No Canon for the Wicked	comment	In many a video game with Multiple Endings (and, in the majority of RPG cases, a Karma Meter), the "good" ending will be the canonical one. Rarely will the "bad" ending be canonical, or the "bad" side actually canonically win. This may be because there is less appeal in a Downer Ending, or simply because having the villains win wouldn't be financially conducive (because it would probably end the series right then and there). It may be necessary for the sake of having the protagonists of the first entry be recurring characters. In any case, much as the "bad" side rarely gets its own campaign, it often doesn't get its canonical ending. Take note; when this trope is averted or inverted, it can serve a discrete narrative purpose: If Evil wins, Good can come back next time and vanquish the enemy even from a position of weakness. From a player's perspective, it makes previous (righteous) efforts less meaningful, but makes winning his current battle more rewarding. Sometimes a subtrope of Cutting Off the Branches. Examples

No Canon for the Wicked / int_11fd6993	comment	In inFAMOUS, Cole is canonically a hero, though inFAMOUS 2 allows you to play starting from a karma based on your previous runthrough, starting you halfways into the karmic rank you inherited and changing the dialogue in later dead drops. inFAMOUS: Second Son, on the other hand, clearly follows from the hero ending of inFAMOUS 2. It's worth noting that this is precisely because an immense majority of players of inFAMOUS 2 were noted from trophy data as favoring the hero ending.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_147dfd83	comment	PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale features two versions of Cole MacGrath from inFAMOUS as playable fighters with differing movesets in the base game, one "good", one "evil". On top of giving players two hugely different playstyle options with the two takes on Cole, the decision to treat both Good and Evil Cole as equally valid pays homage to their home series' central theme of duality, particularly in terms of how the player can affect the moral character of Cole with the choices they make for him.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_1670bd19	comment	The very best ending of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has the protagonist stopping the plans of the Big Bad faction, the C-Consciousness, by shooting them in their stasis pods in a secret laboratory located at the very center of the Zone. With their elimination, this act effectively prevented their further conquests of the Zone and potentially of the entire world. After that, the protagonist escapes their secret lab via an offscreen teleportation panel and is next seen being in a meadow. As the weather improves, he rests and thinks to himself whether or not he did the right thing and muses that he is glad to have survived. Call of Pripyat, the sequel to Shadow of Chernobyl, shows that he actually made things worse with the forced elimination of the C-Consciousness as the Zone has turned feral and caused emissions to occur on a daily basis. The new protagonist is tasked to investigate some grisly events in the Zone and sort them out while the previous protagonist, the Marked One (AKA Strelok), has become an NPC who somewhat atones for his actions in the previous game and wants to share his choicest knowledge of what he collected during his time in the Zone.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	The "evil" ending for Might and Magic VII was originally intended to be canonical by the game developers, but they ended up going with the "good" one, instead. The reason for the change was that the evil ending was planned to lead up to Armageddon's Blade, but a very negative reaction from part of the fanbase to some of things planned (a new cybernetic faction based on the technology gained by the evil side) led to that having to be scrapped in favour of a more standard fantasy story.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_1af341a1	comment	Disgaea always uses the Good Endings, since the Bad Endings tends to be... really, really bad. Also, the Good Ending ensures that all the important characters are alive and well so they can make cameo appearances in the following games. In fact, most of the Nippon Ichi games do this, with three exceptions: La Pucelle Tactics and Phantom Brave only have one ending but Prier being an overlord is canon, and Makai Kingdom's story is never resolved, because Zetta always appears in his book form. Until Disgaea 4, that is. Interestingly, while almost all Disgaea games work from the good endings, both Prinny PSP games work from the Neutral ending of Disgaea, where Laharl gives up his life to save Flonne and is turned into a Prinny, with Etna taking his place as the Overlord.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_1d8df2cf	comment	Though not a game sequel per se, the School Days anime series is worth mentioning for choosing to base its ending after two of the game's violently bad endings for its personal canon: "To My Child" (in which Sekai kills Makoto) and "Bloody End" (in which Kotonoha kills Sekai). In a weird twist, however, the resulting "combined" Bad Ending is significantly less tragic than those endings are in the game, as Makoto and Sekai are much nicer people in the game than in the anime.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_1e6653ca	comment	Done with little subtlety in The Neverhood, where you can make a choice between Good and Evil at the very end of the game. The fact that the Good ending is the true one is already very obvious just through the sheer length difference between the two final cutscenes, but the Actionized Sequel Skullmonkeys explicitly starts from the Good ending, though not without a twist: the Big Bad, whom you'd presume to be dead, survives and continues his evildoings on another planet, requiring you to get rid of him again.

