PlayStation Productions Unveils Ambitious Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025
PlayStation Productions made a splash at CES 2025, announcing a wave of new video game adaptations set for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included anime series, films, and a highly anticipated season two of a popular TV show.
New Adaptations Announced:
- Ghost of Tsushima: Legends (Anime Series): A new anime series based on Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, produced by Crunchyroll and Aniplex, is slated for a 2027 premiere on Crunchyroll. Takanobu Mizumo will direct, with Gen Urobuchi handling story composition, and Sony Music contributing the soundtrack.
-
Horizon Zero Dawn (Film): Sony Pictures will produce a film adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn.
-
Helldivers 2 (Film): Columbia Pictures is developing a film based on Helldivers 2. 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 revealed a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, which will adapt the storyline from The Last of Us Part II, introducing characters like Abby and Dina.
Past Successes and Ongoing Projects:
PlayStation Productions' foray into adaptations began with the Resident Evil film franchise (2002 onwards) and the Silent Hill film (2006), both commercially successful despite mixed critical reception. The studio, founded in 2019, has since delivered successful adaptations like Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (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 (release date pending).
Beyond the CES announcements, PlayStation Productions continues work on film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, along with a God of War TV series.
The continued success and expansion of PlayStation Productions suggest that more beloved PlayStation franchises will likely receive adaptations in the future, driven by fan demand and the proven viability of video game-to-screen transitions.
