New Video Game Movies and TV Shows: 2025 Releases and Future Plans

The video game industry is experiencing a renaissance in adaptations, with successful releases like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog, and acclaimed TV series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. This wave of high-quality adaptations marks a significant improvement over past efforts, hinting at a bright future for video game-based movies and TV shows.

While many projects are in development, only a fraction have confirmed release dates. We're keeping a close eye on these exciting developments and will continue to update our tracking.

For this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing game, excluding films like Wreck-It Ralph that are merely set in the world of video games. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to their source material, but they must be based on actual games.

Explore the slideshow below for a sneak peek, or continue reading to learn about the most significant projects with confirmed details. If you notice any inaccuracies, missing entries, or updates needed, please share in the comments section.