This continues in the Zero Hour expansion. This, interestingly, doesn't quite lead to a straight-up bad ending where the GLA wins, but it doesn't lead into the typical sort of ending where America wins, either - they get attacked on their own soil and pull out of the conflict entirely, leaving China to crush the GLA and become the dominant superpower.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_33dd1d90	comment	Half-Life 2 runs with the idea that you have chosen to join forces with G-Man instead of going for the Doomed Moral Victor scenario at the end of the first Half-Life. This makes sense, as the first is the one that lets the player character be alive for the sequel, but neither can really be said to be a "good" ending, as it is the result of a Sadistic Choice. Some fans have argued that either works, since we never actually experience Freeman's death and the G-Man could just be messing with him to prove a point. This would be consistent with the gameplay and story theme that 'The One Free Man' doesn't really have any choices, and simply goes the only way the world seems to allow him. In a more amusing aversion, near the end of Episode Two, it's shown that Gordon ruining someone's lunch in the first game by leaving it in the microwave too long is canon (it was Magnusson's). Also, everyone considers Gordon to be the hero of Black Mesa in HL2 and the Episodes, the game not acknowledging that he very well could have killed more scientists and guards than the alien invasion without real repercussion. In particular, Eli Vance claims to be the scientist that sends Gordon to call for aid immediately after the resonance cascade, even though you can kill him (which the video jokingly uses as proof that Half-Life 2 itself is non-canon).

Importing an old save allows you to start from the good or evil ending, and beating the game allows you to choose which to start from on future playthroughs. Which ending you begin from does have an effect on what happens in the rest of the game.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_367f632a	comment	Dawn of War: Winter Assault features four possible endings: Imperial Guard, Eldar, Chaos, and Orks. Dark Crusade goes with the Eldar canonically winning, as Taldeer still alive and in command while she explicitly dies in any other ending, Gorgutz is alive but references having been defeated, and the Imperium is after Taldeer for her actions in that game. The Only War sourcebook fully confirms this when it reveals that the Eldar won on Lorn V and that Sturnn, the Imperial Guard commander, was killed by them. While none of the factions involved in Winter Assault were good, the Eldar were by far the least asshole-ish of the four, making their canonical victory an example of this trope. The Dark Crusade and Soulstorm campaigns possess seven and nine potential endings respectively. Dawn of War II states that the Blood Ravens won the former, and loading screens in Dawn of War III reveal that Soulstorm was canonically won by Warboss Gorgutz and his Orks. Though considering how notorious anything in Warhammer 40,000 is with unreliable narrators, neither of these statements are exactly reliable. In the sequel, Retribution makes one of the two 'purest' endings from Chaos Rising the canon one: Diomedes is alive and joined Gabriel's rebellion, Avitus is revealed as the traitor, and Cyrus and Martellus are playable squadmates during the Space Marine campaign, while Davian Thule and Jonah Orion make cameos, Tarkus is revealed to be The Ancient, and the Force Commander's Thunder Hammer is one of the ultimate weapons. The evil endings for Chaos Rising includes the entire party being sent on penitent crusades, the execution of the Force Commander (the player) and his name being struck from the Chapter in disgrace, and the whole group betraying their chapter and joining the Black Legion. None of the three would allow for the above to happen. Dawn of War III reveals that Ronahn recovered Taldeer's spirit stone, meaning that the Eldar won in Retribution. However, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine has a character referencing the Blood Ravens' victory in the "Aurelian campaign", and a rebuilt Gabriel Angelos is the Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens in III, which only happens in the Space Marine ending, suggesting that the true ending was a composite of those two. The surest thing is that Chaos and the Tyranids definitely lost.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_37b56f7	comment	Baldur's Gate II: Implied. Right at the begninning, it was established as canon that during the first game you traveled with what was a good-aligned party: Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Jaheira (actually neutral but practically behaving as an agent of goodness) and Khalid. Recurrent evil characters like Edwin and Viconia are met later with dialogues suggesting that they traveled with the protagonist only for a short time. The game series is designed so that good characters and evil characters are unlikely to stick together for a long time before turning on each other, and they will quickly leave if the party reputation goes the opposite side of their alignment, that is, you wouldn't travel with good characters if you did evil actions. The fact that the canon party of the first game is good implies that at least the journey was non-evil. Baldur's Gate III continues the trend as it's established that Viconia left the party after antagonizing Minsc & Boo, and Edwin is only mentioned by him once in passing. The interquel expansion Siege of Dragonspear for the Enhanced Edition of the first game tries to avert this by setting up a campaign which ends with the aforementioned canon party joining you for plot reasons, regardless of how you behaved in the new adventure and whatever happened during the base first game. In Siege of Dragonspear it is also possible to choose dialogues that state that it is the first time you meet Minsc and Dynaheir (possibly also Jaheira and Khalid although less evident), so it's no more mandatory that they canon-wise traveled with you from bg1.

