HBO Max might be bringing The Last of Us<\/em> <\/em>to streamers in January 2023, and Fallout<\/em> <\/em>seems like it\u2019s not too far behind on Amazon. But as a trailer this week for the animated series Dragon Age<\/em>: Absolution <\/em>quickly reminds us, Netflix is the undisputed home of video game adaptations. It has a whopping 15 projects in the works to go with the big names it has already delivered, like League of Legends spinoff Arcane<\/em>, The Cuphead Show<\/em>, and the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/em>, whose first season premiered in September.<\/p>\n

Encompassing feature films and TV series, both live-action and animated, here\u2019s a recap of everything video games that\u2019s in Netflix\u2019s pipeline, along with the most recent news we\u2019ve heard about it.<\/p>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An \u201cepic, genre-bending\u201d live-action adaptation will be the first series in a partnership Netflix and Ubisoft\u2019s Film & Television group announced in October 2020. The two have more Assassin\u2019s Creed content in mind, but they haven\u2019t said what that might be. At the Ubisoft Forward showcase in September, Netflix and Ubisoft announced they were partnering on a mobile game as well.<\/p>\n

Beyond Good & Evil<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It seems like blasphemy to talk about this getting a screen adaptation, with Beyond Good & Evil 2<\/em>, the long-awaited prequel to the 20-year-old cult hit, practically AWOL since 2018. But, also in 2020, Ubisoft confirmed it was working with Netflix on a Beyond Good & Evil<\/em> <\/em>feature film. \u201cWe look forward to sharing more in the future,\u201d the publisher said. Like with the game, it hasn\u2019t yet.<\/p>\n

BioShock<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Back in February, Netflix said that it, 2K Games, and Take-Two Interactive (2K\u2019s parent company) reached an agreement to make \u201ca film adaptation of the renowned video game franchise BioShock.\u201d 2K Games and Vertical Entertainment are the producing partners. BioShock last saw a video game with 2013\u2019s BioShock Infinite<\/em>, though 2K Games said in 2019 that a new internal studio, Cloud Chamber, was working on the next installment, still \u201cseveral years\u201d away.<\/p>\n

Castlevania: Nocturne<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

After four seasons as an animated hit, Castlevania returns to Netflix with Castlevania: Nocturne<\/em>, led by showrunner Kevin Kolde, who worked on the original series. Castlevania: Nocturne<\/em> will feature Richter Belmont, the protagonist of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood <\/em>and Symphony of the Night<\/em>. Netflix confirmed the animated series was in production back in June.<\/p>\n

Devil May Cry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adi Shankar, executive producer of the animated Castlevania<\/em> series that aired on Netflix from 2017 to 2021, said in 2018 that he had acquired the rights to make an animated DMC series. Last year, Shankar told IGN Japan that the scripts for season 1 were finished, that the first year would consist of eight episodes, and that it was being made with a \u201cmulti-season arc\u201d in mind. Production was supposed to begin earlier this year; no premiere date has been announced.<\/p>\n
