Bonus content in a Video Game (and RPGs in particular) that is available during the final chapter, but is not unlocked until you have defeated the Final Boss and watched the credits roll. These games will often prompt the player to update their save file after the end credits, often displaying a special icon with the file to indicate the game has been cleared. This differs from a Playable Epilogue in that the Playable Epilogue is set after the final chapter has concluded, and acknowledges that you've saved the world; an Endgame Plus returns the player to the world as it looked during the final chapter, with the Big Bad still waiting for his ultimate plan to come to its final fruition, and the player standing just before the Point of No Return or outside The Very Definitely Final Dungeon to throw that critical Spanner in the Works and Save the World. Which makes it odd that you're going off and exploring postgame content at the climax of the big bad's plan. This is distinct from games that unlock bonus content via an "Extras" option on its frontend menu; here, the bonus content is something accessible in-universe, like a bonus shop, minigame, or dungeon...or even just clothes. The exact bonuses may or may not be immediately obvious when the player reloads their completed save file — but hey, Take Your Time.... Note that games featuring a level select screen cannot exemplify this easily, because they allow the player to re-play any segment of the game at any time. A form of Extended Gameplay. See also New Game Plus, where reloading the completed save file restarts the entire game over with added bonus features. Both of them are subtropes of Post-End Game Content. Examples |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Reloading the autosave after defeating the final boss will drop Link back outside the boss room, keeping the photos that might have been taken for the Compendium and marking the save file with a star icon. It also adds a counter to all three quest menus, showing how many in the world are left. The world map also gains a percentage completed counter showcasing how much of everything you found in the game. | |

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years has End Chapter Plus - each of the nine character chapters is self-contained (in the Mobile and Wii versions, they even have their own credit rolls), but beating each one gives access to a Challenge Dungeon that gives you more things to level grind against and extra equipment. Since the final chapters pull data from the character chapters, this can be a huge boon. Each Challenge Dungeon can be entered at some point before the end of the respective chapter, plot-wise (significantly before in Yang's case), but you still must complete the chapter in order to access it. | |

After the credits roll in Breath of Fire IV the game creates a "Clear Game" file, which resumes your saved game with an added bonus shop (with rare items) run by two characters from Breath of Fire III. The Final Boss is still waiting for you to challenge him (and any items stolen off him during the final battle are yours to keep). | |

In inFAMOUS 2, after completing the game, the timeline rewinds to just before the final mission so that you can continue playing in the sandbox and mopping up side missions and Blast Shards. After all, in one ending Cole is dead along with all the other Conduits and in the other Cole joins the Beast and destroys New Marais to activate all of the Conduits. | |

DemiKids gave you three options after fighting the final boss, letting you do this, go to a Playable Epilogue, or a New Game Plus. The Endgame Plus option puts you directly before fighting the final boss, with a few extra bonuses. However, those bonuses are mostly there to help you kill time before choosing one of the other options, letting you restart the game or go to the true ending. | |

Soma Union: Unlike the predecessor which had New Game Plus, this game drops you back at just before the final boss and unlocks several extra bosses. However, beating the final boss on a clear save will simply send the player back to the title screen, since there is nothing to be gained from winning again. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Defeating the final boss and then reloading your file is the only way for the Fierce Deity's Mask to carry over into future cycles. Unusually, you don't keep it with you if you just play the Song of Time after receiving it. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Clearing the game reveals no obvious bonuses, but nonetheless unlocks a few collectible figurines for purchase, including those of the Final Boss. It also enables the player to acquire the Mirror Shield. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Reloading the autosave after defeating the final boss will drop Link back outside the boss room, keeping the photos that might have been taken for the Compendium and marking the save file with a star icon. It also adds a counter to all three quest menus, showing how many in the world are left. The world map also gains a percentage completed counter showcasing how much of everything you found in the game. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes the same approach as Breath of the Wild, reloading right outside the final boss chamber, marking the save file with a star, adding a counter to the quest menus, etc. It also adds a character profile for Ganondorf. |

Final Fantasy VI's Advance version unlocks the Dragon's Den upon completion, which features ultimate weapons for all the characters, and the Czar Dragon, the most powerful enemy in the game. You have to split into 3 parties and switch between them to cover the various traps and puzzles. This is also a minor case of Guide Dang It!, as the dragons inside can be weak or strong against very specific abilities that only certain characters can have, so you need to strategize and choose your parties carefully. | |

Pokémon While the mainstream Pokémon games generally utilize a Playable Epilogue, in the original Pokémon Red and Blue titles, the rewards for becoming the Pokemon League Champion were limited to a "Hall of Fame" option on the PC and access to one Bonus Dungeon near Cerulean City; no one else even acknowledged the fact that the player beat the Elite Four and The Rival. The non-mainstream Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness both use this trope: Defeating the final boss unlocks new areas, new sidequests, and other bonuses you'd expect in a postgame, but the NPCs refuse to acknowledge that you saved the world (You can refight the final bosses, with their stolen Shadow Pokémon mysteriously replaced).

