Canon - Games

In gaming, 'canon' refers to the established, official narrative continuity within a franchise, shaping storylines, character arcs, and world-building. It serves as a foundational framework that developers use to maintain consistency across sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations, often influencing player choices and fan discussions. Canon can evolve through retcons or expansions, balancing tradition with innovation, and is crucial for immersive, cohesive experiences in series like role-playing or adventure games.
