With Uncharted finally getting a trailer, Fallout getting a TV series on Amazon and Netflix developing a Cyberpunk 2077 anime and a Tomb Raider anime, we thought it would be a good time to revisit the list of all the other video game movies and TV projects that have been announced, planned, or are currently in production right now.

Only a handful of them will probably ever happen and only a fraction of those have actual release dates. We decided to round them all up anyway.

For the purposes of this list, we classify a “video game movie” as an actual film adaptation of an existing video game, so something like Wreck-It Ralph (which is just a movie about video games) wouldn’t qualify. They don’t have to be faithful adaptations – they just have to be based on a real game.

This gallery was compiled with the help of a number of resources, including IGN’s own news coverage, IMDB, and Den of Geek.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

Release Date: November 24, 2021

The seventh live-action Resident Evil film will reboot the series, acting as a loose adaptation of the events of the first two games. Expect to see most of the main characters from those games pop up to battle the undead in Raccoon City, including Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy, Donal Logue as Chief Irons, and Neal McDonough as William Birkin.

Uncharted

Release Date: February 18, 2022

Sony's Uncharted movie has gained and lost six directors since being announced in 2009. The good news is that production has finally wrapped on this perpetually troubled project. The movie is directed by Venom's Ruben Fleischer and stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and former Drake frontrunner Mark Wahlberg as the hero's mentor Sully. Holland says the movie will draw inspiration from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. The trailer also features a key set piece from Uncharted 3, despite the movie being designed as a prequel/origin story for Drake The release date has been pushed back numerous times due to the pandemic and other factors, with the current release scheduled for February 2022.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Release Date: April 8, 2022

As one of the few box office successes of the pandemic-ravaged 2020, it's no surprise Sonic the Hedgehog is getting a sequel. The sequel will again be directed by Jeff Fowler and will feature returning stars Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman and James Marsden as Tom Wachowski. Idris Elba has been cast as the voice of Knuckles, and Sonic's pal Miles "Tails" Prowler is also expected to make his big screen debut.

Super Mario Bros. Movie

Release Date: December 21, 2022

After years of seeming like little more than a pipe dream, the Mario movie is actually happening. What's more, Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt is voicing Mario. The cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. Longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet will appear, though he'll be playing a number of unknown cameo roles this time. The movie doesn't yet have an official title, but it does have a release date – December 21, 2022.

Minecraft: The Movie

Release Date: TBA (Previously March 4, 2022)

Peter Sollett (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) will direct the Minecraft movie, which will tell the story of a teenage girl trying to save the Overworld from an Ender Dragon. The film was scheduled for release in March 2022, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic has now been indefinitely delayed.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Release Date: 2022

Netflix is moving forward with an anime series tie-in to Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red will act as producer on the series, with Studio Trigger working as the animation studio, and Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) directing. Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka will compose the score.

Tomb Raider 2 & Anime Series

Release Date: TBA (Previously March 19, 2021)

Despite mediocre reviews for 2018's Tomb Raider, MGM and Warner Bros. seem happy enough with the film's box office performance to move forward with a sequel, with Alicia Vikander returning as Lara Croft. At one point the sequel had a March 2021 release date, but with Lovecraft Country showrunner Misha Green coming aboard as writer and director in January 2021, it's become clear Tomb Raider 2 won't be releasing before 2022 at the earliest. Vikander later told Collider she's confident the sequel will happen, even though it hasn't been officially greenlit yet.

Separately, Netflix is developing a Tomb Raider anime series set within the universe of the reboot games (specifically, after the events of 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider). However, Agent Carter's Hayley Atwell will voice Lara rather than the game's voice actress Camilla Luddington.

Assassin’s Creed 2 & TV Series

A sequel to the first Assassin’s Creed movie was already in the works during the production of the first, but information about the follow-up is minimal.

However, Netflix has announced that it will produce a live-action Assassin's Creed series, executive produced by Ubisoft's Jason Altman and Danielle Kreinik, which will be the first of multiple new projects. The live-action series will be an "epic, genre-bending live action adaptation." The collaboration will "tap into the iconic video game’s trove of dynamic stories" to create live-action, animated and anime series.

