Ghost of Tsushima Anime, Helldivers 2 Movie and More Revealed at PlayStation Productions CES 2025 Presentation

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 January 7th presentation highlighted several projects, expanding the company's reach into film and television.

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 production with Crunchyroll and Aniplex, set to premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027. Takanobu Mizumo will direct, with Gen Urobuchi handling story composition, and Sony Music contributing the soundtrack.

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

• Helldivers 2 (Film): Columbia Pictures is developing a film based on Helldivers 2. Details on both Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 films remain scarce.

• Until Dawn (Film): A film adaptation of Until Dawn is scheduled for release on April 25, 2025.

• The Last of Us Season Two (TV Series): Neil Druckmann revealed a new trailer for season two of The Last of Us, expanding on the story of The Last of Us Part II and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

Past Successes and Ongoing Projects:

PlayStation Productions' previous adaptations, while met with varying critical reception, have demonstrated box office success. Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023) both exceeded their production budgets. The Twisted Metal series (2023) on Peacock 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 work on film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, as well as a God of War TV series.

The continued expansion of PlayStation Productions suggests a strong commitment to adapting its popular game franchises into diverse media, driven by both audience demand and the proven financial viability of these projects.
