New Video Game Movies and TV Shows: 2025 Releases and Beyond

We're experiencing a renaissance in video game adaptations, with recent successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, another Sonic the Hedgehog film, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The future looks bright with upcoming adaptations like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, which promise to continue this trend of high-quality adaptations. These projects are not only more ambitious but also significantly better than many of the video game adaptations we've seen in the past.

While it's uncertain how many of these projects will ultimately make it to release, we're keeping a close eye on their development and eagerly tracking their progress. For our purposes, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing video game. These adaptations don't necessarily need to be faithful to the source material; they simply need to be based on a real game.
