PlayStation Productions Unveils Ambitious Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025

PlayStation Productions made a significant splash at CES 2025, announcing a wave of new video game adaptations slated for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included highly anticipated projects spanning various genres.

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 the works, a collaboration between Crunchyroll and Aniplex. Set for a 2027 premiere on Crunchyroll, the series will be directed by Takanobu Mizumo, with story composition by Gen Urobuchi. Sony Music will handle the music and soundtrack.

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

• Helldivers 2 (Film): Columbia Pictures will handle the film adaptation of Helldivers 2. Details on both the Horizon and Helldivers 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 game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, revealed a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, expanding on the storyline of The Last of Us Part II and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

Past Successes and Future Projects:

PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, has already seen success with adaptations like Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023), both of which exceeded box office expectations. The Twisted Metal series, while not as universally praised as The Last of Us, completed production on its second season in late 2024, though a release date is yet to be announced.

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, though details remain limited. The company's continued expansion into film and television suggests a promising future for video game adaptations, driven by audience demand and the proven success of their previous projects.
