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 are thrilled to announce that we've commenced development on a film adaptation of our immensely popular game, Helldivers 2." While specifics remain under wraps, fans can anticipate spectacular space battles gracing the silver screen.

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

Adding to the cinematic 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 are in the early stages of the Horizon Zero Dawn film, but we can assure viewers: this universe and its characters will receive their first-ever cinematic treatment."
