With both Detective Pikachu and Sonic The Hedgehog both recently proving that done right, an appetite surely does exist for cinematic video game adaptations, one can’t help but wonder what other famed franchises could be next to make the jump from consoles to the big screen. We know, of course, that reboots of Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil are in the pipeline to release in the not so distant future, but there’s a distinct lack of high fantasy in that ever-growing list.
After all, the monumental success enjoyed by shows such as Game of Thrones and The Witcher has proven time and again that stories told within a glamorized medieval framework have an audience, and what better ambassador for the genre in gaming is there than The Elder Scrolls? Bethesda’s critically acclaimed series has been kicking about since the late 90s but only truly gained widespread recognition with 2006’s Oblivion.
