Paramount Games Studio announced at Summer Game Fest that it is evaluating video game adaptations of the Yellowstone and Lioness television series, as well as other Sheridan‑created franchises such as Landman and Tulsa King.

Paramount Games Studio, a newly formed division of Paramount, said it will prioritize adaptations of its flagship franchises, including Ninja Turtles, Star Trek, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and SpongeBob SquarePants, while also targeting the "Sheridanverse" of shows created by Taylor Sheridan.

In June, head of creative and production Shawn Kittelsen told Polygon that the studio is taking a measured approach to licensing, emphasizing the need to select partners who can faithfully represent the source material.

Kittelsen said the studio will not license properties indiscriminately, stating that it wants to "honor the relationship" with fans and avoid "spray and pray" tactics.

Kittelsen noted that the player's perspective should drive development decisions, meaning the studio will favor partners with proven track records in creating "classic" games.

Paramount Games has already partnered with PlatinumGames, the developer of Bayonetta, to work on an adaptation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, a project whose trailer revealed only a brief glimpse of a futuristic New York setting.

While no specifics have been disclosed about potential Yellowstone or Lioness video games, Kittelsen emphasized that the studio will be selective in choosing partners for those projects as well.

The timeline for any Yellowstone or Lioness video game remains undetermined, and it is unclear which developer might be tapped to create the titles.
