PlayStation CES Unveils Ghost of Tsushima Movie, Helldivers Sequel

PlayStation Productions Unveils Ambitious Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025

PlayStation Productions made a significant splash at CES 2025, announcing a diverse range of video game adaptations slated for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included anime series, films, and a highly anticipated season of a popular television show.

New Adaptations Announced:

• Ghost of Tsushima: Legends (Anime Series): A new anime series based on the Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer mode, Legends, will premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027. Directed by Takanobu Mizumo, with story composition by Gen Urobuchi, and featuring a musical collaboration with Sony Music.

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

• Helldivers 2 (Film): Columbia Pictures is developing a film based on 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 revealed a new trailer for the second season of The Last of Us, expanding upon the story of The Last of Us Part II, introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

Past Successes and Future Projects:

PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, has already achieved considerable success with adaptations such as Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023), both of which exceeded box office expectations. The Twisted Metal series (2023), while less critically acclaimed than The Last of Us, completed production of its second season in late 2024, though a release date is yet to be announced.

Beyond the CES announcements, PlayStation Productions continues to develop adaptations of Days Gone, a sequel to Uncharted, and a God of War television series.

The continued success and expansion of PlayStation Productions strongly suggest that more beloved PlayStation franchises will be adapted for film and television in the future, fueled by audience demand and the proven viability of these adaptations.
