From Steam to screen: 5 console games that deserve an adaptation

From HBO's 'Last of Us' to Netflix's 'Arcane', modern video game adaptations have proven that console games are hot properties for screen adaptations.

Assassin's Creed

The 2016 film starring Michael Fassbender may have been a dud, but Ubisoft has not given up: a Netflix series has reportedly been in development for a while.

God of War

Kratos has ravaged almost half of mythology, but the real drama lies in the vulnerability—and a different type of strength—that fatherhood demands from him.

Elden Ring

Though this sweeping Game of Thrones-style fantasy has more bosses than plot, the George R.R. Martin seal on the game's foundation makes it a perfect choice for a big-budget film or series.

Dark Souls

Adapting a game famous for its silences and cruelty sounds like a recipe for disaster. However, when done right—even by indie studios—it could be a bold, atmospheric experiment.

Red Dead Redemption

Rockstar's cowboy chronicle is one of gaming's greatest stories, one with enough depth to be a slow-burn Western, where loyalty and betrayal play out against a dying frontier.
