Description

Use {{disambig}} to provide clarification between multiple games. It is used primarily to distinguish games using the same title (original game vs. series reboot) and to distinguish original titles from their remakes. The tag can support a single descriptor for the current page, along with up to 4 separate game pairs (a link descriptor and the actual link).

The tag is to be placed directly underneath the series sidebar tag. If the game does not have a series sidebar, place the tag directly underneath the infobox.
Use the tag only when needed. It can be omitted from an article otherwise.
