We're in the midst of what many are calling a renaissance of video game adaptations, thanks to hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, another Sonic the Hedgehog film, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The excitement doesn't stop there; fans can look forward to potential adaptations of God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more. These new projects are not only coming to life but also setting a higher standard than the video game adaptations we've seen in the past.
While it's thrilling to hear about all these upcoming projects, it's important to note that not all of them will necessarily make it to release. Only a select few have confirmed release dates, and we'll be keeping a close watch on their progress.
For the purpose of our list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing video game. This means films like Wreck-It Ralph, which simply feature video game characters, don't qualify. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to their source material; they just need to be inspired by actual games.
