We're in the midst of a golden era for video game adaptations, with recent successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. Excitingly, more projects are on the horizon, including adaptations of God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many others. These upcoming projects are not just promising; they surpass many of the less successful adaptations we've seen in the past.

The journey from announcement to release can be long and uncertain, with only a few having confirmed release dates. We're closely monitoring these developments and keeping you updated on their progress.

For clarity, our definition of a "video game movie" or "TV show" strictly refers to adaptations of existing video games. These adaptations don't necessarily need to be faithful to the source material but must be based on an actual game. Wreck-It Ralph, for example, does not qualify as it merely features video game characters without being an adaptation itself.
