I wasn't real close to my dad, and after my first internment at Arkham, we never spoke at all. Seems he wrote me off as a wacko. A loser. So, after I was released, I wanted to clear the air between us. Next Father's Day, I dropped by his place and suggested we go fishing. You ever go fishing with your pop? Well, it's some fun, let me tell ya. The two of us out on the water, pulling in one whopper after another... Of course, I was doing the actual pulling. Dad was baiting the hooks. You know, with a finger, a foot, an eye, whatever I had left of him. Even today, whenever I eat a nice piece of fish, I feel closer to my dear old dad.
* In ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'', Lady Arkham (a.k.a. [[spoiler:[[CanonCharacterAllAlong Vicki]] [[AdaptationalVillainy Vale]]]]) killed her [[AbusiveParents abusive foster parents]], and had a damn good time doing it too from how the crime scene looks.

* Deconstructed in the canon route of ''VideoGame/BlazeUnion'', where [[ButThouMust for practical and symbolic reasons, Gulcasa must kill his]] MissingMom, and she's the one who bullies him into doing it. He does not want to but kills her anyway because by that point he has no choice if he actually wants the power to protect his loved ones. She doesn't seem to hold it against him, but this event (among others) leaves him badly messed up for quite some time. Additionally, Route B, starring [[spoiler:Aegina. Ordene wouldn't have died if he hadn't refused treatment. Using Aegina for this is actually very practical, gameplay-wise, as [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Ordene will not use Crusade on her]].]]
* ''VideoGame/ChzoMythos'':
** It was said that [[EldritchAbomination Chzo]] has done this to his entire kind.
** On a lesser event, [[BigBad John DeFoe]] kills his father and repays his brother, Matthew, [[UngratefulBastard by killing him as well]].
* ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersUndying'': [[spoiler:Ambrose]] beats his father to death with a pool cue, tired of him meddling in his affairs.
* In ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' The [[spoiler:Warriors of Hope (Masaru, Kotoko, Jataro, Nagisa and Monaca)]] admit to [[KickTheSonOfABitch having murdered]] their AbusiveParents prior to the events of the game.
* In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', [[spoiler: Makoto states that as [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Remnants of Despair]], some of the cast murdered their own parents and other loved ones. [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool The anime]] confirms this was the case for [[TheEvilPrincess Sonia]] and [[TheDon Fuyuhiko]], at least.]]
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' has [[spoiler:Lady killing her father to avenge her mother's murder.]] Which doesn't count [[OffingTheOffspring the]] ''[[OffingTheOffspring other]]'' [[OffingTheOffspring thing he tried to do]]...
* [[spoiler:Adell]] in ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' is forced to MercyKill his BrainwashedAndCrazy blood-parents (by their own request) near the last few levels of the game, without even knowing who they are. What's worse is that it's heavily implied that his adoptive mother was planning to tell him who his birth parents were after the end of the game. Now ''that's'' going to be an uncomfortable conversation...
* ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland'' has a surprising example in [[spoiler: Brother Angelico, who seems like a gender inversion of the WhiteMagicianGirl but actually murdered his abusive father in a dissociative state, then the rest of his family, then continued as an AxCrazy SerialKiller who doesn't remember his crimes.]]
* In ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', [[spoiler:Wolfgang Krauser]] killed his father [[spoiler:in a DuelToTheDeath [[KlingonPromotion to become the Earl of Strolheim]].]] He honors his old man once a year by playing [[spoiler:the older Krauser]]'s favorite music in his organ.
* A tragic example in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is [[spoiler: Cait]]. As you come to know her, she’ll tell you that her parents abused her until she was old enough to be sold into slavery. She would pickpocket the raiders that owned her when they were asleep until she had enough to buy her freedom, then she tracked down her parents and murdered them.

Guado's father's statements in the sphere indicated that he accepted his fate fully as atonement for this sin.
* This can be done in many, ''many'' cases in ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' and its remake ''Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia'', [[spoiler:Emperor Rudolf's ZeroApprovalGambit to protect both Rigel and Zofia includes him being slain by LaResistance... which is led by his son Albein Alm Rudolf aka Alm, one of the protagonists. Alm, [[RagsToRoyalty who had been raised away in a village]], has no idea that his biggest enemy is his biological father: he only finds out during the climactic battle against Rudolf, and naturally ''[[HeroicBSOD he doesn't take it well]]''.]]
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'':
*** In the first half, King Chagall of Augustria and Duke Andrey of Jungby kill their fathers to ascend to their respective thrones. (The second earns the scorn of [[EvenEvilHasStandards his fellow conspirator Duke Lombard]] for that.) Also, for major VideoGameCrueltyPotential, in both halves the player can have some of their own units kill their {{Archnemesis Dad}}s: Tailtiu (daughter of Duke Reptor) and Lex (son of the aforementioned Duke Lombard) for the first part, either Iuchar or Iucharba (sons of King Danann) in the second.
*** In the second half, there's [[spoiler:the [[DemonicPossession Loptous!possessed! Prince Julius]] attacking his mother Deirdre ''and'' his younger sister Julia. WhiteMagicianGirl Deirdre manages to use her Warp staff to save Julia but isn't lucky enough herself, and she dies at Julius's hands.]]
