PlayStation Productions Unveils Ambitious Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025

PlayStation Productions made a splash at CES 2025, announcing a wave of new game adaptations spanning various genres and formats. The January 7th presentation revealed projects ranging from anime series to feature films, showcasing the company's expanding reach in entertainment.

New Adaptations Announced:

• Ghost of Tsushima: Legends (Anime Series): A new anime series based on the popular Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer mode, Legends, is in development with Crunchyroll and Aniplex, slated for a 2027 premiere on Crunchyroll. Takanobu Mizumo will direct, with Gen Urobuchi handling story composition, and Sony Music contributing to the soundtrack.

• Horizon Zero Dawn (Film): Sony Pictures will produce a feature film adaptation of the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn.

• Helldivers 2 (Film): Columbia Pictures will bring the intense cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 to the big screen. Details on both films remain scarce.

• Until Dawn (Film): A film adaptation of Until Dawn is set for release on April 25, 2025.

• The Last of Us Season Two (TV Series): Neil Druckmann, following a brief mention of Naughty Dog's upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, unveiled a trailer for The Last of Us season two, expanding the narrative to include characters like Abby and Dina from The Last of Us Part II.

Past Successes and Future Projects:

PlayStation Productions' track record includes successful adaptations like the Uncharted film (2022) starring Tom Holland and the Gran Turismo film (2023). The Twisted Metal series (2023) on Peacock, while less critically acclaimed than The Last of Us, completed production on its second season in late 2024.

The studio also has several projects underway, including films based on Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, along with a God of War TV series.

The continued success of PlayStation Productions' adaptations suggests a bright future for video game-to-screen transitions, with more beloved franchises likely to receive the same treatment.