Borderlands

The Borderlands movie was announced back in 2016, to be produced by Avi and Ari Arad and written by Aaron Berg. While news was slow for several years after, Lionsgate surprised fans in February 2020 by announcing Hostel's Eli Roth will direct the movie, with Chernobyl's Craig Mazin penning a new screenplay draft. Cate Blanchett has been confirmed to star as Lilith, and Kevin Hart will also star as Roland. The cast also includes Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Kreig, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, and Jack Black as Claptrap. Production has officially ended for the Borderlands movie, making a 2022 release likely.

Brothers in Arms

Gearbox is developing a live-action series based on the Brothers in Arms games, one that will explore both the Allied and Axis sides of the WWII conflict. The series is overseen by showrunner Scott Rosenbaum, with Randy Pitchford executive producing.

Call of Duty

There isn’t just one Call of Duty movie in development – its sequel is already being planned too. Sicario 2 director Stefano Solima is set to direct the first one.

Carmen Sandiego

Jane the Virgin-star Gina Rodriguez is set to play Carmen Sandiego in both a live-action film she is also producing, and an animated TV series produced by Netflix.

Centipede

MoviePass Films has partnered with Atari to produce films based on both Centipede and Missile Command. MoviePass' shutdown in 2019 casts the future of this project in doubt.

Contra

Arcade run and gun classic Contra is getting a live-action film in China, produced by Beijing Starlit Movie and TV Culture.

The Division

Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is set to helm this adaptation of the Ubisoft game, which will star Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal in leading roles.

Duke Nukem

Gearbox Software has reportedly teamed up with the Assassin’s Creed movie producer Jean-Julien Baronnet to adapt Duke Nukem into a movie. John Cena is rumored to star.

Fallout

Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are producing a Fallout series for Amazon. It's unknown whether the series will be an adaptation of one of the games or tell an original story in this post-apocalyptic universe.

Fatal Frame

The popular survival horror series built around ghost photography is reportedly being adapted by Silent Hill director Christophe Gans.

Firewatch

In 2016 it was announced that Campo Santo’s Firewatch was going to be adapted into a movie, but we’ve heard nothing since.

Five Nights at Freddy’s

A Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is currently in the works from Blumhouse, but production recently hit a snag after the greenlit screenplay was rejected by Five Nights creator Scott Cawthon.

Fruit Ninja

In 2016 it was reported that a ‘live-action family comedy’ based around Halfbrick’s Fruit Ninja is in the works, but we’ve heard nothing since.

Gears of War

A Gears of War film under Universal was first announced back in 2016, and new screenwriter F. Scott Frazier (Collide, xXx: Return of Xander Cage) was more recently tapped to write the movie. Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista admitted he considered playing Marcus Fenix in a Gears of War movie a "dream role.

Half-Life

A movie based on Half Life was meant to be in the works from JJ Abrams, but it seems to be subject to the Half Life 3 curse.

Halo

While a planned movie adaptation of the original Halo never materialized, the franchise is now being adapted as a series at Paramount+ (after migrating from Showtime). The Wire's Pablo Schreiber has been cast as Master Chief, while Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders) will direct and produce the series. Kyle Killen (Lone Star) and Steven Kane (The Last Ship) are the showrunners on Season 1. However, both will exit the series after the first season, which is expected to debut on the streamer at some point in 2022.

Heavy Rain

First announced in 2006, the rights to a Heavy Rain were bought by two former New Line executives. It’s safe to say this one will probably never see the light of day, though it was never announced it was officially canceled.

Just Cause

Derek Kolstad (the creator of the John Wick franchise) scripted this big screen adaptation of the Square Enix/Avalanche video game franchise. Constantin Film (the Resident Evil films) and Prime Universe (the Hitman films) are producing this action flick, which aims to kick-off a new film franchise around the game series' iconic protagonist Rico Rodriguez.

Just Dance

Just Dance is going to be a video game. In January 2019 it was announced that Screen Gems will develop a film version of Ubisoft’s annual video game, somehow.

