Once upon a time, video game adaptations were like a punchline, packed with clunky scripts, miscast protagonists, and plots that barely resembled the source material. Fast-forward to now, and it’s a completely different game. We’re in the middle of a video game adaptation renaissance, where studios are treating beloved titles with the kind of reverence that’s often reserved for epic fantasy novels and comic books. And it’s not just limited to the big screen. Animated series like Arcane and Castlevania, TV shows like The Last of Us, and even anime crossovers like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are proof that video games can inspire rich stories.