In its sequel Metroid Fusion, the "good" ending is the canon one, since the Etecoons and Dachora (confirmed by Samus's narration to be the same ones from Super) appear aboard the B.S.L. station and are relevant to the game's plot.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_49ad83ee	comment	It was never made completely clear which campaign of the Warcraft II expansion Beyond the Dark Portal was canonical, until World of Warcraft's The Burning Crusade allowed players to enter Outland and meet the Alliance heroes there (thus confirming that the Alliance campaign was the one that happened). Some elements of the orc campaign are included: Teron Gorefiend's raids, the Warsong, and a fraction of the Shattered Hand clans left behind on Azeroth and Ner'zhul's escape. Conversely, some of the Alliance campaign is, through retcons, not included. In fact, the Alliance campaign ends with the narrative that Kadghar led their remains through one of the new portals in the hope of finding their homeworld again, yet none of this seems to have happened in the Burning Crusade. All in all, a mixture of the two seems to have happened. In the novelization, the Alliance heroes do leave through a portal, but almost immediately return to the broken remnant of Draenor.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_526d4c5c	comment	Both Knights of the Old Republic games canonically have light side endings. Thus far this only matters for the Star Wars canon outside of the games, though — and even then this is mostly theoretical for the sake of official timelines and such (all actual narrative media, like the KotOR comics, have left the events of the games ambiguous). In the games themselves, KotOR II allows you to decide whether the Light or Dark ending happened in KotOR I, and The Old Republic, taking place centuries after KotOR II, permits a similar level of ambiguity about both games. It seems that no matter what you do, the galaxy keeps reverting to a basic Crapsack World state. Interestingly enough the Dark Side KOTOR ending came pretty close to overwriting the canon LS ending and averting this with a deleted scene produced for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where Dave Filoni wanted Revan to appear with Darth Bane as advisers of The Son in the Mortis trilogy, but the idea was shot down by George Lucas, through models for the Sith Lords were made. Had Filoni succeeded in implementing this idea, it could have overturned the canon LS ending in KotOR and created an aversion of the Light Side canon rule. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the events of Knights of the Old Republic don't usually come up very often (since those games took place three centuries before the MMO), but when they do, the first game's Player Character and the Exile were Light side (Revan, for example, helped the outcasts on Taris get to the Promised Land).

Space Invaders in particular dodges this issue by having the various "sequels" and spin-offs not actually take place in the same "continuity" as the original — in one of the sillier ones, the original is a Video Game in-story that inspired the aliens.