Kane & Lynch

This one was first announced in 2007, and was originally set to star Jamie Foxx and Bruce Willis. The last we heard anything around this movie was in 2013 when THR reported Gerard Butler and Vin Diesel were in talks for the two leads.

The Last of Us

The Last of Us movie is in “development hell”, according to the game’s director Neil Druckmann, who wrote the original script for Screen Gems. In 2018 Druckmann said that if it ever went ahead, he hopes that the studio doesn’t use his script.

Instead, HBO is adapting The Last of Us as a series, with Chernobyl's Craig Mazin overseeing the project and Druckmann both writing and producing. The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal will star as Joel, and Game of Thrones' Bella Ramsey stars as Ellie. The ten-episode first season will adapt the first game, but that it will "deviate greatly" in some of its episodes.

Mass Effect

In 2010, it was announced that former Marvel Studios head Avi Arad would be adapting Mass Effect for the big screen for Warner Bros. Legendary Pictures picked up the deal in 2011, but divorced from Warner Bros. in 2013. The last we heard about this was when BioWare head Casey Hudson said it was still in the works in March of that year.

Mega Man

In late 2013, it was announced that Capcom and 20th Century Fox would be making a movie based on the Mega Man franchise. It will be written and directed by Catfish’s Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.

Metal Gear Solid

Jordan Vogt-Roberts will direct this adaptation of Konami's long-running action game franchise as rooted in Hideo Kojima's lore, but not a straight-up adaptation of the story from the games. A script was already completed, but the movie doesn't yet have a date.

Metro 2033

The movie adaptation of Metro 2033 is currently on hold, after screenwriter F.Scott Frazier butted heads with Metro creator Dmitry Glukhovsky over the film’s setting. Who knows where it will go from here.

Missile Command

The last we heard about a Missile Command movie was 2016, after it was announced Atari was teaming up with Emmett/Furla/Oasis films to spin the 1980 arcade game into a big screen spectacle.

Monument Valley

Paramount Pictures has a Monument Valley adaptation in the works, and animator Patrick Osborne (Big Hero 6) is due to direct the live-action/CGI hybrid.

Pokemon: Detective Pikachu 2

Legendary Pictures announced a sequel to Detective Pikachu in January 2019, two months before the original hit theaters. While there's been little news since, the strong performance of the first movie gives us no reason to assume the sequel isn't still a top priority. 22 Jump Street's Oren Uziel is penning the screenplay.

Portal

Like Half-Life, a movie based on Portal was meant to be in the works from JJ Abrams. The status of this is anyone’s guess.

Rabbids

A movie based on Ubisoft’s Rabbids franchise was first announced in 2015, as a collaboration between Ubisoft and Sony Pictures Entertainment. Robot Chicken’s Matthew Senreich, Tom Sheppard and Zeb Wells were set to write the script.

RollerCoaster Tycoon

We haven’t heard anything about the RollerCoaster Tycoon movie since 2010, when it was reported that Harald Zwart (the Karate Kid remake) would be heading up the film for Sony Pictures Animation.

Shinobi

Scott Pilgrim producer Marc Platt was poised to adapt Shinobi to the big screen back in 2016. “With Shinobi, we hope to make a film that honors the essence of the games,” Platt said at the time.

Silent Hill Sequel

Silent Hill director Christophe Gans is reportedly interested in returning to the franchise, though whether it'll serve as a direct sequel to the previous movies or a standalone project remains to be seen.

The Sims

It was back in 2007 that we heard a Sims movie was in the works with 20th Century Fox. We’ve heard nothing since, so it’s possible that the project is long dead.

Sleeping Dogs

A Sleeping Dogs adaptation was confirmed to be in development in 2017, with radio silence since, Donnie Yen confirmed it was still happening on his Instagram account in 2018.

Tetris

In 2016, Tetris producer Larry Kasanoff confirmed he was planning a sci-fi trilogy around the iconic puzzle game. How that will actually work is still up for debate.

Watch Dogs

A Watch Dogs movie was announced in 2013, but it has since lingered in development hell, despite a brief announcement in 2016 that it was “still happening.”

