We're currently experiencing a golden era for video game adaptations, with hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The excitement doesn't stop there, as we anticipate even more adaptations, including God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. These new projects promise to surpass the quality of previous video game adaptations, offering fans a fresh and thrilling experience.
While many of these adaptations are still in development, and only a few have confirmed release dates, we're keeping a close eye on all of them. We're eager to see which ones will come to fruition and make it to our screens. For this list, we define "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation directly based on an existing video game, excluding movies like Wreck-It Ralph that merely reference video games. These adaptations don't have to be strictly faithful to their source material but must originate from actual games.
