These characters are on a mother level!

Inspirational? Check. Loving? Double check.

We must be talking about some awesome in-game moms!

If you’re looking to celebrate a few motherly characters, check out these mom-believable games.

An ancient evil is about to reawaken, and you’ll need to befriend and fight alongside new and legendary heroes to stop it. Use rich strategies and robust customization to meet your destiny.

Divine Dragon Lumera: A beloved ruler and mother, Queen Lumera loves her child unconditionally and has tried her best to provide the Divine Dragon with support and guidance.

As the immortal Prince Zagreus, you must defy your father (the god of the dead, Hades) to escape the Underworld. The Olympians have your back, offering helpful blessings to enhance your abilities.

Goddesses: From Olympus to the Underworld, Goddess mothers like Nyx, Demeter, and others offer aid to their children and Zagreus. A mother’s love knows no bounds!

While Nintendo Switch Online members can probably find several awesome moms in this collection*, we want to give a special shoutout to the EarthBound™ game!

Ness’s Mother: Ness will grow homesick if he doesn’t regularly call her and listen to her words of encouragement. She’s also always up to cook him a scrumptious meal. How nice of her!

You can find even more awesome in-game moms with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack*. Classics like the Super Mario 64™ game show that being a loving parent isn’t just a “human” thing.

Mother Penguin: Poor Mother Penguin has lost her precious baby! Can you help find sweet Tuxie? They say she has her momma’s beak.

Long before she became the battle-ready Bayonetta, she was the lonely outcast, Cereza. Join Cereza and Cheshire, her very first demon, on a quest to fend off fiends, solve puzzles, and save her mother.

Rosa: An Umbra Witch with unparalleled skill, Rosa created her daughter’s stuffed toy from whatever she could gather. She was also known to sing lullabies as Cereza rested against her cell.

In this free-to-play, team-based action game, you can jump into a reimagined 5v5 battlefield brawl! Along with added maps, costumes, and emotes, even more heroes will be joining the roster.

Mom-umental addition: The newest motherly figure in Overwatch is Asa, Kiriko’s mom. As a former swordmaster for the Shimada clan, she even trained Hanzo and Genji!

Slay your way to the peak of Grindstone Mountain, where fortune, glory, and death awaits! It’ll take sharp puzzle skills and an even sharper blade to get through the swarms of bloodthirsty Creeps.

Jorja: An OG stonegrinder, Jorja is tougher than nails and sweeter than pie. She may be retired, but she’s ready to swing a sword to help her sweet, muscly chjipmunk son, Jorjie!

Explore an open world as you catch, battle, and train Pokémon in the Paldea Region—a vast land filled with remarkable landscapes.

Mom: Try to stop by to visit your character’s mom from time to time—she’ll make sure that you and your Pokémon are well rested. She may even have a sandwich recipe for you!
