the background of multiple other games.

* In ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', Elizabeth is able to open "tears" in the fabric of reality, which are open windows to parallel realities. One example is a 1980s street in front of a cinema where ''[[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Revenge of the Jedi]]'' is played.

** One of the [[spoiler: Elizabeths in the ending is the beta model used in the early gameplay demos.]] This means that all of the DummiedOut content like Saltonstall and the incidents like saving the mailman from the Vox Populi could be a sort of quasi-canon, taking place in alternate versions of Columbia with alternate Bookers.

* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' has Portal Corp., a company dedicated to exploring other dimensions. There are several individual missions and arcs where you get to deal with hostile other-dimensional entities, either after they've entered Paragon or at their source. The current state of the CityOfAdventure can be traced back to a massive invasion from AnotherDimension.

* ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'': After beating the game under all 3 ancients you find out that the other ancients (the ones that you beat in the previous two playthroughs) [[spoiler:were killed by the main character's counterparts in other, parallel universes. Mantorok then overlaps the three realities, killing all three ancients concurrently and leaving the universe free of them forever.]]
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' in general is strongly hinted to take place in a multiverse, with each game (barring a couple exceptions like direct sequels that take place in the same world) taking place in parallel universes. It hasn't been officially confirmed, but every ''Final Fantasy'' game has its own version of Cid, Biggs, Wedge, Chocobos, summons (Ifrit, Leviathan, Bahamut, etc), and the worlds they take place in seem to be similar, and yet different at the same time.
** Though not officially stated, the Rift from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' seems to be a wall separating all the various universes of the ''Final Fantasy'' games. Only Gilgamesh has been shown to be able to get around it freely so far. After his banishment there by Exdeath, and his subsequent HeroicSacrifice against Necrophobe, [[DimensionalTraveler he sets off on a quest]] to collect rare weapons, appearing in the worlds of ''Final Fantasies'' ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI I]]'' (remake), ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears IV]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI VI]]'' (remake), ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII VIII]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX IX]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII XII]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV XIV]]''. At some point, he also manages to find his way into [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy the conflict between the gods Cosmos and Chaos]], and is overjoyed to find Bartz there, having been itching to get a rematch against him. Unfortunately, Bartz has only the faintest of memories of his home world in this continuity, making ol' Gilgamesh an UnknownRival to him.
** Hydaelyn, the world of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', seems to be a veritable hotspot for wanderers through the multiverse to wind up; so far we have [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Gilgamesh]] (naturally), [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Ultros and Typhon]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], [[VideoGame/DragonQuestX Brick Golems]], [[Franchise/YokaiWatch Various Yokai]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Iroha]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]]. For the most part, they have no actual bearing on the plot and may not be canon, but Iroha at least seems to be sticking around instead of returning to her [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseHow non-existent]] alternate timeline on Vana'diel]], while Gilgamesh, Ultros and Typhon are not part of cross over events and are recurring characters in side story content.
*** That said, these events often are quasi-canon to the other side of the cross over. Lightning is sent to Hydaelyn to train and in Lightning Returns she can find a Miqo'te's tradional outfit as well as weaponry branded with the seals of the Grand Companies. Noctis's cross over actually begins in his world where a Miqo'te woman, Y'jhimei, travels to Eos and accidentally brings along a group of Ixali who summon the ''XIV'' version of Garuda, forcing Noctis and Co. to stop her. At the end of the fight, the ''XV'' version of Garuda appears and finishes her off, and in the confusion the two of them disappear. This is where the other side begins and Noctis teams up with the Warrior of Light to defeat the rampaging ''XV'' Garuda, before returning home where the new Garuda joins him as one of his summons.
*** The Multiverse actually plays a massive role in the expansion ''Shadowbringers''. [[spoiler:The world of Hydaelyn, as players knew it up to this point, is actually The Source, the location of a single ''whole'' world before the battle between the summoned gods Hydaelyn and Zodiark split it and its inhabitants into fourteen parallel dimensions, including the Source. ''Shadowbringers'', itself, takes place in the First, one of these parallel dimensions. The region of Norvrandt, where the expansion takes place, is analogous to Eorzea, the primary setting of most of the game's story, and its people are the same as those found in the Source, albeit with the history of the First playing out in a different way from the Source, leading to different names for the races of the First (Elves in the First vs. Elezen in the Source, for example) and even different cultural norms (the Dwarves of the First are considered a beast tribe, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman even though they are practically the exact same people as the Lalafell of the Source]]).]]
** The Interdimensional Rift from ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV V]]'' also makes an appearance in ''XIV''. [[spoiler:It is where Omega ends up following its battle with Shinryu. It resides here to perform experiments to determine the ultimate life form and defeat it itself to gain an insight into the innate strength of life. While it's clear that the beings the player faces there (such as Exdeath, Chaos and Kefka) are created by Omega, it's purposely vague about whether said beings are based on real beings from other worlds or based on old myths Omega has encountered (Or both).]]