From what is mentioned in-game, Panchaea was destroyed but David Sarif survived. Hugh Darrow and William Taggart are implied to have died, with the "Taggart Act" limiting the production of augmentations.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_59a835fb	comment	Sonic Adventure 2 uses selective editing to make both sides' endings true: the Dark Story ends with Eggman seeming to have accomplished his goal, but zooms in to a warning message that he ignores, which, in the Hero Story, is shown to be because Sonic sabotaged his plans at the last minute. Of course, both plans lead into the Last Story where Eggman fails to take over the world, so in the end this trope is in fact used. The reason why both the Hero and Dark endings are canon is because there is The Man Behind the Man who wishes to destroy the world whereas Eggman simply wants to take it over. Both sides cooperate to stop his plans. In other words, the Dark characters accomplish their goals, but those goals changed drastically from when the story began.

The spin-off, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, has both a Light and Dark ending, which like Dark Forces II features an identical set of missions, but with more effort put into differentiating the endings - the Dark Side ending has both the Jedi and the Disciples of Ragnos fighting you, and you get different cutscenes and a different Final Boss. Word of God is that the Light ending is canonical, which is where the novels starring Jaden Korr follow from.

In Silent Hill 4, however, Henry will remark that his landlord, Frank Sunderland, claims his son (i.e. James, the protagonist from the second game) never returned from Silent Hill, but it's never made clear whether that means James canonically suffered a Bad Ending or just lost contact after leaving Silent Hill with Laura in the Good Ending, mirroring Harry going into hiding with baby Cheryl and giving them new identities in the Good Ending of the first game.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_6bef8832	comment	Implied. Right at the begninning, it was established as canon that during the first game you traveled with what was a good-aligned party: Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Jaheira (actually neutral but practically behaving as an agent of goodness) and Khalid. Recurrent evil characters like Edwin and Viconia are met later with dialogues suggesting that they traveled with the protagonist only for a short time. The game series is designed so that good characters and evil characters are unlikely to stick together for a long time before turning on each other, and they will quickly leave if the party reputation goes the opposite side of their alignment, that is, you wouldn't travel with good characters if you did evil actions. The fact that the canon party of the first game is good implies that at least the journey was non-evil. Baldur's Gate III continues the trend as it's established that Viconia left the party after antagonizing Minsc & Boo, and Edwin is only mentioned by him once in passing.

The stories for Devo, Midler, Chaka, Alessi, Vanilla Ice, and Dio are totally made up and don't follow the manga at all. Iggy, Avdol, and both of Kakyoin's endings are not even remotely canon, and neither is Black Polnareff or Khan's. The other villains' endings are just throwaway scenes loosely based on the manga. Young Joseph (the 1938 version of him from the second part of the manga) is strictly a "what if"; it starts with an encounter between him and Alessi which never happened. The ONLY trustworthy endings are that of Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff; not coincidentally, the only three who are still alive and in reasonably good health at the end of Stardust Crusaders.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_718f3ed1	comment	Call of Duty: Black Ops II has three primary endings: if Raul Menendez is killed in the final mission, Cordis Die rises up to overthrow the superpowers; if Menendez is captured, but Chloe Lynch dies or is not rescued, he breaks free in a year's time, kills the man he wants revenge on, then kills himself; and if Menedez is captured and Lynch survives, his plan to break free is stopped in its tracks by Lynch. Black Ops III doesn't have enough details in its own story to determine which happened, but supplementary material reveals that Menendez being killed rather than captured was actually the canon ending - it just didn't lead to any sort of uprising because of the cowardly nature of his death (trying to escape US custody by disguising as a US soldier and escaping in the chaos), causing Cordis Die to splinter. One side-effect of is that it's also not actually confirmed if Alex Mason, the protagonist of the first Call of Duty: Black Ops, survived the events of the "Suffer With Me" mission in Black Ops II, since his survival is independent of that of Menendez and Lynch, and only changes one scene that plays in the ending regardless of which primary one you get.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_76376304	comment	Metro 2033 had two endings; a good one, and a bad one. The sequel, Metro: Last Light, averts the trope by continuing on the bad ending where Artyom chose to nuke the dark ones. It makes sense, since it's the same way the book the game is based on ended, but it's also kind of a Broken Aesop, since the bad ending basically told you how much of a douche you were, since the entire game was determined to avoid that ending. Played straight with the ending of Last Light, if Metro Exodus is anything to go by. You're playing as Artyom once again, which nullifies the "bad ending" of Last Light where he dies in a Heroic Sacrifice. Played straight again in the ending of Metro Exodus, which again has two endings. The Sam's Story DLC which takes place after the game confirms that the good ending is canon since Artyom is still alive. He dies of radiation poisoning in the bad ending due to not having enough members of the Aurora still available to give him a blood transfusion.

