A subtrope of MultipleEndings where each ending shows one of the factions in the game triumph over others, either because the PlayerCharacter chooses to ally with them (popular in {{Role Playing Game}}s) or because the player controls them from the start (popular in strategy games). In the former case, there can also be a Lone Wolf Ending, where the player refuses to take sides and [[OmnicidalNeutral just beats up everyone]].

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall'' has seven endings: one for each of the four rival kingdoms of the region (Sentinel, Wayrest, Orsinium, Daggerfall), one for the Tamriel Empire (represented by [[SecretPolice the Blades]]), and two for supernatural forces (the King of Worms and the Underking).
** In an interesting twist, Daggerfall's endings are all canonical. Simultaneously. [[MindScrew Despite many being mutually exclusive.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{KingdomOfLoathing}}'''s Level 12 quest lets you fight in a war for the frat boys, the hippies, or both at once. If you kill the frat boy army, you can fight their leader, and then blow up their frat house, which will make the house a different zone until you ascend. If you kill the hippy army, you can do the same thing to their hippy camp. There's even a secret solution to the quest, where you can fight both armies until they get down to one frat boy and hippy each, then use a flare gun in the following battle to summon the pirates, who will kill both armies and bases at once and unlock a better medal than fighting either army individually.

* The ending cutscene of ''Shogun: VideoGame/TotalWar'' changes slightly depending on what clan you played as.

* In ''Videogame/{{WarCraft}}: Orcs and Humans'', the Orcish Horde and the kingdom of Azeroth both have an ending where they defeat the other one. Same thing in ''Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness'' and its expansion ''Beyond the Dark Portal'' for the Alliance of Lordaeron and the Horde. Going by [[CuttingOffTheBranches the second and then the third game]], ''Orcs and Humans'' canonically ended with the Orc victory and the destruction of the kingdom of Stormwind, while ''Tides of Darkness'' concluded with an Alliance victory, spelling the defeat of the Horde and closing of the Dark Portal.

* ''VideoGame/DuneII'' has three possible end victory sequences, one for each of the houses that the player can be a part of (Atreides, Harkonnen, Ordos).

* In ''Videogame/{{WarCraft}}: Orcs and Humans'', the Orcish Horde and the kingdom of Azeroth both have an ending where they defeat the other one. Same thing in ''Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness'' and its expansion ''Beyond the Dark Portal'' for the Alliance of Lordaeron and the Horde.
** Going by the second and than third game, Orcs and Humans ended canonically with an Orc victory and the destruction of the kingdom of Stormwind, and Tides of Darkness ended with an Alliance victory with the defeat of the Horde and closing of the Dark Portal.

* ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' has four faction endings (Camarilla, the Anarchs, [=LaCroix=], and Kuei-Jin) plus the Lone Wolf ending. Although you only have to chose your final alliance in the endgame, several choices across the entire game limit your options.

** While the endings of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' are not faction-specific, the resolutions of the story quests leading up to them frequently are: in the Circle Tower, you can side either with the mages or with the Templars (with a caveat that only the Templar ending is available if Irving dies); in the Brecilian Forest, you must side either with the Dalish, or with the werewolves (or with [[spoiler:the Lady of the Forest]], [[TakeAThirdOption saving everyone]]); and, in Orzammar, you must support either Prince Bhelen or Lord Harrowmont's bid for the throne, as well as [[spoiler:choose between Paragon Caridin and Paragon Branka's support at the Anvil of the Void]]. These choices mainly determine the composition of your supporting army during the FinalBattle.

* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' has several endings depending on which faction you side with, as well as your morality and certain other choices (including individual "where are they now" segments for each recruitable character) as well as a "Wildcard" ending where [[spoiler: the player hijacks Benny's plan to take over the region]] which leaves all the factions sent packing.

* ''{{Brigandine}}'' features an ending for each of the nations which can unite the continent of Forsena.

** While the endings of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' are not faction-specific, the resolutions of the story quests leading up to them frequently are: in the Circle Tower, you can side either with the mages or with the Templars (with a caveat that only the Templar ending is available if Irving dies); in the Brecilian Forest, you must side either with the Dalish, or with the werewolves; and, in Orzammar, you must support either Prince Bhelen or Lord Harrowmont's bid for the throne, as well as [[spoiler:choose between Paragon Caridin and Paragon Branka's support at the Anvil of the Void]]. These choices mainly determine the composition of your supporting army during the FinalBattle.

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' has the Templar ending and the Mage ending. The absence of [[TakeAThirdOption a neutral path]] is very much a plot point.

* Each game in the ''VideoGame/{{Geneforge}}'' series has an ending for each of the factions that it's possible for the player to join. The first two games also have a Lone Wolf/OmnicidalNeutral ending. The rest of the series, [[YouLoseAtZeroTrust not so much]].