Werewolves Within

Ubisoft’s social VR deception game Werewolves Within is getting a big-screen adaptation, with Mishna Wolff writing the script.

Dune, the classic sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert, is getting a new major motion picture adaptation. Directed by Denis Villenueve, the movie stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Javiar Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and more big stars. It's one of the biggest movies of the year, so read on to find out when it's out, where you can watch it, and if it's any good.

Dune Release Date and Time

Dune is officially scheduled to release October 22, 2021, though it's actually available to watch earlier. Theater showtimes will start the evening of October 21, and it will be available to stream on HBO Max October 21 at 6:01 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch Dune

Anyone who wants to watch Dune has two options. One is head to your local theater, as usual. But like all of Warner Bros. 2021 movie releases, Dune is also available to stream on HBO Max on day one. It will be available on the service for 31 days. The only potential hitch is that you need to have an ad-free membership to watch it.

The ad-free tier of HBO Max costs $14.99 per month. You can cancel your subscription at any time, though it's worth noting the rest of the 2021 Warner Bros. movies will also be available the same day as their theatrical release, including The Matrix Resurrection.

If you want to head to the theater to see Dune on the big screen, you can see showtimes below.

Dune is 2 hours and 35 minutes long.

What is Dune Rated?

Dune is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "sequences of strong violence, some disturbing images and suggestive material."

Dune has gotten a mostly positive critical reception, earning it, at the time of this writing, an 86 on Rotten Tomatoes and a 77 on Metacritic. Our own critic gave it a 7 out of 10, writing, "This is a technically brilliant, visually amazing movie with a top-notch cast and deep sci-fi concepts. A shame, then, that it feels like a drag in its back half." Check out our Dune review for more information.

This is an advanced review from the London Film Festival. Belfast opens in the US on Nov. 12 and in the UK on Feb. 25, 2022.

Having plundered Shakespeare, Disney, Marvel, and most recently Agatha Christie for material, director Kenneth Branagh heads closer to home for new movie Belfast, crafting a film about his childhood in Northern Ireland, which played out as sectarian violence was tearing the region apart. The result is Branagh’s most personal film to date, and one of his very best.

Belfast begins in the present, the sun shining as Van Morrison sings, and we’re presented with a whistle-stop tour of Northern Ireland’s capital. The only sign of trouble/The Troubles is a mural featuring masked men, which the camera pans above as color turns to black and white, and we’re transported to a street in the center of the city on Aug. 15, 1969.

Kids are laughing and kicking a ball, or fighting with makeshift swords and shields, the pictures presenting an idyllic vision of childhood. But a blast of mortars and firebombs breaks that spell, as a violent mob invades the street and orders all Catholics out of what they’ve deemed to be a Protestant neighborhood, the perpetrators adding “if you talk to the police we’ll be back for you too.”

Confusion and chaos briefly reign, then in a flash everything changes. Barricades go up, tanks and armed soldiers patrol the streets, and freedom is suddenly a thing of the past. It’s a startling opening sequence, and one that sets an ominous tone for what’s to follow.

Yet while that tension simmers beneath the surface throughout proceedings, the bulk of Belfast is far gentler, being a coming-of-age tale very much based on Branagh’s youth. His celluloid surrogate is Buddy – played with a combination of mischief and smarts by newcomer Jude Hill – a normal 9-year-old who loves his family, football, and films. And we view this changing world through his eyes, metaphorically, and sometimes literally as Branagh frequently stations his camera at a kid’s eye level, to truly place us in Buddy’s shoes.

The youngster tries to make sense of what’s happening by eavesdropping on his Pa (50 Shades of Grey’s Jamie Dornan) and Ma (Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe), but they don’t have the answers. Pa’s building work takes him away from the family for weeks on end, and when he’s home, Dad finds himself torn between doing what he deems to be right, and protecting his family from the horrors that now surround them. Meanwhile, Ma is struggling to make ends meet, drowning in debt, hiding from the rent man, and feeling like she’s raising her children alone.

