* The relatively minor Morrigan/Flemeth plot in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' and ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', especially after Flemeth's cryptic remarks in the second game and Morrigan's SequelHook at the end of Witch Hunt, suggest that the entire saga of seemingly unrelated tales is being set up as a massive GambitRoulette war between the two.

''The Descent'' even implies that the Evanuris and their followers hunted the Titans to near extinction before Solas sealed them away.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' is building up a decent Myth Arc and it will be interesting to see what parts of it are carried on into ''New Vegas'' -- there are two main strands to this: firstly the story of how the world ended up the way it did, and how the Government with its [[CrapsaccharineWorld Crapsaccharine]] Vault experiments became the Enclave which is encountered by the PC in ''2'' and ''3'', and had its sticky little fingers in the FEV virus you discover in ''1''. Secondly, the story is about how the world is on the road to some kind of recovery -- in every game so far, the world has been slightly more built-up, less sparsely populated and a little less {{crapsack|World}} than the last, and the player can affect this progress; hindering by destroying entire settlements or helping by improving the ones that exist. Each game also gives you the chance to help Harold, who is, if you keep him alive in ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', pretty much the only way the desert will ever become green again. All of this makes gritty little Fallout one of the most [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism idealistic]] video games out there, in an EarnYourHappyEnding kind of way.
** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' in particular has a Myth Arc in its DLC involving Ulysses, the original courier who was to deliver the Platinum Chip who has some past history with the Courier. Their final confrontation is the entire point of the DLC Lonesome Road.
*** Lonesome Road is just the end of the myth arc, as Ulysses is mentioned as early as the second town visited in the main game, and mentioned several times after. He follows you around for the majority of the main game, and you follow him for the majority of the DLC. To elaborate: Ulysses and Courier 6 inadvertently cause all of the main plots of the DLC and the main game: Courier 6 is the one responsible for the destruction of the Divide (the setting of ''Lonesome Road''), following which Ulysses travels to Utah and trains the White Legs to destroy New Canaan and the Burned Man (who reappears, along with the White Legs, in ''Honest Hearts''). Ulysses then made his way to the Big MT (setting of ''Old World Blues'') and met with Elijah and Christine, among others, of the Brotherhood of Steel. He then sent the former to the Sierra Madre (where he meets Courier 6, becoming the villain of ''Dead Money'', which takes place in the Sierra Madre). He then talks to the Think Tank of the Big MT and convinces them to remember their history and retake America, thus setting in motion the events of ''Old World Blues''. After all this, he initially signs up to deliver the [[{{MacGuffin}} Platinum Chip]] until he notices Courier 6's name next on the list, and has him/her deliver it instead, hoping that it will kill him (which sets in motion the main game's plot: if not for Ulysses, Courier 6 wouldn't have delivered the chip, been ambushed by Benny and the Great Khans, shot in the head, and so on). He then returns to the Divide to, when it becomes clear Courier 6 has survived the delivery, take his revenge (which is the plot of ''Lonesome Road'').
** Fans have theorized that the series is leading up to a final clash between the ever-expanding New California Republic and the authoritarian technocracy that is the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel. Keeping in line with the themes of [[ArcWords war never changing]], this would likely level the US once more.

** First was the "Dark Seeker Saga", running from [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the first game]] to ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', which centers around an elderly Keyblade master named Xehanort trying to open Kingdom Hearts in an attempt to remake the universe into something greater (under the logic that when Kingdom Hearts was opened after the Keyblade War, the world was renewed even grander than it had been before). Just about every game centers around one incarnation or another of Xehanort trying to accomplish this end, or setting up all of the pieces. The only odd ones out were the mobile game ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'' (set many years before the Dark Seeker Saga), the main story of ''Chain of Memories'' (with the remnants of one of Xehanort’s incarnations serving as the antagonist of the ''Reverse/Rebirth'' campaign), and ''coded.''
** Now, however, ''χ'' seems to have served the purpose of establishing a ''new'' myth arc involving the Master of Masters and his six apprentices, dubbed the Lost Master Arc. It was also tied into the first arc by virtue of one of these six apprentices passing down the Master of Masters' Keyblade to his apprentice, and it would eventually wind up in Xehanort's hands, as well as eventually being revealed to be [[spoiler:Xigbar]].