The multiple endings are nodded to in the second game, as you find a group of splicers arguing over what Jack did at the end of his journey; neither of them reach a conclusion that they can agree on. Bioshock Infinite demonstrates the existence of multiple universes, so technically every ending is canon in some reality.

However, there's also an expansion that is a "What If?" story taking place right after the Dark ending, where Starkiller takes Vader's place in events from the movies up to the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, ending at the point where Starkiller manages to turn Luke to the Dark Side and takes him as his apprentice. Intriguingly, the Dark Side ending for its sequel is more plausibly canon than the Light, due to the third installment being canceled. The dark-side ending ties up the loose ends of the main characters' fates by killing everyone specific to the games, whereas the light-side ending is a massive cliffhanger (Darth Vader captured by the Rebellion) that is completely incompatible with the EU.

Not only is the world still intact, having apparently repulsed the Skaven and Chaos invasions, but Kislev and Cathay are in such a good state - and Chaos in such a bad one - that the former two are actually invading the Chaos Wastes themselves, which is unprecedented (outside of small teams of heroes). This is particularly notable as Kislev is right on the border, thus if Chaos made any notable progress in the previous games, Kislev was sure to be wrecked. This trope is still played straight but in a different way by the ending - the game was a prequel to the first and second ones, and only in an Order victory ending do their set-ups make sense. The world isn't being scoured by the omnicidal Lizardmen or enslaved by the Naggarothi Dark Elves either, further confirming that the High Elves won the Vortex Campaign. It's also worth noting that Order's campaigns in 1 and 2 are all compatible with one another (i.e. all of them could - and likely did - happen together). Meanwhile the forces of Chaos, Destruction, and Death all have mutually exclusive victory conditions, for obvious reasons.note In the first game's Grand Campaign, the Empire and Dwarf subfactions all share the common victory condition of killing Archaon and destroying his armies. On top of this, the Empire has to exterminate the Sylvanian Vampire Counts, while the Dwarfs have to exterminate the strongest Greenskins subfactions, in the World's Edge Mountains. The Bretonnians only have to obtain 2,000 Chivalry (easily earned by taking out all the local threats) and complete a scripted Errantry War final battle against the other Greenskins factions, in the Badlands. The Wood Elves only have to aid the planet's health by getting the Oak of Ages to its highest level (can be done through wiping out various threats in their section of the map) and smack around the Chaos-aligned Beastmen by repulsing their invasions and winning a scripted final battle in which they kill all of the Beastmen subfaction leaders. In the second game's Vortex Campaign, the High Elves on their own island of Ulthuan have to repulse the Skaven and Chaos invasions and fix the Vortex with their rituals, which will inevitably involve kicking in the faces of the main Skaven and Dark Elf subfactions on Naggaroth. Also in the Vortex Campaign, the Chevaliers de Lyonesse have to gain another 2,000 Chivalry and win their own scripted Errantry War battle in the Southlands (this time against the Followers of Nagash at their own Black Pyramid) while the Huntmarshal's Expedition has to sack the main Lizardman capital in Lustria and wipe out a specific Lizardman subfaction in because of its in-universe hostility to the Empire (which would also be helpful to the High Elves, who have to fight a Lizardman attack as part of their final battle). Finally, the Heralds of Ariel wipe out the Skaven subfaction Moulder in Naggaroth, complete the Rituals of Rebirth, and win their scripted final battle, which involves sealing another portal through which Chaos could invade the world in the Witchwood. In other words, each Order faction's goal wins a different theater of the world war.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_92b530e0	comment	The first Gabriel Knight game has three possible endings; Gabriel dies in both the "neutral" and "bad" endings. Considering that there are two sequels and plans for a third, it's pretty clear which ending is canon. The second game in the series includes a Nonstandard Game Over if you screw up a task at a specific point near the finale, revealing that Gabriel dies, and Grace is arrested on suspicion of murder. Once again, this clearly bears no relation to series canon.

