We're currently witnessing what some might call a renaissance in video game adaptations. From the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog films to the critically acclaimed TV series like The Last of Us and Fallout, the future looks bright. Excitingly, fans can look forward to upcoming adaptations such as God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, which promise to surpass the quality of earlier video game adaptations.
The journey from announcement to release can be unpredictable, with many projects still in development and only a few boasting confirmed release dates. We're keeping a close eye on these developments and providing you with the latest updates.
For the purpose of this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation directly based on an existing video game. This means films like Wreck-It Ralph, which merely reference video games, do not qualify. These adaptations don't necessarily need to be faithful to the source material; they simply need to be inspired by a real game.
