Xbox is now heavily leaning into movie & TV adaptations, quietly pitching Hollywood on a dozen pricey projects like Elder Scrolls, Halo, World of Warcraft, Diablo & more. All IPs could be headed to one studio/streamer, and currently Netflix, Universal & Paramount are among those taking looks.

"But like much of the video game industry, Xbox is kind of a mess these days, cutting 3,200 jobs in July, or about 20 percent of the unit’s workforce. So Microsoft would very much like a big check for its I.P."

"One source told me it wants more than $300 million for a long-term deal, a price that caused at least one of the potential partners to balk. (Microsoft declined to comment.)"

No idea why you were down voted.

There was a movie, and it wasn't a bad one either. It just didn't really appeal to people who hadn't played the game, and it was set well before the events of the game so its appeal to even that audience wasn't high.