Trilobyte claims that had they gone on to do a third game, it would've been an alternate sequel to The 7th Guest rather than a sequel to The 11th Hour where the player won the final battle against Stauf — and thus been less of an unrelentingly dark game and also, possibly, given us some actual character development of the eponymous character in The 7th Guest (who would have again been the protagonist of the third game).

The sequel Heroes of Might and Magic III, however, counts the good side as canon. Heroes I tells us the Warlocks and Barbarians are Evil, and the Knights and Sorceresses are Good. The canonical victor is the Knight Lord Ironfist. Of course, the actual story is a bit barebones, and the only major chunk is in the manual... which doesn't exactly present Lord Ironfist as an unambiguously Good Guy.

While it's canonical that Erika dies in her duel with Rentar-Ihrno, there is a much harder way to win the game, that preserves her life.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Averted in Daggerfall. The game has seven mutually exclusive endings depending on which party you choose to give the MacGuffin to. While Gray-and-Grey Morality applies, certain parties are clearly darker than others. However, as revealed in later games, all of the game's endings occurred due to a Cosmic Retcon Time Crash caused by the activation of the Reality Warping Numidium, though in Broad Strokes fashion, none to the same extent as they would have individually. For example, instead of one political power dominating the region, the dozens of city states merged into four with all still under the banner of the Empire. Mannimarco successfully ascended to godhood, but in a rather minor station,note Some texts even claim that he was later restored to mortality while also leaving a "mortal" version behind who leads the cult that worships the god version. Numidium doesn't go on a Tamriel-destroying rampage, but is rendered forever non-functional through unexplained means. Essentially, Daggerfall averts this trope by making all of the endings, including the "wicked" ones, canon. For the rest of the series, this is largely averted through ambiguity. Subsequent games assume that the main quest storylines of the previous games were completed (though not necessarily by the same person), but anything optional (including most faction questlines) is left ambiguous. One major exception to this comes in Skyrim, where it's heavily implied that the Champion of Cyrodiil, Player Character of Oblivion, participated in the events of the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood storylines before eventually becoming Sheogorath through the Shivering Isles expansion. One minor case: In Morrowind, one of the Nerevarine's options for becoming Hortator of House Telvanni is simply to wipe out all the other Councilors and grant yourself the title once there's no one to vote against you. In the Dragonborn expansion of Skyrim, one of those potentially murdered Councilors, one Master Neloth, is a major character. Clearly the Nerevarine chose a less bloody route to the top.

In addition, there are a number of triggers that affect the final cutscene.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_a796bde8	comment	Metal Gear Solid had two endings, both of which were congruent with Snake's character. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty avoided talking about which ending was canon as much as possible; it wrote out the character whose life depended on the Good Ending except for a bitter joke Snake makes about her. The on-disk supplemental material even implied both endings — "The Shocking Conspiracy Behind Shadow Moses" says the Intrepid Reporter finds a bandana on the beach (which Meryl picked up and gave to Snake in the Good Ending, suggesting she didn't survive to find it), and "In The Darkness Behind Shadow Moses" omits the scene where Meryl's fate is decided, but has the narrator say that it seemed like he had managed to save Meryl at the end. Then came Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, showing her alive. To make it even more ambiguous, the first thing we see Snake do is jump onto a ship using invisibility camo, which is what you get from the ending where Meryl dies. But then near the end of the game, when Snake offers to give Raiden ammo if he runs out and Raiden asks whether he'll have enough, Snake points to his headband and notes "infinite ammo" - a bandana which grants Bottomless Magazines being the item which Snake gets in the ending where Meryl survives. If anything, the game seems to work under the assumption that, since the player probably played through the game at least twice to get every ending, then that means Snake somehow had to have done so as well.

For the final set, Wizards of the Coast previously released two logos, set symbols, and titles for each side, to prevent spoiling who would win — the Mirrans would have Mirrodin Pure, and the Phyrexians New Phyrexia, with one set being fake and the other to become canon.

