* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor'': In the first game, your [=OSS=] liaison Manon says that her brother Jacques died performing a HeroicSacrifice to save children from a school rigged with explosives; in the sequel ''Underground'' which has you playing as Manon, Jacques dies driving a truck filled with explosives in an ambush leaving the school, the Germans using the school as a supply storage to lay a trap for Resistance members.

*** Additionally, Master Chief was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally intended]] to be a {{cyborg}} that was more machine than man with Mark V being his model. However, ''Fall of Reach'' established the [[SuperSoldier SPARTAN-II Program]] which is supposed to be so top secret that no more than half a dozen people galaxy-wide know enough about the Spartans to identify specific models of Spartan-specific gear, let alone knowing anything more about the Spartans other than that they're big guys in PoweredArmor. However, as a result of the old lore ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'' has regular grunts pointing Chief's armor out as the Mark V version which is ''beyond'' classified.

Not *all* life on Azeroth was created by the Titans. Some of them were elementals that evolved into flesh-and-blood creatures.


** ''Literature/WorldOfWarcraftChronicle'' was written to clarify a lot of the Snarl, especially ones related to the Titans/Old Gods, which include writing off the Tribunal of Ages as a [[UnreliableNarrator forgery]] and giving all life on Azeroth a titanic origin.

A lot of the Sargeras section wasn't really an example, as most of the retcons to his history (outside of his involvement with the eredar) were more about further clarifying his motivations rather than fixing conflicting plot points.


** The draenei retcon was fairly minor in terms of effects to storyline (the draenei didn't have much involvement in it before), although it did retcon the background of Sargeras somewhat. To make matters confusing there are actually two new explanations for his corruption: one being the same as the old one but with the eredar replaced with demons in general, and the other being that he just came to perceive the universe as flawed, with no mention of demonic corruption. Nobody is quite sure which is canon, although the evidence would lean towards the latter one. Years later, demons in general are confirmed to pre-date Sargeras' corruption once again, though it varies by race. ''Warcraft Chronicle'' ended up complicating things even further by saying that ''neither'' explanation is really true. According to the new explanation, the true cause of his corruption was the horror of learning that a newly-introduced force called the Void Gods is trying to exterminate all life in the universe and that there's nothing that can be done to stop them.

Nobody is quite sure which is canon, although Post-retcon, things are reversed: Sargeras becomes evil before ever meeting the evidence would lean towards eredar, the latter one. Years later, eredar aren't demonic, and Sargeras corrupts the eredar into becoming demons (with some of them escaping and becoming the draenei). Luckily, solving this issue was as simple as saying that demons in general are confirmed contributed to pre-date Sargeras' corruption once again, though it varies by race. ''Warcraft Chronicle'' ended up complicating things even further by saying that ''neither'' fall rather than the eredar specifically (this explanation is really true. According itself would be subject to more retcons later, but that's beyond the new explanation, the true cause scope of his corruption was the horror of learning that a newly-introduced force called the Void Gods is trying to exterminate all life in the universe and that there's nothing that can be done to stop them.this example).

** How old Schezo is. WordOfGod on where ''Madou Monogatari ARS'' is in the timeline puts him at least somewhere in the hundreds of years range, around 180. In ''Madou Monogatari Saturn'' Schezo's so old he's forgotten to count, but admits he's somewhere above 50. In the ''Puyo'' universe, Schezo's age is never questioned, but he's never treated as much older than the rest of the cast. There's also WordOfGod that the cast of the ''Puyo'' timeline can't age and are cursed to prevent them from thinking about the passing of time, but that contradicts Schezo knowing he's at least in his 50s in ''Saturn'', which is spelled out as taking place in the ''Puyo'' timeline. Witch is also brought into the Snarl; her presence in ''ARS'' implies she's at least as old as Schezo, but official character profiles in various games list her being anywhere from 13 to 15.

* ''VideoGame/MadouMonogatari'':
** How the Puyo Puyo and Madou Monogatari universes connect to one another is a mystery, given both worlds contain the same characters but seem to ignore the events of one another. Most of SEGA's continuity has set the games in other universes altogether to ignore the issue.