** In the backstory of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', [[spoiler:after numerous attempts on his own life from [[OffingTheOffspring his father, King Desmond]], Prince Zephiel of Bern [[TheDogBitesBack decided to turn the tables]]. He faked his own death, then at his funeral, when Desmond opened the coffin to check on his son, Zephiel stabbed him dead on the spot.]]
** The BigBad of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Path of Radiance]]'', King Ashnard, is revealed to have killed not only his parents but his ''entire family''. He was pretty far back in the line of succession, so if he wanted to become king, some pruning of the family tree was required. [[note]](In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]'' [[spoiler:an ending sequence only available on a NewGamePlus implies that Soren, a mandatory recruit who was instrumental to Ashnard's defeat and death, was Ashnard's son.]])[[/note]]
** It's possible to do this in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' in ''The Future Past'' Paralogue as long as [[spoiler: the Avatar is the mother of Lucina]] or [[spoiler:the father to another second generation character.]] Although ''technically'' the offed person is possessed by the BigBad and views this as a MercyKill. And to be fair, the BigBad killed the other parent in the [[spoiler:first]] case ([[spoiler:while possessed]]).
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'':
*** Several characters can kill their parents: [[spoiler:The Avatar (killing his/her biological father Anankos, or either his/her mother Mikoto, his/her ParentalSubstitute Sumeragi (both were forcibly revived by Anankos) [in the ''Revelation'' path] or his/her abusive father Garon (better said, his doppelgänger who posed for years as the real Garon))]]; [[spoiler:Azura (killing her also forcibly revived mother Arete)]], [[spoiler:any Hoshidan sibling (ParentalSubstitute Mikoto or birth father Sumeragi)]], [[spoiler:any Nohrian sibling (the aforementioned fake Garon)]] and especially [[spoiler:Female Kana (but only if she's mothered by Scarlet, who dies and then is revived as a zombie in ''Revelation'' -- [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential OUCH!]]).]]
*** When [[spoiler:Beruka]]'s backstory is unveiled, she says that [[spoiler:she killed her master and teacher, the closest to a ParentalSubstitute she had.]]
*** The ''Heirs of Fate'' DLC, taking place in an AlternateUniverse, also involves this: [[spoiler:the fathers (and mother, in the case of Male Kana) are all killed to protect their children from Anankos' takeover of their worlds, and when the kids reunite and fight back, they find out that their ultimate enemies are ''their fathers and Male Kana's mother'', forcibly revived by Anankos. In a subversion, when this is said and done, the kids manage to make their way back to their homes - which have been restored, ''plus'' the parents they had to slay are alive.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'':
*** This happened in the backstory of [[spoiler: Mercedes and Emile/Jeritza/the Death Knight]]. The latter [[BerserkButton went ballistic]] when he heard his father had found [[spoiler: Emile's]] mother and half-sister who fled their terrible treatment, and intended to drag them back and this time [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe force a marriage]] on [[MySisterIsOffLimits said half-sister]] since she's younger and [[StalkerWithATestTube more likely to give him more Crest-bearing heirs]]. [[spoiler: Emile slaughtered his father's entire noble house, renounced his name, and developed a homicidal split personality called the Death Knight.]]
*** It's possible for you to have Ashe kill his adoptive father Lonato in Chapter 3.
*** Likewise, it's possible for Annette to kill her father, Gilbert, if you recruit her to the Black Eagles house [[spoiler:and then side with Edelgard during Chapter 11. You end up fighting Gilbert in the final mission of the Crimson Flower route, and can kill him there.]]
*** Offscreen during the events of Chapter 11, [[spoiler:Hubert assassinates his father, the former Marquis Vestra, for betraying the Adrestian crown in the Insurrection of the Seven]].
* In the final [[HarderThanHard Custom Night (Golden Freddy V. Mode)]] cutscene of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'' [[spoiler:Michael Afton's lines give off a really strong implication of this being his goal. Whether he's doing it to get back at his dad for getting him killed or kill him in his victims' stead is left ambiguous.]]
** [[spoiler: Either way, he burns him, along with every other remaining animatronic, down in the [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator next game]]]].
* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'', Kratos' mother's note in Hades confirms her death, and the ending of the game has him slaying his father, Zeus. Though Kratos didn't actually mean to kill his mother: she was turned into a monster and he had no choice, and it's shown later that [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas he was really sad about killing her]].
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':
** [[spoiler:Satoko]] is a tragic example. In her backstory, she had become insane and extremely paranoid as a result of [[spoiler:suffering from [[HatePlague Hinamizawa Syndrome]]]], to the point where she perceived her own parents as a threat to her and pushed them both off a cliff to their deaths. It was essentially a twisted kind of self-defense.
** [[spoiler:Natsumi]] is this in her arcs. [[spoiler:She was infected with the same HatePlague, which caused her to kill both her parents and her grandmother.]]
** [[spoiler:Hanyuu]] made her daughter Oka ritually sacrifice her in order to [[spoiler:make her the DeityOfHumanOrigin that she's been ever since]].