Depending on how you see it, Rock Howard's ending in Garou: Mark of the Wolves (currently the final game in the Fatal Fury series) has him doing something of a Faceâ€“Heel Turn when Kain R. Heinlein reveals himself to be the younger brother of Rock's dearly departed mother, Marie (yes, Kain is Rock's Evil Uncle, although the "evil" is more so due to him being an ambitious, Social Darwinistic Dark Messiah) and hints that Marie may be not quite as dead as Rock thought when enlisting his nephew's aid. Terry, wanting Rock to be his own man, does not stop his adopted son from choosing this path. According to Garou: Memories of Stray Wolves (Part 1, Part 2), a bonus featurette created for the 15th anniversary of Fatal Fury, this ending is canon.

The game is divided into several chapters, most of which follow Blood Covered's final Wrong Ending, where Satoshi suffers a "Groundhog Day" Loop back to when they performed the ritual and is forced to return to Heavenly Host. Things play out differently this second time through, as some of the other survivors gradually recover their memories. This is treated as an Alternate Timeline. Other chapters are set during the events of Blood Covered, giving certain characters A Day in the Limelight — and, in one instance, A Death in the Limelight, revealing the events that lead up to her death in one of the longer Wrong Ending paths. Only the game's final, unlockable chapter follows the prior game's true ending, with a major Sequel Hook.

This is understandable in the case of the first game's worst ending, where Havelock kills Emily and the entire empire collapses, but makes for something of a Happy Ending Override if the player opts for a High Chaos playthrough in the second game.

This is also true of the Tiberium Wars Scrin campaign, unlocked after completing the other two. The Tiberium Wars expansion pack Kane's Wrath actually inverts the trope, with a Nod-only singleplayer campaign. The Red Alert timeline plays it straight throughout, though.

The whole game is essentially a sequel to XCOM games the players lost. Word of God specifies the divergence point at the Base Defence mission, with the Commander being captured in XCOM 2's version, leading to XCOM's collapse.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_d8c462f3	comment	Warhammer: The End Times is an inversion: canon overridden for the wicked. The forces of Chaos kept losing campaigns with player-determined results, including the earlier Storm of Chaos, which ended in Archaon's hordes being repulsed before they even took down the Empire. Thus the rights holders created the End Times event distinct from the SOC timeline timeline (the latter in which three editions of the war game, dozens of novels, several games, and most editions of the RPG were explicitly set), which ended in Chaos destroying the world and killing the vast majority of people in the "good guy" races. The survivors fled into new realms and rebuilt, setting the stage for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_dab32e3	comment	The Mega Man X series may be the ultimate aversion: Every subsequent game has assumed the worst possible ending from the prior game if it had multiple endings note except for X2, up until Mega Man X6 where Zero did not seal himself away after all. This was done mainly so people could still play as Zero. And even on X6, the bad ending was supposed to be canon; it was just retconned so the series could continue.

Shadow Hearts: From The New World, meanwhile, likely goes from the good ending of Covenant, which is a Reset Button Ending, that in turn makes Shadow Hearts have the good ending. In other words, From the New World follows the good ending of Shadow Hearts while foregoing Covenant entirely, or at least has its events in Broad Strokes.

The future games all assume you destroyed it. Some fans have noted, though, that Ultima: Ascension (note the lack of number in its title) works better as a sequel to the Evil Ending of Ultima VII than as a sequel to Ultima VIII.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_e5da0fa0	comment	Myst has four possible endings: You get trapped in the red book after freeing Sirrus; you get trapped in the blue book after freeing Achenar; you go to Atrus without the vital white page, whereupon he denounces your stupidity and never speaks to you again; you go to Atrus and give him the white page, he thanks you for your help, and he informs you that he will be calling on you in the future. At the beginning of Riven, you're face to face with Atrus, who welcomes you like an old friend and sets you off on your new quest. It has five possible endings: You trap yourself in the prison book, and later Gehn's servant unwittingly frees you in front of Gehn, who immediately kills you for your treachery; you trap Gehn and then for some unfathomable reason trap yourself and free him, which of course spells your doom; you fail/refuse to trap Gehn and open the fissure, whereupon he kills Atrus and his servant kills you; you trap Gehn but fail/refuse to free Catherine and open the fissure, and Atrus grieves for her for the rest of his life; you trap Gehn and free Catherine and open the fissure, and Atrus has a joyous reunion with her. The last ending is the only one in which Catherine escapes Riven with her life. At the beginning of Exile, the very first person you meet is a cheerful Catherine.