** Taken [[SerialEscalation even further]] with ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' since the game's setting, is not only connected to every single ''Fire Emblem'' universe known [[VideoGameLongRunners so far]], from Archanea to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Fódlan]] and even to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Elyos]] and a version of [[VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE Tokyo]], it also doubles down on the idea of there being infinite timelines. The explanation of why a player can have multiple versions of the same character, not just as different alts of the character, but multiples of the same unit, is because each unit is summoned from an alternate universe. Not only that, but the game also has its own universe known as [[Myth/NorseMythology The Nine Realms]].

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' reveals that the ''Paper Mario'' games take place in an alternate universe from the ''Mario and Luigi'' games/the rest of the ''Mario'' franchise, accessible through a book in Peach's Castle.

** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'' confirms in the [[PostEndGameContent Delta Episode]] that, at the very least, the mainline games exist within their own multiverse. This game specifically has Zinnia discuss two different realities: their own timeline and one where Mega Evolution was never discovered (as a result of [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY AZ's ultimate weapon]] ''not'' firing three millennia prior]]), which is the universe where the original ''Pokémon'' games up to ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2 Black 2 and White 2]]'' take place.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' goes a step further in its own post-game subplot. Salon Maiden Anabel from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Emerald]]'' appears in an extensive role, only it's heavily implied to be the original timeline incarnation of said character. They're established to be a "Faller," a person who has inadvertently traveled through an Ultra Wormhole due to emitting a strange energy that attracts [[EldritchAbomination Ultra Beasts]], extradimensional Pokémon hailing from [[EldritchLocation Ultra Space]], coming out the other side [[TrappedInAnotherWorld now stuck in this new dimension]] and with [[LaserGuidedAmnesia few memories of their previous life]]. While not through the same exact methods, a number of characters in following games (including [[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus the player character themselves]]) also end up having their own amensia-inducing trips through space-time that gets them stranded in other universes or time periods.

* In the Perpetual Testing Initiative DLC for ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', this is the ExcusePlot. Since Aperture Science is bankrupt, all test chamber construction has been outsourced to Apertures in other universes, which is then tested in and stolen back. The DLC comes with new Cave Johnson audio that gives us such gems as Space Prison Warden!Cave, Dark!Cave, and Hobo!Cave.
** As well as a universe filled up entirely with money. Two of them, in fact.

* ''VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsTheCosmicShake'' has the ''Jellyverse'' which has opened due to Neptune's royal jelly, which has 7 wish worlds. Those being [[TheWildWest Wild West Jellyfish Fields]], [[{{Studiopolis}} Karate Downtown Bikini Bottom]], [[GangplankGalleon Pirate Goo Lagoon]], [[BigBoosHaunt Halloween Rock Bottom]], [[{{Prehistoria}} Prehistoric Kelp Forest]], [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy Medieval Sulfur Fields]], [[spoiler:[[CircusOfFear Jelly Glove World]]]].