* Agent 47 of ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' snaps the neck of his maker at the end of the first game.
* Quite tragic case in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': [[spoiler:EmotionlessGirl Leona did ''not'' want to kill her father and the people in her village, but did so under MoreThanMindControl from MagnificentBastard Goenitz. He brainwashed this then-under-12-years-old girl into doing so to get back at her father, ex Orochi Head Gaidel, for [[DefectorFromDecadence refusing to re-join]] his QuirkyMinibossSquad. Poor Leona went into an HeroicBSOD and wandered in the jungle for several days, afflicted with TraumaInducedAmnesia, until she was adopted by ColonelBadass Heidern (who had lost his daughter and wife a while ago, at the hands of Rugal). Leona then grows up into a powerful ActionGirl, but remains amnesiac... until the events of KOF 97; she's almost DrivenToSuicide when she remembers, but then Gaidel goes SpiritAdvisor on her and tells her to keep living.]]
* In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', Zoey killed her ZombieInfectee father on his orders after he was bitten by his zombie ex-wife, because he wanted to [[DyingAsYourself die as himself]] rather than become a zombie. Zoey and the other playable characters are later informed by the military that they are [[TyphoidMary asymptomatic carriers]] of the zombie infection... and also that the carrier gene is hereditary. Since Zoey's mother obviously didn't have it, that leaves only one other option. Zoey breaks down in tears at the revelation that [[SenselessSacrifice she killed her father for no reason]].
* Maya from ''[[VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia Legaia 2: Duel Saga]]'', accidentally killed both her parents at a young age when she lost control of her magical powers. The event left her mute, but she gets over it later.
* Wrex from ''Franchise/MassEffect'' is from the Krogan, an [[PlanetOfHats entire race]] of {{Blood Knight}}s. However, after the Krogan rebellion, the Council more or less sterilized his entire race; their birthrate became so low, they are slowly going extinct[[note]] The details of this get fudged a bit in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. The fertility rate is set to 1 in 1,000 to compensate for the Krogan being catapulted into the stars (they were needed for the [[BugWar war against the Rachni]]). It's not an attempt at extinction so much as an attempt to prevent a Baby Boom of epic proportions, resulting in the Krogan trying to wage war on the universe. But they're Blood Knights, after all, so they still tend to get themselves killed at alarming rates...[[/note]] Wrex's father, the leader of their clan, had wanted to go to war again, while Wrex had the foresight to try and figure out a way to save their race. Wrex had to kill him in self-defense, then decided to abandon his people.
** Liara provides a rare heroic example if you bring her with you on Noveria - she helps you kill her own mother, Matriarch Benezia, who was an outright ''villain''. [[spoiler:[[BrainwashedAndCrazy Well]], [[TragicMonster not]] [[AntiVillain quite]]]].
** And also in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' one can convince Jacob Taylor to abandon his father on a planet with the crew that he had driven mad through forcing them to eat toxic food that caused neural decay. One can even LeaveBehindAPistol for him with only half a thermal clip.
** Another heroic example in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', if she's still alive, Miranda will kill her father who's holding her sister hostage, the second he's convinced to let her go. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Hard to say he didn't deserve it.]]
* According to {{Fanon}}, [[EnsembleDarkhorse Zero]] from ''VideoGame/MegaManX''.
* Solid Snake famously offed his dad -- or at least [[TrulySingleParent the donor of the genes]] which created Snake -- in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series.
* Psycho Mantis of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' woke up one morning to find his entire village in flames, all its inhabitants, including his father, dead, victims of his psychic powers (his mother was a victim of DeathByChildbirth). Well, that's how ''he'' tells it. He probably just did it for shits and giggles.
** As his powers began to develop as a child, he started to hear his father's thoughts. He came to the realization that his father really and truly hated him because he was responsible for his wife's death, though he acted as he loved him. One day, Psycho Mantis burned his entire village to the ground out of pure hatred for humanity, and especially his father.
** The trope is also used symbolically, and for the protagonists even, with Snake killing his "father" Big Boss, Raiden killing his "father" Solidus, and [[spoiler:Big Boss killing his "mother" The Boss]].
*** That first one, while not lacking for symbolism, isn't symbolic in the way implied with the quotation marks, what with Big Boss actually unambiguously being Snake's biological father. [[CloningBlues Well, a little ambiguously]].
* ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}'': This technically happens at the end of the game, with [[spoiler:the Batter murdering Hugo, who had created him.]]
* In ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'', [[spoiler: Angela Orosco did it to her father, killing him (and possibly her brother too) with the same kitchen knife she gives to James. Not that [[AbusiveParents he didn't]] [[ParentalIncest deserve it]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'', [[spoiler:Akira Konoe]] killed his [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] and made it seem as though a burglar had done the deed.
* In ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'', a [[PlayerCharacter Watcher]] with the Drifter background can self-describe as this, word-for-word, when explaining their past to Calisca in the prologue. The Watcher says their parents got what they deserved; whether or not this is true is left for the player to decide.
* In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'', [[spoiler:the Prince has to kill his own father in a boss fight after the latter is transformed by the Sands.]]
