Some may say we are in a renaissance of video game adaptations, as we've been treated to high-quality productions like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, another Sonic the Hedgehog film, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. Excitingly, more adaptations are on the horizon, including God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more. These new projects are shaping up to surpass many of the video game adaptations we've seen in the past.
While it remains uncertain how many will successfully navigate through development to reach audiences, we're closely monitoring these projects and keeping track of their progress.
For this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as a direct adaptation of an existing video game. This means that films like Wreck-It Ralph, which simply feature video games, do not qualify. These adaptations don't necessarily need to be faithful to the original game—they just need to be inspired by one.