* In the ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'' ganes, this comes up several times as a central story mechanic. This is almost always paired with a machine called the Dimensionator, which can act as a sort of "dimensional search engine" and open up portals to them.

** Hydaelyn, the world of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', seems to be a veritable hotspot for wanderers through the multiverse to wind up; so far we have [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Gilgamesh]] (naturally), [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Ultros and Typhon]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lighting]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], [[VideoGame/DragonQuestX Brick Golems]], [[Franchise/YokaiWatch Various Yokai]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Iroha]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]].

* In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction'', the all-knowing (for the most part), IRIS Supercomputer mentions that existence is divided into infinite dimensions.

** It was thought that the different [[TheVerse 'verses]] all took place on separate worlds (the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Aka]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem neia]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Jug]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 dral]] games and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Gaiden]]'' aside), until ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' came along and introduced the concept of the Outrealm Gates linking different worlds together. In fact, it's also implied (particularly in ''Awakening''[='s=] "The Future Past" DLC) that [[spoiler:the TimeTravel present in ''Awakening''[='s=] main plot isn't really so much time traveling as much as it is dimension hopping]], further implying that ''every single playthrough'' of each game is equally canon.
** Taken [[SerialEscalation even further]] with ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' since the game's setting, the world of Zenith, is not only connected to every single ''Fire Emblem'' universe known [[VideoGameLongRunners so far]], from Akaneia to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Fódlan]], but even to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Elyos]] and a version of [[VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE Tokyo]]. It also doubles down on the idea of there being infinite timelines. The explanation of why a player can have multiple versions of the same character, not just as different alts of the character, but multiples of the same unit, is because each unit is summoned from an alternate universe.

** In the original game, ''Highly Responsive To Prayers'', Reimu has to close an [[HellGate open portal to Jigoku / Hell]].
** ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' features "scientists" who visit Gensokyo from an alternate dimension in order to "study [[BulletHell danmaku]]" using a "probability hyperdrive vessel".
** ''Lotus Land Story'' has Reimu and Marisa competing to fight their way into the world of dreams, where Kazami Yuuka resides. Reimu and Marisa also visit another dimension that isn't very well explained in the extra stage, just to beat up the creators for no reason at all.
** ''Mystic Square'' features the heroine of the player's choosing invading Makai, the world of demons.
** ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' features the Netherworld, and Hakugyokuro, land of restless spirits, and effective equivalent of Purgatory. It also has the legendary lost land of Mayohiga, home of the Yakumos.

** ''Imperishable Night'' has... the Moon. Turns out, there's an extremely different world underneath all that barrenness -- a highly advanced civilization hiding itself from the "impurities" of the Earth. Revisiting the Moon also becomes the objective in ''Silent Sinner in Blue''.
** ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' has the Sanzu no Kawa, a mythical, River Styx-like river that separates the land of the living from Higan, the land where the dead wait for their judgment, and, as a result, can wind up in Heaven, Hell, or get reincarnated.
** ''Subterranean Animism'' has the Hell of Blazing Fires lying in the cave networks beneath Gensokyo and the Earth in general, presumably in some sort of vague pocket dimension in the Earth's mantle that only appears in Gensokyo version Earth.
** ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' has Makai (although some debate as to whether it is the same Makai from before, there's some evidence that it is.) Byakuren was sealed within Makai for trying to unite humans and youkai (and getting hordes of racists on her ass), but is released thanks to the result of her followers' actions.
** ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'' has Hell (the one accessible via Higan) and the Animal Realm.
** Fangame VideoGame/TouhouLostWord has this as its premise. The characters travel between universes to prevent them from collapsing.

* In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank Future: Tools of Destruction'', the all-knowing (for the most part), IRIS Supercomputer mentions that existence is divided into infinite dimensions.