* [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Kibagami Genjuro]] claims to have killed his parents. His murder of his mother is AllThereInTheManual, at least.
** Downplayed with Kuki Tohma, he was born an orphan and was adopted by the Greater Kuki. But because of his jealousy towards Seishiro, Tohma murdered the old man and stole his red katana, which was said to grant its owner greater strength, for himself and became the power-hungry bad guy that sets the events of ''Warriors Rage'' in motion.
* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'': According to the flavor text, Harnessed Flame killed her own mother in the belief that it would protect Harnessed Glass, who in turn froze their father to protect Flame.
* In ''VideoGame/StarStealingPrince'', [[spoiler: Snowe's]] parents are dead. [[spoiler: Edgar and Lina weren't dead from the start like you're led to believe, they faked their own deaths and appear later in the Sepulcher, where they try to destroy Snowe and his friends and Snowe and his friends have to kill them in self-defense.]]
* Happened more than once in ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Vega's]] quite unattractive father murdered his own wife on suspicion of infidelity. Vega returned the favor, and now you understand why he's completely nuts when it comes to beauty.
** After being brainwashed thoroughly and made into [[BodyguardBabes one of the Dolls]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Juni's]] first mission was going back home and killing her parents. [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/4/40/Juni.jpg/revision/latest Here]] she goes home, allows her mother to hug her, then pulls a gun [[GoryDiscretionShot as the view pans away...]]
** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' confirms M. Bison [[MythologyGag did this to his own father]] in a win quote against Chun Li.
-->'''M. Bison:''' All you women ever do is whine! I killed my father too, and you don't see me crying about it!
* [[BigBad The Wolf]] from ''VideoGame/{{Stronghold}}'' is implied to be this.
-->'''Narrator:''' The Wolf's past is shrouded in mystery, and what is known of his history is mainly patched together from stories and unreliable rumors alone. This aside, it is believed that both his parents died from natural causes in close succession shortly after his eighteenth birthday.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenI'' has an odd example. [[spoiler:Both Tir and his father, Teo, are honorable people, but they get caught on opposite sides of a civil war. The last thing Teo tells his son after Tir has dealt the fatal blow is that he is proud of him.]]
* Balxephon in ''VideoGame/TacticsOgre'' killed his father, and later on, his mother died as well. He had his brother blamed for it.
* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' is revealed to be this in the midgame. Interestingly enough, despite being the villain of the piece it's actually a) sympathetic and b) unintentional. [[spoiler: He was strapped to a machine when he was 11 years old and forced to do a partial [[SphereOfDestruction hyperresonance]] to destroy his entire homeland. This is the very moment that set him down the path to becoming the BigBad, tied with finding out the fact certain people - including the man who adopted him and his baby sister - knew and allowed that destruction and the horrifying experiments that happened before that to happen all for the sake of [[BecauseDestinySaysSo the Score]] and the foretold "prosperity".]]
* The backstory for the Demoman in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' claims that his fascination with explosives began at age six with an attempt to kill the Loch Ness monster. That first attempt cost him both his original adopted parents. The WAR comic contradicts this by having his mother alive and living with him, leading to a {{Retcon}} stating that he blew up his ''adoptive'' parents, which led to him reuniting with his birth parents.
** There's also Gray Mann, who ate the eagle who raised him from infancy.
* Baek Doo San in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' killed his father in a training accident. The fact that [[MissingMom his mother had abandoned them after his father fell into alcoholism]] didn't exactly do wonders for Baek's mental stability after the fact. Meanwhile, the Mishima tend to ''try'' to achieve this. '''''Constantly.''''' Except for Jinpachi Mishima who was sealed under the Hon-Maru compound by Heihachi who want to seize the Mishima Zaibatsu. [[spoiler: Kazuya finally [[KilledOffForReal succeeds against Heihachi]] at the end of Tekken 7's story mode]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'':
** Arthas Menethil. After [[FaceHeelTurn losing his soul]] to the runeblade Frostmourne, he returned to Lordaeron and [[spoiler:slaughtered everyone, up to and including dear old dad]]. In fact, the cinematic trailer for the ''[[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Wrath of the Lich King]]'' expansion lays on the [[DramaticIrony irony]] by juxtaposing his dad's words of wisdom with the now-Lich King commanding his vast undead armies.
--->'''King Terenas:''' W-what are you doing?!\\
'''Prince Arthas:''' ''Succeeding'' you, father. (''stab'')
** [[spoiler:Fortunately, karma came back with a vengeance, as Terenas' soul resurrected the [[AnAdventurerIsYou heroes]] who killed him after Frostmourne was broken.]]
** Jaina Proudmoore is a rare non-evil example, justified by her father's attempted genocide. While she didn't strike the killing blow herself, the nation of Kul Tiras essentially disowned her for her involvement in Daelin's death.
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'': When a colony ship was lost in the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Void]] after an experimental Void-jump, all the children gained strange Void powers, but all the parents were [[AxeCrazy driven insane]] (or possibly [[DemonicPossession possessed by something]]; it's unclear). The children had to kill their parents to survive. [[spoiler:These children eventually became the Tenno]].
