We may be in a golden era for video game adaptations, with recent successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog films, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. The future looks even brighter with upcoming projects like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more. These new adaptations are setting a higher standard compared to previous attempts, offering fans exciting prospects.

It's still uncertain how many of these projects will successfully complete development and reach audiences, and only a few have confirmed release dates. However, we're keeping a close watch on all these developments!

For the purpose of this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as a direct adaptation of an existing video game. This excludes movies like Wreck-It Ralph, which, while related to video games, isn't an adaptation of a specific game. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to the source material, but they must be based on an actual game.
