** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', three of Sora's four [[SuperMode Drive Forms]] allow him to wield two Keyblades at once. Interestingly, he goes from having one in each hand, to magically controlling one while manually using the other, to magically controlling both. And in the Roxas fight in ''Final Mix'', Sora can steal both of Roxas's Keyblades, allowing him to Tri Wield. And while it doesn't seem possible for Sora to Dual Wield at all without an explosive clothing transformation first, since Roxas can do it naturally, more or less, Sora also has the potential, according to [[WordOfGod Nomura]], who thought it would have been cooler as a special treat.

* ''VideoGame/Ashes2063'': [[PlayerCharacter Scav]] can wield either the crowbar or a handgun alongside his Solar Lantern, the only way he has of seeing in the dark. This can also be done with the [[MoreDakka Machine Pistol]], but it's very hard to control its recoil firing it one-handed, even when it's fully upgraded.

* In ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'', one of the books your character can come across is a ThudAndBlunder novel starring a BarbarianHero who dual-wields [[OneHandedZweihander zweihanders]]. With good ranks in certain skills, your internal monologue can grumpily inform you that whoever wrote these books must have no knowledge or experience whatsoever of swordfighting, to say nothing of dual-wielded two-handed swordfighting.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', it's utterly ''broken''...and probably explains why usually only Ninjas or certain characters can Dual-Wield in future games. (With a few exceptions). Just about ''every single weapon'' in the game can be dual-wielded...sure, with fists it makes sense, and knives and swords, but characters will eventually start getting ''insane'' amounts of hits with bells, books, staves, and even spears. Yes, even ''staves and spears'' can be dual-wielded.