* In ''VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus'', [[spoiler:B.J. Blazkowicz]] confronts and kills his father midway through the game. Though said father was an [[AbusiveParents abusive]], [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] and [[MoralEventHorizon -raping]], Nazi-sympathizing asshole who shamelessly sold out ''his own Jewish wife'' to the aforementioned Nazis, so he had it coming.
-->'''[[spoiler: B.J. Blazkowicz]]''': Was a time I was scared of you. Was a time I'd have pissed myself having a gun pointed at my head. [[TranquilFury You know what I feel right now?]] [[PreMortemOneLiner Not a goddamn thing]].

* ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersUndying'': [[spoiler:Ambrose]] beats his father to death with a pool cue, tired of him meddling in his affairs.
* In ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' The [[spoiler:Warriors of Hope (Masaru, Kotoko, Jataro, Nagisa and Monaca)]] admit to [[KickTheSonOfABitch having murdered]] their AbusiveParents prior to the events of the game.
* In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', [[spoiler: Makoto states that as [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Remnants of Despair]], some of the cast murdered their own parents and other loved ones. [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool The anime]] confirms this was the case for [[TheEvilPrincess Sonia]] and [[TheDon Fuyuhiko]], at least.]]
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' has [[spoiler:Lady killing her father to avenge her mother's murder.]] Which doesn't count [[OffingTheOffspring the]] ''[[OffingTheOffspring other]]'' [[OffingTheOffspring thing he tried to do]]...
* [[spoiler:Adell]] in ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' is forced to MercyKill his BrainwashedAndCrazy blood-parents (by their own request) near the last few levels of the game, without even knowing who they are. What's worse is that it's heavily implied that his adoptive mother was planning to tell him who his birth parents were after the end of the game. Now ''that's'' going to be an uncomfortable conversation...
* ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland'' has a surprising example in [[spoiler: Brother Angelico, who seems like a gender inversion of the WhiteMagicianGirl but actually murdered his abusive father in a dissociative state, then the rest of his family, then continued as an AxCrazy SerialKiller who doesn't remember his crimes.]]
* In ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', [[spoiler:Wolfgang Krauser]] killed his father [[spoiler:in a DuelToTheDeath [[KlingonPromotion to become the Earl of Strolheim]].]] He honors his old man once a year by playing [[spoiler:the older Krauser]]'s favorite music in his organ.
* A tragic example in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is [[spoiler: Cait]]. As you come to know her, she’ll tell you that her parents abused her until she was old enough to be sold into slavery. She would pickpocket the raiders that owned her when they were asleep until she had enough to buy her freedom, then she tracked down her parents and murdered them.
* Averted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' with Edge, who saw the results of Dr. Lugae's horrific experiments on his parents, the King and Queen of Eblan. Edge is forced to fight his parents, who have become monsters, but he is saved from having to kill them by their coming to their senses, saying farewell to him, and killing themselves.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', Seymour kills his own father before the game starts. The reason why is because his father had him and his mother exiled after several Guado, in a case of FantasticRacism, decried the UnholyMatrimony. Guado's father's statements in the sphere indicated that he accepted his fate fully as atonement for this sin.
* This can be done in many, ''many'' cases in ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' and its remake ''Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia'', [[spoiler:Emperor Rudolf's ZeroApprovalGambit to protect both Rigel and Zofia includes him being slain by LaResistance... which is led by his son Albein Alm Rudolf aka Alm, one of the protagonists. Alm, [[RagsToRoyalty who had been raised away in a village]], has no idea that his biggest enemy is his biological father: he only finds out during the climactic battle against Rudolf, and naturally ''[[HeroicBSOD he doesn't take it well]]''.]]
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'':
*** In the first half, King Chagall of Augustria and Duke Andrey of Jungby kill their fathers to ascend to their respective thrones. (The second earns the scorn of [[EvenEvilHasStandards his fellow conspirator Duke Lombard]] for that.) Also, for major VideoGameCrueltyPotential, in both halves the player can have some of their own units kill their {{Archnemesis Dad}}s: Tailtiu (daughter of Duke Reptor) and Lex (son of the aforementioned Duke Lombard) for the first part, either Iuchar or Iucharba (sons of King Danann) in the second.
*** In the second half, there's [[spoiler:the [[DemonicPossession Loptous!possessed! Prince Julius]] attacking his mother Deirdre ''and'' his younger sister Julia. WhiteMagicianGirl Deirdre manages to use her Warp staff to save Julia but isn't lucky enough herself, and she dies at Julius's hands.]]
** In the backstory of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', [[spoiler:after numerous attempts on his own life from [[OffingTheOffspring his father, King Desmond]], Prince Zephiel of Bern [[TheDogBitesBack decided to turn the tables]]. He faked his own death, then at his funeral, when Desmond opened the coffin to check on his son, Zephiel stabbed him dead on the spot.]]
