** The endings also tell you what happened to your companions provided they survived to the end of the game. John Cassidy settled down and fathered [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas a daughter named Rose of Sharon who would also follow a figure who will change the Wasteland in the future, Marcus went out east and founded a town where Mutants can live in peace]], and that arrogant little shirt Myron [[KarmicDeath was stabbed to death by an addict of the same life-destroying drug he invented.]]

* The credits of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfTianding'' depicts the game's aftermath if you get its TheHeroDies / BittersweetEnding. After the death of Tian-ding (your player character), your rival Matsumoto who pulled a DefectorFromDecadence earlier then proceeds to clear your name. Your protégé-turned-killer, A-Lian, comes to regret his actions and took over your role as the protector of Taiwan, while the ''real'' traitor was subsequently arrested and imprisoned. Unfortunately, your LoveInterest, the HookerWithAHeartOfGold whom you spend most of the game trying to buy her freedom, ends up being purchased by a wealthy foreign tycoon, and spends the rest of her life unhappily. On the plus side, you get [[OurFounder a statue and a shrine]] in your likeness after the war ended, where your protégé narrates your deeds to the next generation.

** Sindel is reunited with Jerrod after Ermac [[YourSoulIsMine accidentally absorbed her soul]] per the events of the story, with the two now fighting against the rest of Ermac's souls for the right to govern the body.

** Quan Chi is revealed to have been imprisoned sometime after the final battle, but was eventually freed under Ermac's orders. Despite losing what power he had gained, he is undeterred in his mission to find more, and now sets out to find the Hourglass and master his dark magic so as to kill Liu Kang and become the Keeper of Time.

* ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' (the original NES game) ends with the revelation that the game is a story Super Joe is telling as an old man.

* ''[[VideoGame/TwentyTwentySeven 2027]]'', a total conversion mod for ''VideoGame/DeusEx'', has this at the end of the game as well.

%%* And, of course ''VideoGame/ArcanumOfSteamworksAndMagickObscura'' had this as well.

** Ashrah is accepted into Earthrealm by Liu Kang and joins the Shaolin, but finds herself haunted by the fact that Sareena is still under Quan Chi's control. She successfully manages to save Sareena and has Liu Kang break Quan Chi's spell over her.

** Tanya discovers that King Jerrod's murder was not the failure of Li Mei, but the Umgadi's Matron Superior, who arranged his assassination and used Li Mei as a TheScapegoat.

** Initially averted in the ending to ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', where all [[TheNarrator Varric]] says is that Hawke's friends went their separate ways after the final battle except Hawke's love interest (if applicable), who stayed by Hawke's side. In-universe, it makes sense that Varric wouldn't be forthcoming, since they are all fugitives by that point and Varric is not inclined to reveal the whereabouts of his friends to the woman who arrested him. When he returns as a party member in Inquisition, you have the opportunity early in the game to ask him about the events of ''II'', and he gives a proper epilogue detailing what became of the other six party members.

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'' has this in the form of the character endings in Klassic Tower, the standard arcade mode. In previous ''Mortal Kombat'' games (and fighting games in general), character endings are portrayed as [[WhatIf What if this character]] won the tournament/defeated the BigBad?" scenarios, which are generally non-canon except for one character deemed TheHero. Since this game already deals heavily in TheMultiverse where ''every'' previous ending is canon and then some, the endings here focus on this one reality and show what each character does after the final battle. Several endings overlap based on the interactions between the characters, and many even serve as {{Sequel Hook}}s for future games:

* Franchise/DragonAge'':
** In the endings to VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' and ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition Inquisition]]'', you're treated to a slide show detailing the further fate of your party members, allies, and factions based on to your decisions in the game. ''Inquisition'' is even given an updated epilogue with the ''Trespasser'' expansion, which concludes the game.
