New Video Game Adaptations: 2025 and Beyond Release Dates

We are currently witnessing a renaissance in video game adaptations, with a slew of high-quality projects hitting the screens. From the blockbuster success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog films to critically acclaimed series like The Last of Us and Fallout, the future looks bright for gamers and movie buffs alike. Anticipation is building for upcoming adaptations such as God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, which promise to elevate the genre even further. What's remarkable is the noticeable improvement in quality compared to earlier video game adaptations.

While many projects are in the pipeline, not all will make it to release, and only a select few have confirmed dates. We're keeping a close eye on these developments, ensuring you stay informed about what's coming next.

For clarity, when we refer to "video game movies" or "TV shows," we mean direct adaptations of existing video games. Creative liberties are welcome, but the core must be based on an actual game. This excludes movies like Wreck-It Ralph, which, while centered around video games, isn't an adaptation of one.