** The BigBad of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Path of Radiance]]'', King Ashnard, is revealed to have killed not only his parents but his ''entire family''. He was pretty far back in the line of succession, so if he wanted to become king, some pruning of the family tree was required. [[note]](In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]'' [[spoiler:an ending sequence only available on a NewGamePlus implies that Soren, a mandatory recruit who was instrumental to Ashnard's defeat and death, was Ashnard's son.]])[[/note]]
** It's possible to do this in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' in ''The Future Past'' Paralogue as long as [[spoiler: the Avatar is the mother of Lucina]] or [[spoiler:the father to another second generation character.]] Although ''technically'' the offed person is possessed by the BigBad and views this as a MercyKill. And to be fair, the BigBad killed the other parent in the [[spoiler:first]] case ([[spoiler:while possessed]]).
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'':
*** Several characters can kill their parents: [[spoiler:The Avatar (killing his/her biological father Anankos, or either his/her mother Mikoto, his/her ParentalSubstitute Sumeragi (both were forcibly revived by Anankos) [in the ''Revelation'' path] or his/her abusive father Garon (better said, his doppelgänger who posed for years as the real Garon))]]; [[spoiler:Azura (killing her also forcibly revived mother Arete)]], [[spoiler:any Hoshidan sibling (ParentalSubstitute Mikoto or birth father Sumeragi)]], [[spoiler:any Nohrian sibling (the aforementioned fake Garon)]] and especially [[spoiler:Female Kana (but only if she's mothered by Scarlet, who dies and then is revived as a zombie in ''Revelation'' -- [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential OUCH!]]).]]
*** When [[spoiler:Beruka]]'s backstory is unveiled, she says that [[spoiler:she killed her master and teacher, the closest to a ParentalSubstitute she had.]]
*** The ''Heirs of Fate'' DLC, taking place in an AlternateUniverse, also involves this: [[spoiler:the fathers (and mother, in the case of Male Kana) are all killed to protect their children from Anankos' takeover of their worlds, and when the kids reunite and fight back, they find out that their ultimate enemies are ''their fathers and Male Kana's mother'', forcibly revived by Anankos. In a subversion, when this is said and done, the kids manage to make their way back to their homes - which have been restored, ''plus'' the parents they had to slay are alive.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'':
*** This happened in the backstory of [[spoiler: Mercedes and Emile/Jeritza/the Death Knight]]. The latter [[BerserkButton went ballistic]] when he heard his father had found [[spoiler: Emile's]] mother and half-sister who fled their terrible treatment, and intended to drag them back and this time [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe force a marriage]] on [[MySisterIsOffLimits said half-sister]] since she's younger and [[StalkerWithATestTube more likely to give him more Crest-bearing heirs]]. [[spoiler: Emile slaughtered his father's entire noble house, renounced his name, and developed a homicidal split personality called the Death Knight.]]
*** It's possible for you to have Ashe kill his adoptive father Lonato in Chapter 3.
*** Likewise, it's possible for Annette to kill her father, Gilbert, if you recruit her to the Black Eagles house [[spoiler:and then side with Edelgard during Chapter 11. You end up fighting Gilbert in the final mission of the Crimson Flower route, and can kill him there.]]
*** Offscreen during the events of Chapter 11, [[spoiler:Hubert assassinates his father, the former Marquis Vestra, for betraying the Adrestian crown in the Insurrection of the Seven]].
* In the final [[HarderThanHard Custom Night (Golden Freddy V. Mode)]] cutscene of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'' [[spoiler:Michael Afton's lines give off a really strong implication of this being his goal. Whether he's doing it to get back at his dad for getting him killed or kill him in his victims' stead is left ambiguous.]]
** [[spoiler: Either way, he burns him, along with every other remaining animatronic, down in the [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator next game]]]].
* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'', Kratos' mother's note in Hades confirms her death, and the ending of the game has him slaying his father, Zeus. Though Kratos didn't actually mean to kill his mother: she was turned into a monster and he had no choice, and it's shown later that [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas he was really sad about killing her]].
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':
** [[spoiler:Satoko]] is a tragic example. In her backstory, she had become insane and extremely paranoid as a result of [[spoiler:suffering from [[HatePlague Hinamizawa Syndrome]]]], to the point where she perceived her own parents as a threat to her and pushed them both off a cliff to their deaths. It was essentially a twisted kind of self-defense.
** [[spoiler:Natsumi]] is this in her arcs. [[spoiler:She was infected with the same HatePlague, which caused her to kill both her parents and her grandmother.]]
** [[spoiler:Hanyuu]] made her daughter Oka ritually sacrifice her in order to [[spoiler:make her the DeityOfHumanOrigin that she's been ever since]].
* Agent 47 of ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' snaps the neck of his maker at the end of the first game.
* Quite tragic case in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': [[spoiler:EmotionlessGirl Leona did ''not'' want to kill her father and the people in her village, but did so under MoreThanMindControl from MagnificentBastard Goenitz. He brainwashed this then-under-12-years-old girl into doing so to get back at her father, ex Orochi Head Gaidel, for [[DefectorFromDecadence refusing to re-join]] his QuirkyMinibossSquad. Poor Leona went into an HeroicBSOD and wandered in the jungle for several days, afflicted with TraumaInducedAmnesia, until she was adopted by ColonelBadass Heidern (who had lost his daughter and wife a while ago, at the hands of Rugal). Leona then grows up into a powerful ActionGirl, but remains amnesiac... until the events of KOF 97; she's almost DrivenToSuicide when she remembers, but then Gaidel goes SpiritAdvisor on her and tells her to keep living.]]
