We're currently experiencing a golden age for video game adaptations, with recent hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, another Sonic the Hedgehog film, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The excitement doesn't stop there, as we eagerly anticipate adaptations of beloved games like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. These new projects are setting a higher standard compared to many of the adaptations we've seen in the past.
While it's uncertain how many of these projects will successfully navigate the complexities of development and reach audiences, we're keeping a close eye on their progress. We're particularly focused on those with solid release dates and ongoing updates.
For our purposes, a "video game movie" or "TV show" refers to an adaptation directly based on an existing video game. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to the source material, but they must draw directly from a real game. Films like Wreck-It Ralph, which simply feature video game themes, don't qualify for our list.
Explore the slideshow below for a sneak peek, or continue reading to discover the most anticipated projects with confirmed details. If you spot any inaccuracies or missing information, please share your insights in the comments!
