Top 20 Most Shocking Video Game Plot Twists Ever

Plot twist!: Sorry guys we accidentally put the wrong title, these are Shocking Plot Twists, not bad plot twists! Huge apologies and thanks for letting us know of the error.

Almost 2 years to the day that this video was posted, they posted another video with nearly the same premise. Combine the two videos together for a pretty comprehensive list

Baten Kaitos for the NGC deserves to be on this list, anyone who's played the game knows exactly what I'm talking about

what about the time wher at the end of metal gear rising revemgeamce.....we are the successor of Armstrong to take over the patriots

The truth behind Mari’s death
—OMORI (2020)

Arkham City two Joker's reveal?

What about Metal Gear Solid where Snake is fooled by Liquid (disguised as Master Miller) into activating Metal Gear REX. How did that not make it onto this list?

Wolf among us was surprising

Ah, Dead Space should have been #1. You missed the twist with the twist. Not only is Nicole dead but Isaac actually already KNOWS that she's dead and has chosen to deny/forget it. He's watched the vidcom countless times and there's simply NO WAY he didn't watch that video all the way through at some point. In fact, he probably watched it all the way through the first time. Isaac is already insane before he even even steps foot on the Ishimura.

The fact that "A Way Out" isn't mentioned is lunacy

sAAAAAAAAAns

sAAAAAAAAAns

Em far cry 5 nuke ending no

Should have putted fnaf

I'm surprised Aerith is that low

You can't escape; Soma. Unfortunately your character has to die twice. And slowly as well. The first time he dies to a neural injury while trying to get his brain scanned, accidentally turning himself into a robot many years later. And then, he tries to transfer his mind into a space computer. No, that is not an option. He can only copy it, like backing up your PC files and letting your old computer die. An angry computerized scientist blows herself out and leaves him to die in the dark alone. I love twists that don't come completely out of nowhere, and unlike in KOTOR, they don't recap the hints. It's just that the character cannot grasp the concept.

the twist in GOW Ragnarok has to be on here now idc what anyone says

How is Joel saving Ellie a twist? The ENTIRE game builds towards that conclusion. From the very beginning, its clear what the ending will be

Aloy being a clone isnt a twist… its a reveal. Obviously something was up with her.

Too many ads on your videos

What about Salem surviving in army of two 3

Death Stranding ????????? Mads Mikkelsen

BioShock is the 2nd most underrated game ever imo. My dad put me onto it and I was expecting to not like it, but now it's one of my favorite games ever along with Uncharted 2 and Silent Hill 2. I legit cried during the plot twist and it really flipped everything about the game on its head. I wish more people would play it and see how fantastic it really was.

joker surving the interrogation in persona 5 was the craziest moment ever

The death of Aerith.
Just wait for ff7 remake part 2😭😭😭

Manhunt 2 has a good plot twist

Why didn’t they use a phoenix down on aerith?

My own shocking plot twist
Ryder and big smoke betrayal gta san andreas
Mason actually lives cod black ops 2
Joels death the last of us

These are indeed shocking plot twists, but nothing rocks you to your core more than Shepherd's betrayal in Modern Warfare 2

Aerith dying should be top 3 tf. As much as everyone talks about it

Was anybody really bummed by Aerith's death? I never liked her so i was totally cool with it.

Kefka : Where do they come from...? Where do they go?
Me : COTTON EYE JOE

I'm sad that the ending of ac2 isn't there.

Plot twist, you can go to hell and revive Aeirth from the dead as a ghost character.

Kinda wish the reveal in Mass Effect (1) or Bioshock Infinite could have at least made the honorable mentions.

I, think this idiot ment to call Samus a bounty hunter not, a space marine, I mean come on any moron would know that, I've never played a Metroid game in my life and I know that.

So y'all just left out plots twists in the first black ops😭

The General Shepard betrayal was kind of obvious in my opinion especially if you played Modern Warfare it was obvious from that point on

The true identity of Miang in Xenogears. Actually the whole plot is just one big twist

Cold War wins.

How you don’t have metal gear solid ( arguably best PlayStation 1 game of all time ) master miller being liquid snake on this list is beyond me …

Bruh how is Halo CE: ranked 13th? Imo that was by far the biggest twist I've ever seen

Man Spec Ops: The Line...........what a game. Yes basic 3rd Person Shooter, but man that story is just..........DAMN! I had a friend, who had an older brother, that cried at the White Phosphorus and ending, cause he was a soldier during Iraq and Afghanistan.

John Marstons death still knocks the wind outta me.

I love Arthur Morgan much more than John but johns death just kills me.

I'm still a firm believer that the MC from FFX is named "Ty-dus" not "Tee-dus" and it bothers me any time someone says the latter. It just sounds weird and weak like saying carbine as "car-bean" and besides, "TIDE-us" makes sense with the ocean theme.

FFT villaneous heroes revelarion.

In the first dead space game if you take the first letter of each chapter & put it all together it spells out nicole is dead which spoils the game from the get go.

The memory implantation twist in COD Cold War should be on this list. Maybe Micah is the rat in Red Dead as well.

I hate sheperd that scene makes me cry

Shepherd's betrayal will forever be the biggest twist ever.
Standalone? Meh.
But when u see GHOST die, fukkk!! U lose ur shiii. I still remember crying a lil, the first time i played it. I was toooo attached to ghost as a character and I believe it was designed that way only.
The attachment to a particular character that is.
Il be telling even my grandkids about this moment whenever they ask to share some shii.
