A story arc is the chronological construction of a plot across episodic media, unfolding over multiple episodes or seasons rather than resolving in a single installment.
Definition
A story arc is the chronological construction of a plot in episodic media such as television, comic books, comic strips, board games, and video games. Unlike a self-contained narrative that resolves within one installment, an arc unfolds across multiple episodes or seasons.
Context in Gaming
In video games, story arcs structure how plot develops over the course of play. Rather than resolving every conflict in a single level or session, the narrative builds gradually through successive stages, letting characters and conflicts evolve as the player progresses.