Though you could also fight four bosses from Mega Man Zero 3 and 4 if you had spare copies of those games, and get the armor that way. Advent instead allows you to unlock a new room in the crashed Raider airship in the Oil Fields that (on certain months which can be cheesed by messing with the DS time settings), you can obtain unique equippable chips from. |

Final Fantasy The Game Boy Advance versions of Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI all have dungeons that open up after you beat the final boss. Within each dungeon is, among other things, the most powerful creatures in the game and the ultimate weapons for the characters. All three games allow you to defeat the final boss again with whatever new equipment and levels you gain from these as well. Final Fantasy IV opens up a bonus dungeon found on the surface of the moon, which features ramped-up versions of Rydia's monster summons, who you have to defeat to use, and an even more powerful version of the final boss, which also leads to the credits if you beat it. Final Fantasy V has a bonus dungeon that contains four brand new job classes never featured in previous versions to use and master. The classes themselves are quite powerful, and the abilities you earn from mastering them can be mix and matched with other job combinations, leading to some truly devastating combos against the final boss. For example, the Gladiator class has an ability that can result in 1 of three possibilities. You have a 1 in 3 chance of missing the target, 1 in 3 chance of dealing 3333 damage, and a 1 in 3 chance of hitting for 9999 damage regardless of the enemy's defenses. Final Fantasy VI's Advance version unlocks the Dragon's Den upon completion, which features ultimate weapons for all the characters, and the Czar Dragon, the most powerful enemy in the game. You have to split into 3 parties and switch between them to cover the various traps and puzzles. This is also a minor case of Guide Dang It!, as the dragons inside can be weak or strong against very specific abilities that only certain characters can have, so you need to strategize and choose your parties carefully. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years has End Chapter Plus - each of the nine character chapters is self-contained (in the Mobile and Wii versions, they even have their own credit rolls), but beating each one gives access to a Challenge Dungeon that gives you more things to level grind against and extra equipment. Since the final chapters pull data from the character chapters, this can be a huge boon. Each Challenge Dungeon can be entered at some point before the end of the respective chapter, plot-wise (significantly before in Yang's case), but you still must complete the chapter in order to access it. Final Fantasy XIII unlocks the last layer of the Crystarium for beating the final boss, but the story still rewinds to the point before your confrontation with him. You can then backtrace your steps to the beginning of the Very Definitely Final Dungeon and from there, to the locations you visited in chapters 11 and 12. This was probably done because Vanille and Fang are permanently crystallized at the end of the game, while the rest of the party are presumably de-powered, as they are no longer l'Cie. Final Fantasy XIII-2 allows you to "Lock" eras and replay the story from there (Required for 100% Completion in some instances). Plus, you unlock an era after the final boss (although the era in question is only really for fun). Final Fantasy XV gives you Chapter 15, which unlocks many new extra dungeons, a few sidequests, and the Regalia Type-F, the airship of the game. In Final Fantasy Tactics A2, beating the game unlocked certain missions and made is possible to unlock the last stage of Brightmoon Tor. |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Defeating the final boss and then reloading your file is the only way for the Fierce Deity's Mask to carry over into future cycles. Unusually, you don't keep it with you if you just play the Song of Time after receiving it. | |

Chrono Trigger (the DS version) allows you to access the dimensional vortexes. Beating all three of these gives you access to the True Final Boss, which is an "immature" form of the final boss in Chrono Cross. | |

Final Fantasy V has a bonus dungeon that contains four brand new job classes never featured in previous versions to use and master. The classes themselves are quite powerful, and the abilities you earn from mastering them can be mix and matched with other job combinations, leading to some truly devastating combos against the final boss. For example, the Gladiator class has an ability that can result in 1 of three possibilities. You have a 1 in 3 chance of missing the target, 1 in 3 chance of dealing 3333 damage, and a 1 in 3 chance of hitting for 9999 damage regardless of the enemy's defenses. | |

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time lets you finally put an end to Lord Vorselon's tyranny, after collecting the rest of the Zoni, of course. At least when you defeat him you get to explore the Insomniac Museum. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal has an aversion that is often played straight by way of the player: the ultimate Infernox armour is unlocked by visiting Mylon at the very end of the game... but the player is never told this and they'll often find out by continuing the save and returning to the Phoenix, or by entering Challenge Mode and finding it there. |

Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy: Every case (including the last one) has its own Endgame Plus. You can go back to the detective agency and return to solved cases at any time to look for puzzles, Hint Coins, or collectibles you missed (each screen even gains a counter showing how many puzzles or Hint Coins are still remaining to find). The story sets itself to just before you solved the case, so you can watch the case's ending again if you want. | |

The Mega Man Battle Network series does this in every game, following the trope description almost exactly, with the single exception of 4, which instead has New Game Plus and post game content on the 3rd playthrough. It also carried over to its pseudo-sequel series, Mega Man Star Force. One annoying thing about 4 and 6 in particular is that even after beating the game, the crisis music (which plays in the regular areas all the time during the last part of each game) doesn't stop. (Additionally, in 3, the entire internet is still drained of its color.) | |

Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates both utilize this.