*** The Infinity Stones Arc started in Phase 1's ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger The First Avenger]]'' (although it retroactively tied into ''Film/IronMan1'') with the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube, eventually shown to be the Space Stone. Phase 2 brought 3 more stones into acknowledgement; confirming Loki's Scepter was one of them in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' with two others showing up in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014''.

* The relatively minor Morrigan/Flemeth plot in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' and ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', especially after Flemeth's cryptic remarks in the second game and Morrigan's SequelHook at the end of Witch Hunt, suggest that the entire saga of seemingly unrelated tales is being set up as a massive GambitRoulette war between the two. ''Videogame/DragonAgeInquisition'' and its DLC's escalate this by introducing [[spoiler: the conflict between Solas/The Dread Wolf Fen'Harel and the Evanuris, the false gods of the elven pantheon (who in reality were incredibly powerful and AxCrazy [[SorcerousOverlord elven mages]]), with Flemeth being a vengeful shard of Mythal, and the mysterious species of Sha-Brytol who serve an even more mysterious species of Titans that might be the source of the worlds Lyrium. ''The Descent'' even implies that the Evanuris and their followers hunted the Titans to near extinction before Solas sealed them away.]]

*** Lonesome Road is just the end of the myth arc, as Ulysses is mentioned as early as the second town visited in the main game, and mentioned several times after. He follows you around for the majority of the main game, and you follow him for the majority of the DLC. To elaborate: Ulysses and Courier 6 inadvertently cause all of the main plots of the DLC and the main game: Courier 6 is the one responsible for the destruction of the Divide (the setting of ''Lonesome Road''), following which Ulysses travels to Utah and trains the White Legs to destroy New Canaan and the Burned Man (who reappears, along with the White Legs, in ''Honest Hearts''). Ulysses then made his way to the Big MT (setting of ''Old World Blues'') and met with Elijah and Christine, among others, of the Brotherhood of Steel. He then sent the former to the Sierra Madre (where he meets Courier 6, becoming the villain of ''Dead Money'', which takes place in the Sierra Madre). He then talks to the Think Tank of the Big MT and convinces them to remember their history and retake America, thus setting in motion the events of ''Old World Blues''. After all this, he initially signs up to deliver the [[Main/{{MacGuffin}} Platinum Chip]] until he notices Courier 6's name next on the list, and has him/her deliver it instead, hoping that it will kill him (which sets in motion the main game's plot: if not for Ulysses, Courier 6 wouldn't have delivered the chip, been ambushed by Benny and the Great Khans, shot in the head, and so on). He then returns to the Divide to, when it becomes clear Courier 6 has survived the delivery, take his revenge (which is the plot of ''Lonesome Road'').
** Fans have theorized that the series is leading up to a final clash between the ever-expanding New California Republic and the authoritarian technocracy that is the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel. Keeping in line with the themes of [[Main/ArcWords war never changing]], this would likely level the US once more.

All the other stories are centered on how each God in the pantheon rose to power, all parts of the grander whole.

** First was the "Dark Seeker Saga", which centers around an elderly Keyblade master named Xehanort trying to open Kingdom Hearts in an attempt to remake the universe into something greater (under the logic that when Kingdom Hearts was opened after the Keyblade War, the world was renewed even grander than it had been before). Just about every game centers around one incarnation or another of Xehanort trying to accomplish this end, or setting up all of the pieces. The only odd ones out were the mobile game, ''Chain of Memories'', and ''coded.''

* Zigzagged with ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}''. For the first two seasons, there is a clear overarching story, specifically, the Ninja's efforts to defeat [[BigBad Lord Garmadon]]. There is also the conflict with Lloyd and the various Snake armies, the emergence of [[UltimateEvil The Overlord]], and the prophecy that one of the Ninja will go on to become [[TheChosenOne The Green Ninja]], all of which tie into the aforementioned main plot. However, all of these plot threads are rather neatly tied up by the end of the second season, with very little in the way of loose ends. Originally, this was meant to be the end of the show; it was UnCancelled after a rather unexpected outpouring from fans. Since then, each season has revolved around one specific threat that is dealt with by the season's end, or in the case of Season 8, by the end of the next season. Nevertheless, the show maintains a strong sense of continuity, with the events of each season having long-lasting consequences.
