When thinking about games based on books, the Witcher immediately comes to mind. Hugely popular and a insane financial success. It’s surprising that so few games followed suit, especially when film and TV are adapting books left and right.

- Metro Series
- I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series

With three mainline games and a number of expansions and spin-offs, The Witcher is one of the most beloved RPG franchises in gaming. Where Geralt of Rivia and his adventures began, though, was with a 1986 short story by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. This short story, simply titled "Wiedzmin' (or "Witcher" in English), eventually grew into a seri...
In the Metro series, players try to survive life in a post-apocalyptic Russia that has seen its surface become completely inhospitable after nuclear bombs leave the area bathed in intense radiation. While the first game acts as a fairly traditional adaptation of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky's 2002 novel of the same name, the games and books act...
Harlan Ellison's short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Screamis an intense short story from his collection of the same name that brings together science fiction and pure horror. The story, set in the far future, follows the last few people alive on Earth after a supercomputer develops an insatiable hatred for humanity. The computer, in control of...
Cyberpunk 2077 continued CD Projekt Red's tradition of basing their games on established properties, though, with this open-world foray into science fiction, they found their inspiration in a different type of book. Instead of a traditional novel, Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the Cyberpunk series of tabletop roleplaying books written by Mike Pondsmit...
While dozens of games sport the Tom Clancy name and branding, few are actually based on novels that the author wrote. Penning best-selling books like The Hunt For Red October and The Sum of All Fears, Clancy also co-founded developer Red Storm Entertainment in 1998, which released the game Rainbow Sixbased on his novel of the same name. Eventually,...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s connection to literature isn't quite as close as a direct adaptation, but it's clear that much of the game's setting and premise stem from Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's 1977 work of Russian science fiction Roadside Picnic. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is, more specifically, an adaptation of Andrei Tarkovsky's similarly-titled 1978 movie Stalker,...
Visceral Game's 2010 Dante's Infernomay have eschewed any social commentary and subtlety present in Italian poet Dante Alighieri's original 12th classic work of the same name, but the violent third-person slasher still took much thematic inspiration from this famous depiction of the Christian underworld. While wildly different in tone and plot, Dan...
The horror stories of author H. P Lovecraft have indirectly inspired many games, but a few, like developer Cyanide's 2018 Call of Cthulhu, take more direct inspiration from the famous mythos. Though their reliance on cosmic horror and what's not seen often make the author's work difficult to adapt, Call of Cthulhu cleverly mixed a number of stories...
Hideaki Sena's 1996 sci-fi horror novel Parasite Eveasks the question, "What if mitochondria were actually part of a sentient being waiting to overtake the entire planet?" The premise may sound strange, but the novel went on to be the very first recipient of the Japanese Horror Novel Award and led to the development of both manga and video game ser...
The Conan intellectual property may owe its look, setting, and stories to a number of entrainment mediums, but they all started with Robert E. Howard's 20+ stories, poems and essays published in the 1930s. These stories, set during the fictional Hyborian Age of Earth (between the sinking of Atlantis and the rise of known ancient civilizations), hav...
Jun 2, 2015 · A lot of the games we’ve looked at so far are more or less direct adaptations of a book, but there are plenty of original games that still owe several of their ideas to works of literature.
From The Witcher to Rainbow Six, books inspired some of the biggest games of all time.
