New Video Game Movies and TV Shows: 2025 Release Dates Announced

We're currently experiencing a golden age for video game adaptations, with recent successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog sequels, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The future looks even brighter with exciting projects on the horizon, including adaptations of God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many others. These upcoming adaptations are shaping up to be far superior to the video game movies and shows we've seen in the past.

While it's uncertain how many of these projects will ultimately reach completion, we're keeping a close eye on them all. For this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as a direct adaptation of an existing video game, excluding films like Wreck-It Ralph which merely feature video game elements. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to their source material, but they must be based on a real game.
