Sometimes it happens immediately. Sometimes it happens seven months, three weeks, and two days later. In any case, please enjoy the top 11 resurrections in video games. We decided to go with 11 as opposed to the unofficial internet standard of 10, because sometimes when you get resurrected, you have to come back slightly bigger, but undeniably better.<\/p>\n<h2>11<\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/2025\/03\/21\/1c4d9129\/mercy.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail lazyload\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Mercy in Overwatch<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p><span><span>Despite its colorful aesthetic and comic book superhero inspirations, Overwatch and its sequel are both games overflowing with death.

Sonic the Hedgehog was pronounced dead, but thankfully Princess Elise \u2013 a human woman \u2013 was able to channel the power of the Chaos Emeralds into a kiss that brought Sonic back to life and turned him into Super Sonic.

Tekken\u2019s director, Katsuhiro Harada, also made it clear that he was truly, actually dead. But then, in Tekken 8, a resurrection took place in the form of DLC. \u201cIt wasn&#8217;t a lie,\u201d Harada told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/tekken-8-interview-katsuhiro-harada-heihachi-bandai-namco-evo-2024\">IGN<\/a><\/em> last year, \u201cAnd then, also, the timing is right since it&#8217;s the 30th anniversary of the franchise.

What I didn\u2019t understand, however, was that in the coming months, we would be treated to a collection of trailers that systematically and callously murdered every one of those legendary characters. Thankfully, Masahiro Sakurai\u2019s genetic son Kirby (citation needed), survived long enough to resurrect everyone.
