New Video Game Movies and TV Shows: 2025 Releases and Future Plans

We are currently experiencing a renaissance in video game adaptations, with successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, additional Sonic the Hedgehog films, and acclaimed series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The excitement doesn't stop there, as we eagerly anticipate adaptations of beloved titles like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many others. These new projects promise to surpass the quality of earlier video game adaptations, offering fans a fresh and engaging experience.

While it's uncertain how many of these projects will ultimately reach completion, we're keeping a close eye on their progress and will keep you updated. For our purposes, a "video game movie" or "TV show" is defined as an adaptation of an existing game, not just a film about gaming, like Wreck-It Ralph. These adaptations can range from faithful to loosely inspired, as long as they stem from a real video game.
