gaming franchises

Gaming franchises are series of video games centered around a common theme, story, or set of characters, often developed by the same company. They typically include multiple titles released over time, building a consistent universe that players can explore repeatedly. Popular examples include "Super Mario," "The Legend of Zelda," and "Call of Duty." These franchises often expand through sequels, spin-offs, merchandise, and adaptations, creating a recognizable brand that attracts dedicated fans and maintains cultural relevance in the gaming industry.
