Fictional crossovers in video games

A gaming crossover (short: crossover) occurs when otherwise separated fictional characters, stories, settings, universes, or media in a video game meet and interact with each other. These may exist as a gimmick if two separate games in question are developed by the same company. Otherwise, they may exist as a gag from a rival company.

The following is a list of games in which crossovers appear in either the form of a cameo of any kind, a guest character, or the theme of "crossover" in general in a video game itself:

First and Second-party crossovers

This includes crossovers and cameos of characters from games owned by one company and close affiliates.

Major Crossover

A character from another First or Second party franchise appears as a playable character or boss in the game.

Third-party crossovers

This includes games which have crossovers from two or more separate companies.

Comic book/video game crossovers

Video games that have comic book franchise characters encountering or facing off against other comic book franchise characters or third-party video game characters in a crossover video game or as a guest character in a third-party video game include:

Cartoon/video game crossovers

Video games that have cartoon franchise characters encountering or facing off against other cartoon franchise characters or video game characters in a crossover video game or as a guest character in a third-party video game include:

Manga/anime crossovers

Notes

  1. Developed by Capcom.
  2. Developed by Namco.
  3. Nissan revoked their licensing rights for the Sileighty from Initial D: Street Stage and Initial D Arcade Stage 4 (where it was branded as "Initial D") onwards, and re-licensing it as a Nissan vehicle in Gran Turismo 5 instead due to lack of the manufacturer for the Sileighty in earlier Gran Turismo games.
