We're living through an exciting era for video game adaptations, with recent hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog films, along with critically acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The future looks even brighter, with promising projects like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima on the horizon. What's most thrilling is that many of these upcoming adaptations are set to surpass the quality of their predecessors, offering fans a richer, more immersive experience.

It's worth noting that not all announced projects will make it to release, and only a select few have confirmed dates. We're keeping a close eye on these developments to bring you the latest updates.

For clarity, our list focuses on adaptations of existing video games. This means films like Wreck-It Ralph—which celebrates video game culture but isn't based on a specific game—do not qualify. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to their source material; they simply need to be inspired by actual video games.
