2025 Video Game Adaptations: Films & Series Coming Soon

We're witnessing what many consider a golden age for video game adaptations, with Hollywood delivering quality projects like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog films, and prestige TV series based on The Last of Us and Fallout. The pipeline looks even brighter with upcoming adaptations of God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and numerous other titles.

The remarkable difference? These current adaptations far surpass the often-disappointing video game movies of decades past.

The ultimate fate of these projects remains uncertain - only a fraction currently have confirmed release dates. But we're monitoring all developments closely.

Our Selection Criteria

For this guide, we're focusing exclusively on direct adaptations of existing video games. Works like Wreck-It Ralph (which features video game themes rather than adapting a specific title) don't qualify. The adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful - they simply must originate from established game properties.
