Sony has announced movies based on Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn

Sony's PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures are bringing the acclaimed video game Helldivers 2 to the big screen. The exciting news was revealed at CES 2025 by PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash, who stated, "We're thrilled to announce that we've commenced development on a film adaptation of our immensely popular game, Helldivers 2." While specifics remain under wraps, audiences can anticipate spectacular space combat sequences.

Developed by Arrowhead Studios, Helldivers 2, a shooter reminiscent of Starship Troopers, quickly became a PlayStation Studios bestseller, achieving 12 million sales within its first 12 weeks. Its popularity surged further with the Illuminate update, reintroducing a familiar enemy faction from the original game.

Adding to the excitement, a Horizon Zero Dawn movie is also in the works, a collaboration between PlayStation Studios and Columbia Pictures – the studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted adaptation.

Qizilbash offered an initial glimpse into the Horizon Zero Dawn project: "We're in the early stages of production for the Horizon Zero Dawn movie, but we can assure fans that this world and its characters will receive their first-ever cinematic treatment."
