PlayStation Productions Unveils Ambitious Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025

At CES 2025, PlayStation Productions made a significant splash, announcing several new adaptations of popular PlayStation games. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included anime, film, and television projects, showcasing the company's expanding reach into the world of entertainment.

New Adaptations Announced:

• Ghost of Tsushima: Legends (Anime): A new anime series based on the popular Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer mode, Legends, is in the works, a collaboration between Crunchyroll and Aniplex. Directed by Takanobu Mizumo, with story composition by Gen Urobuchi, and featuring a musical partnership with Sony Music, the series is slated for a Crunchyroll exclusive premiere in 2027.

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

• Helldivers 2 (Film): Columbia Pictures is set to produce 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): Neil Druckmann revealed a new trailer for season two of The Last of Us, adapting elements from The Last of Us Part II, 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 performed strongly at the box office. The Twisted Metal series, while not as critically acclaimed as 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 2025 announcements, PlayStation Productions continues work on film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, as well as a God of War television series.

The continued expansion of PlayStation Productions suggests a growing commitment to adapting its popular video game franchises into other media, driven by audience demand and the proven success of past projects.