It’s through their plight that Branagh tackles the political, religious, and financial plights faced by both his own family, and the households they lived alongside. There are times when these scenes slip into melodrama, especially when money becomes the subject of their arguments. But the writer-director also uses sentiment as a weapon, most notably during Buddy’s scenes with grandparents Pop (Ciaran Hinds) and Granny (Judi Dench).

These are the film’s quietest moments, with the child asking for help with his maths homework, or advice for how to impress the girl he’s crushing on. And the grandparents are beautifully played by the actors, with Hinds delivering life lessons and homespun wisdom with real warmth and charm. But they are also where Branagh vents his frustration with the ever-worsening situation. “There’s only one answer” Buddy states mid-way through the movie. “If that were true” comes the response from Pop, “people wouldn’t be blowing themselves up all across town.”

Aside from the object of his affections, Buddy’s other obsession is cinema, inspiring some of the film’s most autobiographical scenes. A trip to see Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC clearly helps the lad through puberty, while Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ignites his imagination, the film’s color breaking through Belfast’s stark black-and-white palette. A festive theater visit is a glimpse at things to come, while Buddy’s beloved Thor comic is a sly nod to Branagh’s MCU future.

TV also helps him navigate life, though not grim news broadcasts about “the explosive situation in Northern Ireland,” which Buddy ignores in favor of playing with toy cars. Rather, it’s the westerns he watches to learn something of the ways of the world, including The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and High Noon, though the latter foreshadows the film’s climax in heavy-handed fashion.

That finale drives the family to a potentially violent crossroads, but beyond condemning the campaign of intimidation that engulfed the city – represented by Colin Morgan’s terrifying Billy Clanton demanding “cash or commitment” to the cause – Belfast avoids taking sides, and works hard to remain even-handed. So when Catholicism is said to be the religion of fear, Branagh follows that proclamation with a Protestant priest delivering a sermon that’s pure fire and brimstone. His words terrify poor Buddy, but also inspire one of the film’s funniest moments.

It’s these episodic slices of life that truly elevate Belfast. From dancing in the street and cooking an “Ulster Fry” to playing Subbuteo and opening presents on Christmas morning, they are glimpsed memories that Branagh clearly treasures, beautifully photographed by the filmmaker’s long-time cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos.

His inspired use of focus, wide shots, and depth of field bring each remembrance to life in spellbinding fashion. All the while, the music of Van Morrison – including hits like Warm Love, Jackie Wilson Said, Days Like These, and Dark Side of the Street – capture the mood, underscore Buddy’s optimism, and successfully marry Branagh’s words with Zambarloukos’s visuals.

Supply Chain Problems

The reason Black Friday is even more stretched out this year is because of the supply chain disruptions we've all been hearing a lot about lately. All retailers are worried about having items in stock for holiday shoppers to buy, thanks to a variety of issues mostly related to the pandemic. To keep the items from selling out immediately during the holiday shopping rush, retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, and more are offering Black Friday-level discounts early, in hopes that customers will do their shopping throughout October and November. So if you want to do your part to ease the pressure on the global supply chain, start your shopping early.

Mythic Quest, Apple TV Plus’ workplace comedy set in a fictional video game studio, has been renewed for both a third and fourth season. The new season will premiere in 2022 before the third season of Ted Lasso.

In a short video to commemorate the renewals, Mythic Quest star and co-creator Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) FaceTimes academy award winner and Mythic Quest guest star Anthony Hopkins with the renewal announcement.

Hi. Ron here. We have an announcement! @AppleTVPlus @mythic_quest @TedLasso #MythicQuest pic.twitter.com/lOM3jYFw78

— Rob McElhenney (@RMcElhenney) October 21, 2021

The call doesn’t go quite as planned, though Sir Anthony Hopkins does appear more interested in a potential guest appearance on Ted Lasso than any reappearances on Mythic Quest (for which he was nominated for an Emmy).

Mythic Quest is set in a fictional video game development studio that created the popular MMORPG of the same name. It’s a pretty loving send-up to video games, though it’s more of a workplace comedy than an inside-baseball look at the video game industry.

The second season is where the show hits its stride, according to our review. Also, check out our Ted Lasso season 2 review for more on Apple’s popular TV offerings.
