In the way that a powerful force brings them back from the dead, long after their time, and they have to complete a mission
I'm thinking like the beginning of Destiny (the video game) which I have always had a little bit of frustration with because I thought that was an epic opening to a story.
And also, more obscurely, the game Altered Beast (1988) by SEGA, where Zeus resurrects some people to go kill some stuff, simple like.
I looked online and found mostly Manhwa stuff (like reincarnation or I am a 1000 years and have so much experience type deal, I just want a story where the protagonist comes back to life)

Altered carbon trilogy
Riverworld series by Philip Jose Farmer. The first book is To Your Scattered Bodies Go.
The New Testament
its a web-novel, I am going to be a wizard when I grow up again, it sounds really bad with that title but I love it, so far I think the world is >500 years after the story started, as the character reincarnates multiple times. I am only half way finished with the series.
