* Lü Bu is featured as a major character/opponent in ''VideoGame/WoLongFallenDynasty'', where he keeps his reputation as the strongest warrior of the land, and somehow his helmet also doubles as a mask. This makes him some sort of CharClone, since he's still accompanied with Red Hare, and [[spoiler:the identity of Diao Chan is refitted to be his long lost sister, whose actual identity is the game's original companion character, Hong Jing.]] The portrayal also turns out to be [[spoiler:one of [[AdaptationalHeroism the more heroic portrayals]] of Lü Bu, where his backstabbing tendencies are removed almost completely; he only looks antagonistic because he serves Dong Zhuo and strikes out on his own, but instead of doing it for fame and glory, he's secretly hunting the main antagonist whom he sees as a threat to others and doesn't want to involve the people in his village. He only literally backstabs Dong Zhuo to death, but that's because of [[AssholeVictim Dong Zhuo threatening to kill Diao Chan/Hong Jing]], triggering his own BigBrotherInstinct.]]

* ''VideoGame/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' by Koei, in which Lü Bu is a mainstay and usually well known for his impressive WAR stat. His only drawback is his dumbass INT, which makes him suspectible to ploys.

Another of his prized possession is the steed Red Hare, an extremely powerful horse able to gallop across cities and leaping through moats with ease (and the origin of the quote on the beginning of this page). This horse was Lü Bu's steed of choice during a time when he helped Yuan Shao subdue warlord Zhang Yan after Lü Bu murdered Dong Zhuo before his own demise against Cao Cao. Aside of being extraordinarily powerful, not so much was known about the horse. Naturally, ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' exaggerated the presence of the horse and its relations with Lü Bu.[[note]]In the novel, the horse originally belongs to Dong Zhuo and is used to bribe Lü Bu into murdering Ding Yuan and defecting to Dong Zhuo. It works and eventually, both creatures of strength bond over their strength. After Lü Bu dies, the horse becomes untameable unless it sees [[TheChosenOne someone it recognizes as its new master.]] That person is UsefulNotes/GuanYu. And after Guan Yu dies, it fails to find someone worthy as a new master, so it starves itself to death.[[/note]]
