Many video game movies are set to release in 2026 and beyond, and we can’t wait to see all these titles come to life on the big screen.
If you’re a fan of video game franchises, 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for moviegoers. From Silent Hill and Resident Evil to Super Mario and beyond, a wave of new adaptations is heading to the big screen. Let's dive into all the video game movies to be released in 2026.
Return to Silent Hill
Starting the year with a long-awaited adaptation, Return to Silent Hill is set to hit theaters in January 2026. However, the trailers have received a mixed reaction from the Silent Hill community. While some fans are excited to see the movie, others remain skeptical about the casting choices and a few scenes that appear low-budget.
Laura will be portrayed by Evie Templeton, the same actress who brought the character to life in the Silent Hill 2 remake.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
This movie is probably one of the most anticipated video game movie adaptations of 2026. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set to release in April 2026. It features a star-studded cast of popular Hollywood actors. Jack Black, from the Minecraft Movie, is voicing Broser, while Anya Taylor-Joy will voice Princess Peach, and Chris Pratt will voice Mario. Rosalina will be voiced by Brie Larson, the Captain Marvel herself.
Mortal Kombat 2
Mortal Kombat 2 was originally scheduled for release in 2025, but the studio delayed it. The film now arrives in theaters in May 2026 and delivers intense action and brutal fight scenes. Fan-favorite champions return alongside Johnny Cage as they clash in an ultimate battle against Shao Kahn, whose dark rule threatens the survival of Earthrealm and its defenders.
Resident Evil
Resident Evil will hit theaters in September 2026. However, the details about the project remain limited. What we do know is that Zach Cregger, the filmmaker behind Barbarian and Weapons, will produce the movie. Despite the lack of information, his record in horror sets high expectations for this one.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to the next entry in the franchise. Resident Evil 9 Requiem arrives in February and promises to be one of the standout games of the year.
Street Fighter
Street Fighter will be the last movie of the year. Set to release in October, you can expect a lot of incredible fight scenes. The cast has already been revealed.
