It seems like we're in the midst of a golden age for video game adaptations, with hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog films, alongside acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The excitement doesn't stop there; we're eagerly anticipating adaptations of beloved titles like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. These new projects promise to surpass the quality of earlier video game adaptations, bringing fans closer to the immersive worlds they love.

While it's uncertain how many of these projects will ultimately reach completion, we're keeping a close eye on their progress and will continue to update you with the latest developments. For the purpose of this list, we're focusing on adaptations that directly translate existing video games into movies or TV shows. This means films like Wreck-It Ralph, which are inspired by video games but not direct adaptations, won't be included. Whether these adaptations stick closely to their source material or take creative liberties, they're all rooted in real games.

Below, you'll find a slideshow and a detailed list of the most anticipated video game movies and TV shows set to release in 2025 and beyond. If you spot any errors or have updates to share, please leave a comment!
