* The [[Film/BladeRunner Tyrell Corp]] HQ is one of the default building options in OASIS, in ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne''. Because of that, copies o it are all over the place. [[spoiler: And they all can house the Second Gate.]]

* [[MadArtist Mad architect]] Jean-Claude D'Aubainne built the [[TabletopGame/OverTheEdge Al-Amarja]] airport building in the shape of a cone ... ''balanced on its point''. It's the first sight immigrants see, so it ''has'' to be one of the most intimidating buildings on the island. [[spoiler: It's also a total con. The elevators operate in reverse, and the actual building is underground. The pyramid is an empty shell.]]

* One of the levels in Creator/DataEast's ''Chelnov: Atomic Runner'' features in the background a cyborg Sphinx and moving pyramids gliding over the sand dunes.

* The Tyrell Corp. HQ is one of the default building options in OASIS, in ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne''. Because of that, copies o it are all over the place. [[spoiler: And they all can house the Second Gate.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'':

** Arcturus Mengsk's imperial palace, as seen in his inauguration in ''{{Starcraft}}'' and throughout ''Heart of the Swarm'', is a giant pyramid, which stands out very distinctly against Augustgrad's mostly traditional skyline.

* In Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's Literature/VorkosiganSaga novel, ''Cryoburn'', one of the largest cryogenic companies on the planet Kibou-daini is [=NewEgypt=]. Their cryo-storage facilities (where they keep the frozen bodies of people who were hoping to be revived, when there's a cure for whatever was killing them) are all in pyramid shaped buildings, and all their corporate branding follows an Egyptian theme. (They've trademarked the entire historical era, to block imitators.)

* Feature prominently in the Colus/Hagooda War arc in ''TheFiveStarStories'' as both factions have palaces resembling them, Hagooda's being Egyptian-styled while Colus' is a slightly more abstract combination of a Mayan one, a Japanese pagoda and futuristic arcology concept design.

* ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} of ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' is fond of pyramid motifs, which makes sense as he was born in Egypt a few thousand years ago.

* In ''[[VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004 Unreal Tournament 2003]]'', the Anubans (or Nakhti, as they are called [[VideoGame/UnrealChampionship2TheLiandriConflict later]]), who are basically space Egyptians, are fond of these. One of the most prominent Futuristic Pyramids can be found in the map CTF-Face3.

** In ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman'', the Jetmen's base, the Sky Camp, is a smaller one which houses most of the mecha inside it (the Bird Garuda is perched atop it instead).

* Mental Institution level of ''SeriousSam II'' is a large futuristic pyramid on treads and plenty of weapons and reinforcements.

* Microwave Mountain in ''RogueTrooper'', originally a giant solar power plant, now a Nort stronghold. Shaped like a pyramid, for no real reason.

* The city of Adrianopolis (and possibly others in the World Union) in ''CulpaInnata'' features a gleaming pyramid at the center, which has clubs, restaurants, bars, stores, etc.

** ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic'', episode "Lost Planet of the Gods" part 2. The planet Kobol has pyramids, the remains of an ancient civilization. Caprica also had pyramidal buildings.
** ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined'' has [[http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/designing-for-sci-fi/ Gemenon]], which had mostly pyramidal buildings.
