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.

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.
