We're currently witnessing what some might call a renaissance in video game adaptations, with hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the latest Sonic the Hedgehog film, and critically acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The excitement doesn't stop there; we're eagerly anticipating future adaptations of iconic titles like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many others. What's striking is how much these recent adaptations have surpassed the quality of their predecessors.
While many projects are in the pipeline, not all will make it to the screen, and only a select few have confirmed release dates. We're keeping a close eye on all these developments and will keep you updated as they progress!
For clarity, this list focuses on actual adaptations of existing video games. Movies or shows that merely feature video games, like Wreck-It Ralph, do not qualify. These adaptations don't have to be faithful to the source material, but they must be based on a real game.
