Upcoming New Video Game Movies and TV Shows: 2025 Release Dates and Beyond

Some may say we are in a renaissance of video game adaptations, and it's hard to disagree. With recent successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, another Sonic the Hedgehog film, and acclaimed TV series like The Last of Us and Fallout, it's clear that video game adaptations are hitting their stride. Excitingly, we could soon see adaptations of games like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more. What's truly remarkable is how these projects are outshining many of the video game adaptations we've seen in the past.

While it's uncertain how many of these ambitious projects will successfully navigate the development process and reach audiences, a select few already have confirmed release dates. We're keeping a close eye on all these developments and will keep you updated every step of the way!

For clarity, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing video game. This means that movies like Wreck-It Ralph, which merely feature video games as a theme, don't make the cut. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to the source material, but they must be directly based on a real game.
