** A cutscene near the end of ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Kingdom Hearts Union X]]'' explains that while the previously-established rules of time travel hold true, the actual process of time travel only requires two things: someone with memories of you at your destination, and a medium that their heart can reside in. Normally the medium would be a body or Replica body, but [[spoiler:the Master of Masters, who set up Luxu with the No Name to allow himself to time travel into the future, intends to use his own eye embedded into the No Name as a medium]]. Later, it is revealed that there exists a second method to time travel without the previously-mentioned hassles, that being the Ark, a device that can send someone through time and space. However, that method has its own drawbacks, namely that the subjects will not now what time or place they will be sent into. [[spoiler:This is how Ventus, Lauriam (Marluxia's Somebody), and Elrena (Larxene's Somebody) manage to exist in the present-day timeline, by taking three of the five available pods. There were originally seven pods, but one was used by Maleficent to travel back to her time after she ended up being trapped in the data world while messing around with time travel, while another was used by Luxu to send Strelitzia to Quadratum (a place previously thought to be impossible because it exists in "unreality"). After the Darkness is sealed, Ephemer and Skuld use the pods to escape the data world, but they (or at least Ephemer does; [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse no one knows what Skuld is up to]]) elect to stay in the past to rebuild Daybreak Town. It's highly implied that the Foretellers previously used the pods to escape the Keyblade War, as they mysteriously disappeared during the event, only to pop up years later to meet with Luxu following the events of ''III''.]]

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', [[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone Merlin]] was able to create a door that led into a world based on WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts such as ''Steamboat Willie''. This is very strange considering that it breaks nearly every rule of time travel established in the later ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', leading fans to wonder whether that door was actually time travel or something else entirely.
** Also in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Pete's sheer nostalgia for the good old days when he was just a boat captain somehow opens a portal into Disney Castle's past. Unfortunately, his actions weaken the Castle's protection in the present, allowing Maleficent and TheHeartless to invade. [[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone Merlin]] conjures the protagonists a magic door that lets them follow Pete and enter "Timeless River", a level-wide homage to early Disney. Everything is DeliberatelyMonochrome, and the present-day characters (except present Pete, who actually interacts with his past self) find themselves in their old outfits. Time travel isn't brought up again until ''3D'', where it's crucial to the plot of the entire game.
** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' [[ImpliedTrope implies]] that the [[{{Superboss}} Unknown]] is a time traveler. It has a strange entrance where it just fades into existence instead of appearing using a Corridor of Darkness, utilizes a technique that rewinds time to undo a powerful attack inflicted onto it, and the prize for beating it being a Keyblade with a clock motif. [[spoiler:''3D: Dream Drop Distance'' confirms that this is true, as it's Xehanort from the past.]]
** ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' establishes that time travel is possible, but rather difficult. There needs to be a version of yourself present at the time and place you wish to travel to, and [[spoiler:you must give up your body in order to actually make the journey]]. Furthermore, it's a case of YouAlreadyChangedThePast: anything you do in the past has already happened and cannot happen a different way. And if you're brought ''forward'' in time to the future, you will forget everything you did while time travelling when you return to the past. [[spoiler:Xehanort is revealed to be using time travel, facilitated by his younger self, to bring various versions of himself together to fulfill the "XIII Seekers of Darkness" requirement he needs to achieve his goals. As a result, we have Master Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (aka Xehanort's Heartless), and Xemnas, all working together, having been pulled from their respective times to do so.]]
** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' has [[BigBad Master Xehanort]] use this to fill out the ranks of the Real Organization XIII. Aside from himself, [[spoiler:Terra-Xehanort]], and five returning members from the previous iteration of the Organization are all members who exist in the present, five of the members [[spoiler: Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort, Vanitas, and Dark Riku (the Riku Replica from ''Chain of Memories'') return in Replica Bodies, the former three are versions of himself from the past serve as his CoDragons, which means that they can come forward into the future from before they were defeated since he's there]], the last member, [[spoiler:Xion]] also uses a Replica body, which essentially means they came BackFromTheDead.

* In ''VideoGame/OuterWilds'', the [[{{Precursors}} Nomai]] noticed something odd about the logs from their [[PortalNetwork teleportation network]] - users were arriving at their destination a fraction of a fraction of a second ''before'' they departed. This led to an experiment in their High Energy Lab on Ember Twin that confirmed a "negative time interval" when warping through black and white holes, and made the Nomai wonder what they could accomplish if they poured more energy into the process. Long story short, [[spoiler:they set up the Ash Twin Project, in which the power of an [[StarKilling exploding sun]] would be used to send information back in time 22 minutes, allowing the Nomai to run a [[GroundhogDayLoop time loop]] in which a space probe would be fired on a random heading, repeating millions and millions of times until they found the fabled Eye of the Universe.
