We're living in an exciting era for video game adaptations, with a slew of high-quality movies and TV shows 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 landscape is brimming with potential. Fans can look forward to upcoming adaptations of beloved titles such as God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, which promise to bring even more of the gaming world to life. These new projects are setting a higher bar than the video game adaptations we've seen in the past, offering fans a fresh and often improved take on their favorite games.
While many of these projects are in various stages of development, and not all will make it to release, we're keeping a close eye on them. For our list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing game, not merely a film about video games. So, while something like Wreck-It Ralph is entertaining, it doesn't count here. These adaptations don't need to be exact replicas of the games; they just need to be rooted in the original material.
