New Video Game Movies and TV Shows: 2025 Releases and Beyond

We're in the midst of what many are calling a golden age for video game adaptations. From the vibrant world of The Super Mario Bros. Movie to the adrenaline-pumping action of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the gritty narratives of TV series like The Last of Us and Fallout, fans are being treated to a plethora of high-quality adaptations. Excitingly, the horizon is dotted with more anticipated projects like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many others. The quality of these adaptations marks a significant improvement over the often lackluster attempts of the past.

While it's still uncertain how many of these projects will actually make it to release, and only a handful have confirmed dates, we're keeping a close watch on all developments. For our purposes, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing video game, not just a film or series about video games. Therefore, movies like Wreck-It Ralph don't qualify, although they may not need to be strictly faithful to the source material—just based on a real game.
