** [[spoiler: Balthier]] was born [[spoiler: Ffamran Mied Bunansa]] and takes up a new identity after realizing how twisted [[spoiler: his father, Dr. Cid]] had become thanks to an obsession with nethicite.
** Judge Gabranth was born [[spoiler: Noah fon Ronsenburg]] and gave up his birth name, believing he no longer had any right to use it for a self-perceived failure to defend his nation from the Empire he now serves.
** [[spoiler: Reddas]] was originally known as [[spoiler: Judge Zecht]], a high ranking and influential figure in the Archadian Empire before becoming disillusioned and running away to start a new life.

* ''VideoGame/NobodySavesTheWorld'': At the very end of the game, [[spoiler:the Calamity offers to return Nostramagus to his regular form and give him back his memories, but he decides to continue living as "Nobody" rather than accept a DealWithTheDevil, especially since his past self was an arrogant asshole and an all-around unpleasant person]].

* ''VideoGame/Persona3'' has this at the start of the final boss battle. When facing the [[spoiler:Nyx Avatar, Yukari refers to him as Ryoji, a nod to how he - briefly - was an AmnesiacGod. The Nyx Avatar responds "That was my name for a time. I didn't mind it."]]

* ''VideoGame/TheCoffinOfAndyAndLeyley'' invokes this at the end of the first act; Andrew Graves (the "Andy" of the title) insists that he and Ashley (aka "Leyley") [[OutgrowingTheChildishName abandon their childhood nicknames]] to symbolize moving on from their old lives, as they've gone from the (relative) innocents they used to be to full-on [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]] {{Serial Killer}}s. There's also a hint that Andrew wants to take some control regarding the siblings' toxic, co-dependent relationship, as he sees "Andy" as an ExtremeDoormat who caved to "Leyley"'s every whim, and thinks that abandoning the nicknames will force Ashley out of their old dynamic. However, in the second act, Ashley's needling (especially in the "Decay" route) indicates that Andy isn't as dead as Andrew would prefer.

* ''VideoGane/{{Ubersoldier}} 2'' reveals the Nazi SuperSoldier and enforcer who menaced you repeatedly in the first half to be Dietrich von Schneider, your ally Maria Schneider's brother and an earlier product of the ''Ubersoldier'' project.

* ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'':
** ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXV'': Krohnen ''really'' doesn't like being called [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters2001 K9999]]]], refusing to answer to his old name, and even intimidating his own teammates into calling him "Krohnen". It even extends to a meta level - in [[https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/official/kof-portal/characters/ SNK's official character database]], Krohnen's original identity has no bio.
--->Ángel... The name's Krohnen. Next time you screw that up, you'll regret it.

* In ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', Alt Cunningham is a VirtualGhost whose consciousness had been trapped within {{cyberspace}} for over half a century, and as a result she [[TranshumanAbomination no longer sees herself as human]] and asserts that her previous identity is no more. Despite this, she has her NotSoStoic moments where traces of her original personality leak through as a result of TheMasochismTango with Johnny.
