Hey Mike, great vid! A few of these games do have books. Mass Effect has 4 books that take place around the trilogy (first 3 are great, 4th is bad) and 3 books that take place around Andromeda. Bioshock has a prequel novel about Rapture that I’ve heard good things about. Gears of War actually does have books, like 6 or 7 of them. Most take place inbetween games but you get some backstory on other characters. You do get younger Dom & Marcus in the first book. There’s also a few Elder Scrolls books, 2 novels and 2 lore books. There’s a bunch of Zelda manga too but those are just adaptations of the game.

In the sci-fi category, I would love to see a long form series in the world of Destiny/Destiny 2. The personal stories of each of the main characters (Zavala, Ikora, and Cayde-6) alone would be worth it. Add to it the arrival of the Traveler, the formation of the Guardians to begin with, Siva, the construction of the Warminds, especially Rasputin, the Iron Lords, the first collapse, the origins of the Awoken and their Queen Mara Sov..... There is so much that could be mined for a novel series. There is some in game lore and Bungie has created some volumes of that lore, but there is still enough that is unpublished that would fill 50+ novels, at least.

Dishonored is a franchise I was hungry to explore the lore of and there are books and graphic novels that explore that world also. Dragon Age also has some pretty good novels that expand on the lore of that franchise.

Karen Traviss has some decent series adjacent Gears novels while Drew Karpyshyn has some good original series adjacent Mass Effect novels as well (there are also a few that follow Andromeda).

Im not a huge gamer but I’ve always wanted to spend some time playing Elden Ring. I feel like that would make good novels. I also really enjoyed Dark Souls and would like that one as well

There actually is a book series for Gears and comics! Haven’t read them yet, but in the process of tracking them down in decent condition.

You did give the disclaimer but Elder scrolls already has a book series though I think they only made 2 or 3

I think about the lack of Fallout novels at least 1 or 2 times a year, it's so upsetting. There are some Elder Scrolls novels, but zero Fallout ones. As pointed out already, there are some Mass Effect books (there's even at least one about ME Andromeda). I don't think you mentioned Dragon Age, I highly recommend the games if you haven't played them, and they also have some books. I wish there were more Cyberpunk 2077 novels.
