New Video Game Movies and TV Shows Set for 2025 and Beyond

We're witnessing a renaissance in video game adaptations, with recent hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog films, along with acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The future looks even brighter with potential adaptations of God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more on the horizon. These new projects are promising to be a significant step up from the video game adaptations of the past.

While it's unclear how many of these ambitious projects will successfully make it to release, we're keeping a close eye on them all. For the sake of clarity, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing video game, not just a film or series about video games. These adaptations don't have to be completely faithful to the source material, but they must be directly based on a real game.
