History TitleDrop / Videogames

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' has a title drop, but if you play only the first game you wouldn't know it, since the term only shows up in the lead-up to the final battle of the second game. The Golden Sun is in fact a giant golden mass of Psynergy that is formed by the power of all four lighthouses converging over Mt. Aleph, [[spoiler: signalling the return of Alchemy to the world.]]

* The in-game radio in the ''Fallout'' games mostly has songs with lyrics referencing the end of the world, either literally or metaphorically. One of songs in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is "Crawl Out Through the Fallout".
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas:'' Several of the DLC have this:
** In ''Dead Money'', the default apparel is the Dead Money Jumpsuit and the [[ExplosiveLeash Dead Money Collar.]]
** The main quest in ''Old World Blues'' is called "Old World Blues," but the phrase doesn't get a proper explanation until the end:
---> There is an expression in the Wasteland: "Old World Blues". It refers to those so obsessed with the past they can't see the present, even less the future, for what it is.
** In the dialog box just before starting ''Lonesome Road,'' the option to go ahead says "Walk the Lonesome Road." Also, the phrase "Lonesome Road" is sprayed on a wall in one of the first areas, and the Lonesome Road perk is awarded at the end.

--->[[spoiler:'''Ultimalius''': The world you seek is but a fantasy!]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Clive''': The only fantasy here is yours. And we shall be its final witness!]]

* ''VideoGame/GloryOfHeracles'' was title dropped by one of the playable characters, Heracles, who muses that great muscles means nothing to the 'glory of Heracles'.

* ''VideoGame/NotForBroadcast'': In [[WhamEpisode Day 296: The Heatwave]], [[spoiler:Jeremy Donaldson]] delivers one if [[FeaturelessProtagonist Alex Winston]] [[spoiler:refuses to play the Disrupt tape]]:

* ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}} 4: The Captain's Return'' has two instances of this. First, when [[spoiler:the Prototypes]] capture Kayto Shields, their leader proclaims--in English--that the moment they've been waiting for is finally upon them: The Captain's Return! Then at the very end of the game, [[spoiler:Veniczar Fontana begrudgingly declares that Kayto is "the Sunrider" after Kayto pulls off an impossible victory and escapes from Fontana's forces via a risky SpaceshipSlingshotStunt]].

--> '''Uriel Septim''': ''"Rest well this night... for tomorrow, you set sail... for the kingdom of '''DAGGERFALL'''!"''

-->"We shall journey on the road that continues... to the Final Fantasy."

-->'''Edea''': You and me. Together, we'll bring about this final fantasy.

-->'''Lightning''': I guess this... is my final fantasy.

--> '''Liu Kang:''' ''Face me in '''Mortal Kombat'''.''

-->'''Narrator:''' This is Travis Touchdown's ''desperate struggle''.\\

--> '''Sonic:''' What you see is what you get -- just a guy [[ThrillSeeker who loves adventure]]!

--->'''Metal Sonic:''' It's no use... why can't I defeat you...?\\

::Metal Sonic then promptly faints/powers down, possibly due to being beaten, but one must wonder if it was because of that title drop...

-->'''Ken''': Who are you? Do you know the art of fighting?

* In ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'', when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TLJb9NZN0I the Wachowskis' avatars show up to explain they changed the ending for the benefit of the medium]], Larry summarizes the original ending from the movie in an increasingly sped-up voice. This is what he says normally:
-->'''Larry Wachowski:''' You see, at this point in the story, Neo stands on the verge of satori; ready to resolve the paradox of choice and choicelessness; free will versus fate, but that can only be achieved through an act of surrender, which it occurs after his abandonment of the perspectile nature of truth, accepting the totality of present consciousness which ultimately allows an evolutionary transition; transcending the Cartesian dilemma through emergence of de-limited spirit which then provides the world with a third path, the ''Path of Neo'', the path to peace.

* The final map of the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' GameMod ''Hell Revealed'' is named... wait for it... Hell Revealed.[[note]]Game mods absolutely ''love'' this.[[/note]]
** Other mods which do this include: ''Hellcore'', ''Hadephobia'', ''No End In Sight'', ''Ancient Aliens''.
** Played with in TNT: Evilution (one half of ''Final Doom''); many of the crates have TNT written on them despite not being volatile.
** Likewise in ''VideoGame/Doom64'', where its final level is a title drop to its WorkingTitle, ''The Absolution''.

** "Look at all these lawless people! VideoGame/AnarchyReigns!"

* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}} 2: Lunatea's Veil'' has one, delivered by [[spoiler: the King of Sorrow]] just before the FinalBoss battle:

-->'''[[spoiler: King of Sorrow]]''': So I used the ark to lift Lunatea's Veil. All so that you could save the Kingdom of Sorrow. So that Lunatea can once again remember...

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': Dante's demon-hunting business/shop, "Devil May Cry", shares its name with the series title. As the phrase also serves as the protagonist devil hunters' first reply to their customers' phone calls, expect to hear the series title being said a lot. There are also installment-specific examples and variants of this phrase:

* Dante's demon-hunting business in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' shares its name with the game.
** And there's a more direct title drop in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening the third game]], which explains that Dante named the shop after a line spoken by Lady at the end of the game during a SandInMyEyes moment, telling him that even a demon might cry over [[spoiler:his brother (seemingly) dying.]]
** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' has another one, in Nero's battle theme. The last lyric before the song repeats is "I make the angel scream, and the Devil '''CRY'''!"

* In ''[[VideoGame/GalaxyAngel Galaxy Angel: Eternal Lovers]]'', Tact accepts that he has, for better or worse, become TheCaptain of the Moon Angels, and they're off to save the galaxy again...so they really shouldn't be named after the White Moon any more. They then adopt the name "Galaxy Angels". However, they're back to "Moon Angels" by ''Galaxy Angel II''. This makes sense, as they're now OlderAndWiser and no longer the main heroines. Whether the Rune Angels will do a similar title drop in future games is yet to be seen.

* At the end of ''[[VideoGame/RainbowSix Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield]]'' it is explained that the BigBad was like a raven picking the bones of an old war and the other BigBad his shield protecting him until his children were ready to fly.

* Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} gets ''this'' close to doing this in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', but obviously, the game's WordSaladTitle renders it impossible. [[DownplayedTrope It's still very clearly the intention]], however:

* ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'':
** The phrase "Sonic Heroes" was apparently rammed into the game of the same name for no reason. Both Sonic and Eggman use it to describe Team Sonic, but it also appears in Team Chaotix's theme song, meaning that it might describe all the main characters... even though they have completely different reasons for fighting Eggman and actually fight each other every so often.
** In the same game, Sonic's explanation to Metal Sonic as to why he lost to them:

** It's the very last line of the game, too. "Yeah! We're SONIC HEROES!" Even in the Japanese version, Sonic still says "We are Sonic Heroes!" in GratuitousEnglish.

* In ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' ([[BlindIdiotTranslation the original version]] and UsefulNotes/WiiWare remake), the password to the hideout in Plantation is a [[AC:TitleDrop]] [[SdrawkcabName backwards]].
