Kingmakers hasn’t been released yet, but its striking premise is already making waves beyond the games industry. The upcoming title, which blends medieval warfare with modern military technology, is officially set to receive a live-action film adaptation developed for Netflix.
The project is notable because Kingmakers is still in development and has not entered Early Access. Despite this, the game’s core concept, sending a modern soldier back in time to alter the outcome of a medieval war using contemporary weapons has proven compelling enough to attract interest from the film industry early on.
According to the announcement, the Netflix adaptation will be produced by Anonymous Content, a production company known for high-profile film and television projects. The movie is planned as a live-action adaptation, focusing on the game’s central time-travel premise rather than directly recreating specific gameplay events.
Kingmakers is being developed by Redemption Road Games and published by tinyBuild. While the studio has shared gameplay footage and detailed the game’s sandbox-driven structure, there is currently no confirmed release date and no Early Access window announced. The game is still positioned as an upcoming title rather than an active product.
The early move into film highlights a growing trend in the industry, where strong concepts are adapted across media before a game’s release. In Kingmakers’ case, the visual and thematic clash between modern warfare and medieval armies appears to be the driving force behind that confidence.
For now, Kingmakers remains a project to watch rather than play. Whether the Netflix film arrives before or after the game itself is still unclear, but the adaptation signals that Kingmakers is already being viewed as more than just a standalone game.
