The Garfield movie starring Chris Pratt is being turned into a video game

A Garfield video game is reportedly in the early stages of development in light of the upcoming animated movie that is set to release in 2024.

While many have shared online their disdain at Guardians of the Galaxy actor Chris Pratt voicing almost every new character in the animated world, his upcoming project Garfield has garnered enough attention that it is reportedly being transformed into a video game.

The Garfield movie is set to release on May 24, 2024. The film stars Chris Pratt as the titular character with Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, and Ving Rhames also included in the cast.

The official synopsis for the movie reads, “Garfield has an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father, a scruffy street cat who draws him into a high-stakes heist.” The official trailer for the movie can also be viewed here.

Deadline recently reported that a Garfield game based off of the new movie is in the early stages of planning and development. 

Film projects created by James Wan, Sam Raimi, and Roy Lee attached as producers are set to develop into video games, with Garfield one such project set to get a gaming adaptation.

While many popular video games are being adapted into TV shows and movies, Garfield will do the opposite. However, we do know that cat-led games are a recipe for success, with the 2022 title Stray a major hit within the gaming space.
