We're currently experiencing a golden era for video game adaptations, with high-quality movies and TV series like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Last of Us, and Fallout captivating audiences worldwide. Excitingly, we're on the cusp of even more adaptations, including potential projects like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. These upcoming adaptations promise to surpass the quality of past video game movies and shows, offering fans a richer experience.
While it's uncertain how many of these projects will actually come to fruition, we're closely monitoring their development and will keep you updated. For this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as a direct adaptation of an existing game, excluding films like Wreck-It Ralph which merely feature video game themes. These adaptations don't need to be faithful to the source material but must be inspired by actual video games.
