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 based on popular PlayStation franchises.

Key Announcements:

• Ghost of Tsushima: Legends Anime Series: A new anime series based on Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is in the works, a collaboration between Crunchyroll and Aniplex, set to premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027. Takanobu Mizumo will direct, with Gen Urobuchi handling story composition, and Sony Music partnering on the soundtrack.

• Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 Films: Film adaptations of Horizon Zero Dawn (produced by Sony Pictures) and Helldivers 2 (produced by Columbia Pictures) are officially in development, though details remain scarce.

• Until Dawn Film Adaptation: A film adaptation of Until Dawn is set for release on April 25, 2025.

• The Last of Us Season Two: Neil Druckmann revealed a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, confirming its adaptation of the The Last of Us Part II storyline and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

Past Successes and Future Projects:

PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, has already achieved box office success with Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023). While previous adaptations like Resident Evil and Silent Hill had mixed reception, the studio's recent successes suggest a growing understanding of adapting video games for the big and small screen. The Twisted Metal series, which concluded its second season's production in late 2024, awaits a release date announcement.

Beyond the CES announcements, PlayStation Productions continues work on film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to Uncharted, along with a God of War TV series.

The continued expansion of PlayStation Productions signals a strong commitment to expanding popular PlayStation franchises into other media, driven by both audience demand and the proven financial viability of successful adaptations.
