Taylor Sheridan's modern Western empire is about to saddle up for a whole new medium. Paramount Games has confirmed that the creator's biggest hits—including Yellowstone, Landman, Tulsa King, and possibly Lioness—are top priorities for video game adaptations. The revelation came from Shawn Kittelsen, the newly appointed head of creative and production at Paramount Games Studio, during an interview with Polygon.
Kittelsen stated that "All of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone-adjacent titles like Landman and Tulsa King are all priorities for us." This marks the first official acknowledgment that the Dutton family saga and its spin-offs could be making the leap from the small screen to interactive entertainment. While no specific platforms or release dates have been announced, the prospect of a big-budget, AAA Yellowstone game is now very real.
The move aligns with Paramount's broader push into gaming. Last week, the studio announced new titles based on beloved franchises like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Adding Sheridan's gritty, character-driven worlds to that slate could give gamers a fresh take on the modern American frontier.
Of all the shows in Sheridan's universe, Lioness—a dark ops military thriller starring Zoe Saldaña—offers perhaps the most obvious hook for an action-packed game. Its high-stakes covert missions and tactical combat could translate brilliantly to an interactive format. Meanwhile, Tulsa King could lean into crime drama mechanics, and Landman might explore the rough-and-tumble world of oil drilling.
Sheridan's shows have been dominating Paramount+ and Paramount Network, with Lioness currently tearing up the streaming charts. The series just wrapped its third season, and while Paramount hasn't officially renewed it for a fourth, the cast and creatives have expressed interest in continuing. The season finale left viewers with a cliffhanger, and with such strong viewership numbers, a renewal seems likely.
Sheridan has announced he will leave Paramount at the end of 2028, but for now, his entire slate remains under the studio's banner. That gives Paramount Games a clear window to develop and release titles tied to his franchises. Fans can also look forward to more seasons of Marshals and Dutton Ranch, both of which have been renewed, though only Marshals has a confirmed return date.
For those eager to dive into Sheridan's world beyond the screen, the video game expansion is an exciting prospect. Whether you're herding cattle in Montana or navigating the oil fields of West Texas, the possibilities are as vast as the open plains. Stay tuned for more updates as Paramount Games fleshes out its plans.
In the meantime, catch new episodes of Lioness every week on Paramount+, and keep an eye on what's streaming this weekend for more entertainment picks.
