No longer content to reside on your desktops, consoles, phones, and tablets, videogames are now taking over movie theaters and streaming services. After some strong years on the backs of shows like The Witcher, Arcane, and Castlevania, plus movies like Sonic and Super Mario Bros, Hollywood is finally going all-in on adapting games.Will it produce a lot of terrible movies and shows based on great games? Of course, it already has. Hell, a live-action Pac-Man movie is in the works. That’s gonna beterrible. But there’s bound to be some winners, too. Here’s all the movies and TV series based on games we can look forward to in 2024 and beyond.

2024 Movies and TV shows based on videogames

Sonic Prime, Season 3

Release:January 11, 2024Where to watch:NetflixI haven’t watched any of this Sonic cartoon so I can’t summarize the first two seasons, but I expect Sonic ran real fast and, I dunno, shattered a paradox prism that opened a gateway into a multiverse where he found alternate versions of Tails and Knuckles? Huh, I was right. What a good guesser I am.

Halo, Season 2

Fallout (TV series)

Release:April 12, 2024Where to watch:Prime VideoThe first trailer sure looked good, so our fingers are crossed. It’s set a decade after Fallout 4 in the remains of Los Angeles with Ella Purnell as Lucy, a Vault Dweller, Aaron Moten as Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus, Walton Goggins as “The Ghoul,” Michael Emerson as an intense weirdo, and Chris Parnell as a cyclops. We even got tomeet the castat The Game Awards. Here’s everything elsewe know about the Fallout series.

Borderlands (film)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)

Release:December 20Where to watch:Theaters, Paramount+More of this, I guess? I haven’t seen the first two movies but reviews indicate the Sonic films are, y’know, fine? I’m sure kids love them and that’s what it’s all about. That and hundreds of millions of dollars. Hopefully this Sonic film will be, y’know, fine, too. If it follows the last Sonic movie release it’ll hit theaters first and come to home streaming about a month later.

Ark: The Animated Series

Release:TBAWhere to watch:TBAWith Ark 2 scheduled to arrive at the end of 2024, I can only assume we’ll finally get to see Ark: The Animated Series (announced way back in 2020) around the same time, though a date or even a specific streaming service has yet to be announced. It’s packed with movie star voices like Gerard Butler, Michelle Yeoh, Karl Urban, Russel Crowe, Elliot Page, Jeffrey Wright, and Vin Diesel.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (animated series)

Release:TBAWhere to watch:NetflixNetflix ordered two seasons of this animated series and we’re supposed to get the first one sometime this year. We saw a brief teaser a couple of months ago where Lara does some heavy breathing, jumps into a cave (to raid??), finds something (a tomb??), looks at a picture, and shoots an arrow. Not much to go on, but hopefully we’ll see more soon.

Return to Silent Hill (film)

Release:TBAWhere to watch:TBAThe third movie in the Silent Hill series is also a reboot, based on the game Silent Hill 2. Filming wrapped in summer of 2023 so it makes sense for it to release in 2024, though that hasn’t yet been confirmed. No details on if it’ll be a theatrical release or a streaming title yet, either.

The Witcher, Season 4

Twisted Metal, Season 2

Release:TBAWhere to watch:PeacockAnthony Mackie took two full minutes on stage at The Game Awards to announce a second season of the Peacock show (that’s the length of four 30-second award acceptance speeches!). No word on a release date, and no trailer yet. Rotten Tomatoes has the first season pegged at a surprisingly-good 68% from critics and 94% from average joes.
