It’s often said that a story is just as good as its ending, and it’s a saying that remains true in the case of video games as well. Many games tend to fumble when it comes to crafting truly memorable epilogues, but there are certain exceptions that go the extra mile and do the needful to deliver a fitting conclusion to the overarching narrative. To that end, we present 15 of the best epilogues in games. We have a lot to cover, so let’s get right into it.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4 holds the world record for having the longest ending cutscene of any video game, with the epilogue cutscenes cumulatively lasting for well over an hour. And while that might sound tedious at first, such an extensive epilogue was needed to wrap up all essential plotlines in the game. We jump from one beautifully directed scene to the other as characters as they attain some sort of closure to their internal and external conflicts, and finally cutting back to the graveyard where we are treated to an emotionally charged conversation between Old Snake and a stumbling Big Boss which will remain with you long after the credits roll.
