* Sort-of in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfTianding''. Said game was based on a ([[AdaptationDisplacement very obscure]]) 2004 Flash game where the JustLikeRobinHood protagonist, Tian-ding, survives in its sole ending. The remake has a BittersweetEnding where [[spoiler:Tian-ding was killed by one of his allies after being mistaken for one of the LesCollaborateurs, literally ''seconds'' after killing the BigBad]], and a secret GoodEnding where [[spoiler:Tian-ding was saved by a PocketProtector and eventually cleared his name in the aftermath]].

* Interesting case with ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. When the game was [[VideoGameRemake ported to PS2]], the original ending was changed into one where Hanyuu gets KilledOffForReal. Other adaptations used the original ending. Curiously, the author claims that the UsefulNotes/{{P|layStation2}}S2 ending is the "True" ending while the "normal" ending is the "Good" ending. This is probably because traditional, route-based Visual Novels frequently have two endings to each route (aside from bad ends). The True ending is typically bittersweet, while the Good ending ensures everyone lives happily ever after. It's not to do with one being canon, as the [=PS2=] ending certainly isn't.

* In the Nintendo UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye|Wii}}'', Zukovsky is killed less than a minute after Bond meets him, instead of living until ''The World is Not Enough'' like he does in the films.

* The ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots]]'' novelization reveals that Solid Snake lived long enough to raise Sunny into adulthood and gave her away at her wedding before dying peacefully. The original game left Solid Snake's final fate ambiguous.

* In ''VideoGame/LegoStarWars: The Video Game'' and ''The Complete Saga'', Commander Cody fights General Grievous along with Obi-Wan and is killed, rather than surviving to order Obi-Wan's death under Order 66 in ''VideoGame/RevengeOfTheSith''. Averted in ''The Skywalker Saga'', where the latter events happen as in canon.
