It's an exciting time for fans of video game adaptations, as we're witnessing a renaissance in this genre. From the blockbuster success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the Sonic the Hedgehog series to critically acclaimed TV shows like The Last of Us and Fallout, the quality of these adaptations has significantly improved over the years. We're eagerly anticipating more projects like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, which promise to bring even more beloved games to life on screen.
While many projects are in the pipeline, it's uncertain how many will actually make it to release. Only a few have confirmed dates, but we're keeping a close eye on all developments. For the purpose of this list, we're focusing on direct adaptations of existing video games, excluding movies or shows that merely reference video games.