* In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', Zoey killed her ZombieInfectee father on his orders after he was bitten by his zombie ex-wife, because he wanted to [[DyingAsYourself die as himself]] rather than become a zombie. Zoey and the other playable characters are later informed by the military that they are [[TyphoidMary asymptomatic carriers]] of the zombie infection... and also that the carrier gene is hereditary. Since Zoey's mother obviously didn't have it, that leaves only one other option. Zoey breaks down in tears at the revelation that [[SenselessSacrifice she killed her father for no reason]].
* Maya from ''[[VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia Legaia 2: Duel Saga]]'', accidentally killed both her parents at a young age when she lost control of her magical powers. The event left her mute, but she gets over it later.
* Wrex from ''Franchise/MassEffect'' is from the Krogan, an [[PlanetOfHats entire race]] of {{Blood Knight}}s. However, after the Krogan rebellion, the Council more or less sterilized his entire race; their birthrate became so low, they are slowly going extinct[[note]] The details of this get fudged a bit in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. The fertility rate is set to 1 in 1,000 to compensate for the Krogan being catapulted into the stars (they were needed for the [[BugWar war against the Rachni]]). It's not an attempt at extinction so much as an attempt to prevent a Baby Boom of epic proportions, resulting in the Krogan trying to wage war on the universe. But they're Blood Knights, after all, so they still tend to get themselves killed at alarming rates...[[/note]] Wrex's father, the leader of their clan, had wanted to go to war again, while Wrex had the foresight to try and figure out a way to save their race. Wrex had to kill him in self-defense, then decided to abandon his people.
** Liara provides a rare heroic example if you bring her with you on Noveria - she helps you kill her own mother, Matriarch Benezia, who was an outright ''villain''. [[spoiler:[[BrainwashedAndCrazy Well]], [[TragicMonster not]] [[AntiVillain quite]]]].
** And also in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' one can convince Jacob Taylor to abandon his father on a planet with the crew that he had driven mad through forcing them to eat toxic food that caused neural decay. One can even LeaveBehindAPistol for him with only half a thermal clip.
** Another heroic example in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', if she's still alive, Miranda will kill her father who's holding her sister hostage, the second he's convinced to let her go. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Hard to say he didn't deserve it.]]
* According to {{Fanon}}, [[EnsembleDarkhorse Zero]] from ''VideoGame/MegaManX''.
* Solid Snake famously offed his dad -- or at least [[TrulySingleParent the donor of the genes]] which created Snake -- in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series.
* Psycho Mantis of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' woke up one morning to find his entire village in flames, all its inhabitants, including his father, dead, victims of his psychic powers (his mother was a victim of DeathByChildbirth). Well, that's how ''he'' tells it. He probably just did it for shits and giggles.
** As his powers began to develop as a child, he started to hear his father's thoughts. He came to the realization that his father really and truly hated him because he was responsible for his wife's death, though he acted as he loved him. One day, Psycho Mantis burned his entire village to the ground out of pure hatred for humanity, and especially his father.
** The trope is also used symbolically, and for the protagonists even, with Snake killing his "father" Big Boss, Raiden killing his "father" Solidus, and [[spoiler:Big Boss killing his "mother" The Boss]].
*** That first one, while not lacking for symbolism, isn't symbolic in the way implied with the quotation marks, what with Big Boss actually unambiguously being Snake's biological father. [[CloningBlues Well, a little ambiguously]].
* ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}'': This technically happens at the end of the game, with [[spoiler:the Batter murdering Hugo, who had created him.]]
* In ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'', [[spoiler: Angela Orosco did it to her father, killing him (and possibly her brother too) with the same kitchen knife she gives to James. Not that [[AbusiveParents he didn't]] [[ParentalIncest deserve it]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'', [[spoiler:Akira Konoe]] killed his [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] and made it seem as though a burglar had done the deed.
* In ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'', a [[PlayerCharacter Watcher]] with the Drifter background can self-describe as this, word-for-word, when explaining their past to Calisca in the prologue. The Watcher says their parents got what they deserved; whether or not this is true is left for the player to decide.
* In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'', [[spoiler:the Prince has to kill his own father in a boss fight after the latter is transformed by the Sands.]]
* [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Kibagami Genjuro]] claims to have killed his parents. His murder of his mother is AllThereInTheManual, at least.
** Downplayed with Kuki Tohma, he was born an orphan and was adopted by the Greater Kuki. But because of his jealousy towards Seishiro, Tohma murdered the old man and stole his red katana, which was said to grant its owner greater strength, for himself and became the power-hungry bad guy that sets the events of ''Warriors Rage'' in motion.
* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'': According to the flavor text, Harnessed Flame killed her own mother in the belief that it would protect Harnessed Glass, who in turn froze their father to protect Flame.
