A feature created to improve the replayability of some games. Some games are designed so you can reach [[100% Completion]] in one go, but some others don't make everything the game has to offer available until you've beaten the game (that is, seen the credits) at least once. This is very common in [[Role Playing Games]] and games with levels, but it can appear in every genre.
 
The exact things you can unlock vary from game to game. Common unlockables include a [[Secret Character]], [[Harder Than Hard|higher difficulty levels]], [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|a new costume]], the [[True Final Boss]], and many more. Sometimes the game makes the content unlockable by [[Endgame Plus|doing a rewind to the last]] [[Save Point]] before fighting the [[Final Boss]], but it's quite more common that the unlockables appear only in [[New Game+]], which is '''[[Post End Game-Endgame Content''']] on its own right too.
 
A subtrope of [[Unlockable Content]] and supertrope to [[New Game+]] and [[Endgame Plus]]. It will frequenly overlap with the other subtropes, [[Double Unlock]] being the most frustrating and most common one. Necessary for [[100% Completion]]. Compare with [[Downloadable Content]]. Compare also with [[Extended Gameplay]].

* ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' has a "Chapter Select" feature (including a bonus chapter, "[[Another Side, Another Story|Another Day]]"), optional sidequests for every chapter, [[Harder Than Hard|Ultimate difficulty]], and most of the strongest [[Infinity+1 Sword|pins]], [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|equipment]] and key items.
* [[Harder Than Hard|Dante Must Die and upper difficulties]] in the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' series. They later unlock [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|the Super Costumes]] (not [[Bragging Rights Reward|that you need them anymore]]).