Final Fantasy XIII unlocks the last layer of the Crystarium for beating the final boss, but the story still rewinds to the point before your confrontation with him. You can then backtrace your steps to the beginning of the Very Definitely Final Dungeon and from there, to the locations you visited in chapters 11 and 12. This was probably done because Vanille and Fang are permanently crystallized at the end of the game, while the rest of the party are presumably de-powered, as they are no longer l'Cie. | |

After the game reloads, you'll be at the point before CR-999 decides to reactivate Pandora. However, this time around, there'll be an NPC at your base who can help you build a part for Pandora that will allow her to overcome her flawed recognition systems. | |

Downplayed in Cyberpunk 2077: If you reach the ending credits while connected to GOG, the game instructs you to reload your last save before the Point of No Return in order to claim a special reward for beating the game. Because said reward is tied to your GOG account, however, the saves themselves aren't modified and playing offline doesn't award you with anything. Aside from that you carry over all of the unique gear that you got from the endgame, including an access card lootable from the Final Boss that allows you to get into an otherwise inaccessible supply cache. | |

Mega Man X: Command Mission lets you replay the final chapter over and over again, which allows you to power level your characters and save any items you find each time. You can also revisit any level in the game as well as fully explore your headquarters; in fact, completing the game at least once is a requirement for facing Ninetails. |

Clearing both stories in Kingdom Hearts 3D gives you access to rematches with every boss in the game, (all outfitted with enough HP to make Young Xehanort's eyes turn green), as well as providing access to Ultima Weapon and a battle with drumrrrrrroll: Julius! Yes, that Julius! The series' non-numbered titles have an unfortunate habit of keeping Ultima Weapon unavailable until after the Final Boss. | |

The Kingdom Hearts team likes this. Kingdom Hearts Re:coded gives you access to a number of things, including new shop items, the last chunk of your stat matrix, and the various new System Sectors. You can replay everything anyway, but the game does count you as being at the end of the last world. Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories has a complex version of this, where after you finish Sora's story you unlock Riku's, and after finishing Riku's you can get two new cards: one for invincibility and one to reload premium cards. Clearing both stories in Kingdom Hearts 3D gives you access to rematches with every boss in the game, (all outfitted with enough HP to make Young Xehanort's eyes turn green), as well as providing access to Ultima Weapon and a battle with drumrrrrrroll: Julius! Yes, that Julius! The series' non-numbered titles have an unfortunate habit of keeping Ultima Weapon unavailable until after the Final Boss. Clearing the Final Mix edition of Kingdom Hearts II grants Sora his final Drive level upgrade and unlocks End Game Plus if the player saves a Clear file. End Game Plus allows the player full access to battle all members of Organization XIII at the Cavern of Remembrance, save those whose Absent Silhouette they haven't defeated yet. The remaining Mushrooms are unlocked, as is an Optional Boss from a portal in Disney Castle. In this version of the game, this is also when the full Jiminy Journal is unlocked, with question marks for those entries you haven't completed yet. In HD II.5 Remix, it also unlocks Theatre Mode. |

Hollow Knight: Obtaining any ending boots the player back to the closest save point, with the Hunter's Journal entry for the relevant final boss(es) added to show completion. These are not required for maximum percent (112%) or the sidequest of "completing" the Hunter's Journal. The reason why there is no postgame is because every ending has the cause of the Infection either sealed or destroyed, which would eliminate most of the enemies in the game, while the player character themselves is either sealed or killed. | |

Tales of Xillia 2 unlocks the Bonus Dungeon of the game for loading a completed savefile, the ability to take on the Advanced rank of the battle arena and adds new requests to unlock, which includes the Cameo appearances. Said Bonus Dungeon also includes giving access to items required to craft the best weapons, unlocks the Cameo battle that includes a Gainax Ending to obtain for beating it and gives the player easier access to gaining money to pay off Ludger's debt and gain a Gainax Ending for that, too. Similar to the Final Fantasy example above, the point of return is necessary as the game ends with either protagonist Ludger or Elle dying. The game can be saved at any point and used for New Game Plus, at the same time. | |
