Between the A Minecraft Movie and Amazon’s Fallout show, there are already a lot of adaptations of Xbox-owned games out there. Xbox wants more of that world, though, as a new report reveals it has been pitching a package to various big studios that includes more than a dozen of its IPs.
According to a new report from Puck, Xbox is trying to find a buyer for a “bulk studio deal” that would see the suitor eventually turn more than a dozen of the publisher’s biggest IPs into movies and TV shows. Not every IP is listed. However, the ones named include Halo, The Elder Scrolls, World of Warcraft, and Diablo.
Three of the studios Xbox has reportedly pitched the idea to include Netflix, Paramount, and Universal, although representatives from all three declined the chance to comment. Xbox is apparently asking for $300 million for the mega package, and while that might seem like a good deal considering just how much the winning party will have to work with, one studio has already stepped back due to the asking price. It’s unclear which studio that was, or even if it was one of the three mentioned above or an unnamed fourth.
After Hollywood finally figured out how to make good video game adaptations roughly six years ago, there have been countless movies and TV shows spun from some of the biggest games in history. It’s actually a little surprising that there isn’t an Elder Scrolls TV show already.
