PlayStation Productions at CES 2025: A Wave of Game Adaptations

At CES 2025, PlayStation Productions made a splash, announcing several new video game adaptations slated for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements included anime, movies, and a new season of a popular TV series.

New Adaptations Unveiled:

The January 7th, 2025 presentation featured several exciting reveals:

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

• Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 Films: Movie adaptations of these popular games are in development. Sony Pictures will produce the Horizon Zero Dawn film, while Columbia Pictures will handle Helldivers 2. Details remain scarce.

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

• The Last of Us Season Two: Neil Druckmann unveiled a new trailer for the second season of The Last of Us, adapting the storyline from The Last of Us Part II and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

With these numerous projects underway, PlayStation Productions is clearly expanding its reach into film and television. Success in these ventures could pave the way for even more game adaptations in the future.

Past Successes and Ongoing Projects:

PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, has already achieved notable success with adaptations like Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023), both of which performed well at the box office. The Twisted Metal series (2023) on Peacock, while less critically acclaimed than The Last of Us, completed production on its second season in late 2024.

Beyond the CES 2025 announcements, PlayStation Productions continues to work on several other projects, including film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, as well as a God of War TV series.

The continued success and expansion of PlayStation Productions suggest that many more beloved PlayStation franchises could see adaptations in the years to come, driven by fan demand and the proven profitability of these ventures.