The Sam's Story DLC which takes place after the game confirms that the good ending is canon since Artyom is still alive.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_ea91a4bf	comment	Averted in Daggerfall. The game has seven mutually exclusive endings depending on which party you choose to give the MacGuffin to. While Gray-and-Grey Morality applies, certain parties are clearly darker than others. However, as revealed in later games, all of the game's endings occurred due to a Cosmic Retcon Time Crash caused by the activation of the Reality Warping Numidium, though in Broad Strokes fashion, none to the same extent as they would have individually. For example, instead of one political power dominating the region, the dozens of city states merged into four with all still under the banner of the Empire. Mannimarco successfully ascended to godhood, but in a rather minor station,note Some texts even claim that he was later restored to mortality while also leaving a "mortal" version behind who leads the cult that worships the god version. Numidium doesn't go on a Tamriel-destroying rampage, but is rendered forever non-functional through unexplained means. Essentially, Daggerfall averts this trope by making all of the endings, including the "wicked" ones, canon.

No Canon for the Wicked / int_ef661e97	comment	Just about any fighting game character ever who qualified as a villain. It's so blatant, in fact, that the moment you see it, you know right away that it's not going to stick. M.Bison takes over the world ("of COURSE!")...uh, no. Fulgore spearheads Ultratech's enslavement of humanity...come on. Heihachi kills both Kazuya and Jin...he wishes. The Orochi cultists finally succeed in reviving him...not. Raiden's buddies didn't blow up the planet, either. When it tried to stay in its niche as Darker and Edgier, Mortal Kombat became more of a mixed case: The canon ending in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was Reptile's - he became the host for the next game's Big Bad. Neither of the main villains took over the world like they wanted, but the next game does establish that none of their evil deeds were undone: Liu Kang remained dead, and most of the other heroes wound up joining him (though they were all resurrected as slaves of other villains). And apparently, after Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Shao Kahn winds up killing just about everyone and taking over the cosmos, forcing Raiden to invoke the Timey-Wimey Ball and create a Continuity Reboot: Mortal Kombat 9, which averts the trope two ways by both having a single Story mode and concluding it with a very harsh Bittersweet Ending; the Arcade mode gives each character an ending, some good and some bad, but none of them are canon as the sequel follows on from 9's Story mode. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future is a doozy. The stories for Devo, Midler, Chaka, Alessi, Vanilla Ice, and Dio are totally made up and don't follow the manga at all. Iggy, Avdol, and both of Kakyoin's endings are not even remotely canon, and neither is Black Polnareff or Khan's. The other villains' endings are just throwaway scenes loosely based on the manga. Young Joseph (the 1938 version of him from the second part of the manga) is strictly a "what if"; it starts with an encounter between him and Alessi which never happened. The ONLY trustworthy endings are that of Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff; not coincidentally, the only three who are still alive and in reasonably good health at the end of Stardust Crusaders.

Dawn of War II states that the Blood Ravens won the former, and loading screens in Dawn of War III reveal that Soulstorm was canonically won by Warboss Gorgutz and his Orks. Though considering how notorious anything in Warhammer 40,000 is with unreliable narrators, neither of these statements are exactly reliable.

However, the 0% corruption "good" ending is not enforced either. As only two corrupt actions in the original contradict the sequel, the canon Overlord could be anywhere between 0-80% corrupt.

Heinlein reveals himself to be the younger brother of Rock's dearly departed mother, Marie (yes, Kain is Rock's Evil Uncle, although the "evil" is more so due to him being an ambitious, Social Darwinistic Dark Messiah) and hints that Marie may be not quite as dead as Rock thought when enlisting his nephew's aid. Terry, wanting Rock to be his own man, does not stop his adopted son from choosing this path. According to Garou: Memories of Stray Wolves (Part 1, Part 2), a bonus featurette created for the 15th anniversary of Fatal Fury, this ending is canon.
