Some may say we are in a renaissance of video game adaptations as we’ve been treated to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a third Sonic the Hedgehog film, and TV series based on The Last of Us and Fallout, and will soon be getting adaptations of God of War, Mass Effect, and so many more. The best part? A lot of these look so much better than video game adaptations we\u2019ve gotten in the past. <\/p>\n

How many will actually make it through development and see the light of day remains to be seen, and only a fraction of these have actual release dates. But we’re watching these projects, and we’re tracking them!<\/p>\n

For the purposes of this list, we classify a \u201cvideo game movie\u201d or “video game TV show” as an actual adaptation of an existing video game, so something like Wreck-It Ralph (which is just a movie about video games) wouldn\u2019t qualify. They don\u2019t have to be faithful adaptations \u2013 they just have to be based on a real game.<\/p>\n

Click on through the slideshow below for a glimpse, or read on to find out about the biggest projects with definite details. And if you see something incorrect, missing, or in need of an update, let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> December 17, 2025, on Prime Video<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          The first season of Prime Video’s Fallout series was a huge success. In our Fallout TV show review, we said, “A bright and funny apocalypse filled with dark punchlines and bursts of ultra-violence, Fallout is among the best video game adaptations ever made.”<\/p>\n

          Fallout will be back for another season in December and it will bring us back to New Vegas, with familiar faces like Ella Purnell’s Lucy, Walton Goggins’ Ghoul, and the goodest girl Dogmeat alongside new faces like Justin Theroux’s Mr. House and a ‘crazy genius-type character’ played by Macaulay Culkin.<\/p>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> 2026<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Netflix’s Castlevania showrunner Adi Shanker released a new anime series based on Devil May Cry in April, 2025. Season 2 was announced shortly thereafter, and now we know it will drop in 2026.<\/p>\n

          Return to Silent Hill is the upcoming film based on Silent Hill 2 and is “a mythological love story about someone so deeply in love, they’re willing to go to hell to save someone.” The film will see Jeremy Irvine and Hanna Emily Anderson taking on the lead roles and a recent Silent Hill Transmission gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the movie. A first look at the terrifying Pyramid Head was also revealed earlier this year.<\/p>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> April 3, 2026<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          September 2025’s Nintendo Direct revealed the next Super Mario Bros. movie will be The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and we are very excited. A sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie must have been the easiest decision for Nintendo as was seen by over 168.1 million people worldwide and made over $1.349 billion at the global box office.<\/p>\n

          Mortal Kombat 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> May 15, 2026<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Mortal Kombat 2 will be released in theaters on May 15, 2026, and the synopsis teases that our “fan favorite champions\u2014now joined by Johnny Cage himself\u2014are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.”<\/p>\n

          Karl Urban plays Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph will be taking on the role of Kitana, and they’ll be joined by Tati Gabrielle’s Jade, Damon Herriman’s Quan Chi, Martyn Ford’s Shao Kahn, Desmond Chiam’s Jerrod, Ana Thu Nguyen’s Sindel, CJ Bloomfield’s Baraka, Lewis Tan’s Cole Young, Hiroyuki Sanada’s Scorpion, Jessica McNamee’s Sonya Blade, Mehcad Brooks’ Jax, Ludi Lin’s Liu Kang, Josh Lawson’s Kano, Tadanobu Asano’s Raiden, Chin Han’s Shang Tsung, Joe Tsalim’s Bi-Han, and more.<\/p>\n

          Resident Evil<\/h3>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> September 18, 2026<\/p>\n

          Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie will be bringing us back to Raccoon City in 2026 and recent images posted online have confirmed filming is underway in Prague. This likely means the film will be set prior to October 1998 and the events depicted in Resident Evil 3 for reasons we won’t spoil here. <\/p>\n

          Street Fighter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Release Date: <\/strong>October 16, 2026<\/p>\n

          The Angry Birds Movie 3<\/h3>\n

          Release Date: <\/strong>January 29, 2027<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride return as Red, Chuck, Silver, and Bomb for a third Angry Birds movies. John Rice (The Angry Birds Movie 1, Beavis & Butt-Head Do the Universe) directs from a screenplay by Thurop Van Orman (The Angry Birds Movie 2!).<\/p>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> March 19, 2027<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          The Sonic movies are going strong (Sonic 3 is at the top of our best video game movies of all time list!), so it’s no surprise that a fourth film is in the works. There aren’t many details available about the project yet, but based on the Sonic 3 post-credits scene, expect Amy Rose and Metal Sonic to show up.<\/p>\n

          The Legend of Zelda<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> May 7, 2027<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Warner Bros. has officially confirmed A Minecraft Movie 2 will be released on July 23, 2027, and it makes sense as the original made over $957 million at the global box office. Will Jennifer Coolidge be back with her nitwit villager love interest? We can only hope!<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          God of War TV Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Noah Hawley (Alien: Earth, Fargo, Legion) will be turning Far Cry into a TV series for FX and Hulu, along with It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob Mac (aka Rob McElhenney). Mac will also star in the series, which is in early days at the moment but is sure to be a major push for FX considering how much attention Alien: Earth received. Each season of the show will focus on a new setting, similar to the games.<\/p>\n

          Elden Ring<\/h3>\n

          Release Date: TBA<\/p>\n

          Even before Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was out, it was confirmed the game would be getting a film adaptation. Developer Sandfall Interactive has partnered with Story Kitchen to bring this to life, but we don’t know much else at this point.<\/p>\n

          Mass Effect<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          <\/output><\/p>\n

          A Mass Effect movie adaptation was in the works at least as far back as 2010, though it never wound up happening.<\/p>\n

          In December, 2021, however, it was reported that Amazon was working on a deal to adapt the game as a TV series. It once again took a while, but in November 2024, it was confirmed that Amazon MGM studios had begun development on the TV version. Daniel Casey (10 Cloverfield Lane) will write and executive produce the show, while other producers include EA\/BioWare’s Michael Gamble, who’s leading development on the next Mass Effect game, and Avi Arad, who was part of that initial movie announcement all those years back.<\/p>\n

          Stahelski also mentioned he is looking at ways to “expand further” into sequels and TV. So, expect a lot of Ghost of Tsushima in the future!<\/p>\n

          Release Date:<\/strong> 2027<\/p>\n

          A Ghost of Tsushima anime is on the way from Sony and Aniplex and it is set to launch exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027. Instead of adapting the main game, this anime will instead focus on the Legends co-op multiplayer portion that was added post-launch.<\/p>\n

          <\/output><\/p>\n

          Horizon Zero Dawn has had both a movie and a TV show in the works, but the TV show has had a bit of a rocky road. In July 2024, it was reported that the series was no longer moving forward at Netflix. It may show up again in the future, but it wasn’t a great sign.<\/p>\n

          As for the movie, Sony announced at CES 2025 that a big-screen adaptation of Aloy’s adventure is currently very early in production. A recent report said the movie is planning on filming in 2026 and releasing at some point in 2027.<\/p>\n

          EA’s long-running life simulation series The Sims is getting the big-screen treatment from Loki season 1 director Kate Heron and Margot Robbie’s production company Lucky Chap. We have yet to learn anything else about the project, but it should be welcome news for fans nonetheless.<\/p>\n

          Ubisoft’s extreme sports game Riders Republic is getting a film adaptation from Bad Boys for Life’s Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah.
