Game-inspired movies and series just keep coming | Kaser Focus

It only took decades, but the film and TV industry is finally trying hard to crack the code to making good game-to-film/series adaptations. And maybe something was in the water this week, because I feel like I heard about more new projects than I usually do. We’re getting a God of War series, a Death Stranding film and a Warhammer 40,000 series (or possibly film; they weren’t perfectly clear). This is on top of the existing projects we already knew about, such as the upcoming Mario movie and Last of Us shows. Heck, the Dragon Age Netflix series just premiered too.

The tiff between Sony and Microsoft, which is now complicated by several regulatory bodies, continues. New reports suggest that Microsoft’s offer to promise Call of Duty to Sony on paper included streaming options. This would suggest that PlayStation would rather continue this argument that start releasing games on PS Plus at launch. I’m not sure who to even care about in this discussion anymore.