* In ''VideoGame/StarStealingPrince'', [[spoiler: Snowe's]] parents are dead. [[spoiler: Edgar and Lina weren't dead from the start like you're led to believe, they faked their own deaths and appear later in the Sepulcher, where they try to destroy Snowe and his friends and Snowe and his friends have to kill them in self-defense.]]
* Happened more than once in ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Vega's]] quite unattractive father murdered his own wife on suspicion of infidelity. Vega returned the favor, and now you understand why he's completely nuts when it comes to beauty.
** After being brainwashed thoroughly and made into [[BodyguardBabes one of the Dolls]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Juni's]] first mission was going back home and killing her parents. [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/4/40/Juni.jpg/revision/latest Here]] she goes home, allows her mother to hug her, then pulls a gun [[GoryDiscretionShot as the view pans away...]]
** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' confirms M. Bison [[MythologyGag did this to his own father]] in a win quote against Chun Li.
-->'''M. Bison:''' All you women ever do is whine! I killed my father too, and you don't see me crying about it!
* [[BigBad The Wolf]] from ''VideoGame/{{Stronghold}}'' is implied to be this.
-->'''Narrator:''' The Wolf's past is shrouded in mystery, and what is known of his history is mainly patched together from stories and unreliable rumors alone. This aside, it is believed that both his parents died from natural causes in close succession shortly after his eighteenth birthday.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenI'' has an odd example. [[spoiler:Both Tir and his father, Teo, are honorable people, but they get caught on opposite sides of a civil war. The last thing Teo tells his son after Tir has dealt the fatal blow is that he is proud of him.]]
* Balxephon in ''VideoGame/TacticsOgre'' killed his father, and later on, his mother died as well. He had his brother blamed for it.
* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' is revealed to be this in the midgame. Interestingly enough, despite being the villain of the piece it's actually a) sympathetic and b) unintentional. [[spoiler: He was strapped to a machine when he was 11 years old and forced to do a partial [[SphereOfDestruction hyperresonance]] to destroy his entire homeland. This is the very moment that set him down the path to becoming the BigBad, tied with finding out the fact certain people - including the man who adopted him and his baby sister - knew and allowed that destruction and the horrifying experiments that happened before that to happen all for the sake of [[BecauseDestinySaysSo the Score]] and the foretold "prosperity".]]
* The backstory for the Demoman in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' claims that his fascination with explosives began at age six with an attempt to kill the Loch Ness monster. That first attempt cost him both his original adopted parents. The WAR comic contradicts this by having his mother alive and living with him, leading to a {{Retcon}} stating that he blew up his ''adoptive'' parents, which led to him reuniting with his birth parents.
** There's also Gray Mann, who ate the eagle who raised him from infancy.
* Baek Doo San in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' killed his father in a training accident. The fact that [[MissingMom his mother had abandoned them after his father fell into alcoholism]] didn't exactly do wonders for Baek's mental stability after the fact. Meanwhile, the Mishima tend to ''try'' to achieve this. '''''Constantly.''''' Except for Jinpachi Mishima who was sealed under the Hon-Maru compound by Heihachi who want to seize the Mishima Zaibatsu. [[spoiler: Kazuya finally [[KilledOffForReal succeeds against Heihachi]] at the end of Tekken 7's story mode]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'':
** Arthas Menethil. After [[FaceHeelTurn losing his soul]] to the runeblade Frostmourne, he returned to Lordaeron and [[spoiler:slaughtered everyone, up to and including dear old dad]]. In fact, the cinematic trailer for the ''[[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Wrath of the Lich King]]'' expansion lays on the [[DramaticIrony irony]] by juxtaposing his dad's words of wisdom with the now-Lich King commanding his vast undead armies.
--->'''King Terenas:''' W-what are you doing?!\\
'''Prince Arthas:''' ''Succeeding'' you, father. (''stab'')
** [[spoiler:Fortunately, karma came back with a vengeance, as Terenas' soul resurrected the [[AnAdventurerIsYou heroes]] who killed him after Frostmourne was broken.]]
** Jaina Proudmoore is a rare non-evil example, justified by her father's attempted genocide. While she didn't strike the killing blow herself, the nation of Kul Tiras essentially disowned her for her involvement in Daelin's death.
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'': When a colony ship was lost in the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Void]] after an experimental Void-jump, all the children gained strange Void powers, but all the parents were [[AxeCrazy driven insane]] (or possibly [[DemonicPossession possessed by something]]; it's unclear). The children had to kill their parents to survive. [[spoiler:These children eventually became the Tenno]].
* In ''VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus'', [[spoiler:B.J. Blazkowicz]] confronts and kills his father midway through the game. Though said father was an [[AbusiveParents abusive]], [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] and [[MoralEventHorizon -raping]], Nazi-sympathizing asshole who shamelessly sold out ''his own Jewish wife'' to the aforementioned Nazis, so he had it coming.
-->'''[[spoiler: B.J. Blazkowicz]]''': Was a time I was scared of you. Was a time I'd have pissed myself having a gun pointed at my head. [[TranquilFury You know what I feel right now?]] [[PreMortemOneLiner Not a goddamn thing]].
