We're currently experiencing a golden era for video game adaptations, with high-quality movies and TV series like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Last of Us, and Fallout captivating audiences. The excitement doesn't stop there, as fans eagerly anticipate upcoming projects such as God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. These adaptations are setting a new standard, far surpassing the quality of past efforts.
While many projects are in the pipeline, it's uncertain how many will successfully make it to release. Nonetheless, we're closely monitoring and updating our list to keep you informed. For this article, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as a direct adaptation of an existing video game, not just a film or series about video games. Fidelity to the source material isn't a requirement, but the project must be rooted in a specific game.
