PlayStation Productions Drops Exciting Announcements at CES

PlayStation Productions at CES 2025: A Wave of Game Adaptations

PlayStation Productions made a splash at CES 2025, announcing several new video game adaptations for film and television. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, include anime, movies, and a new season of a hit show.

Leading the charge is a new Ghost of Tsushima: Legends anime series, a collaboration between Crunchyroll and Aniplex, slated for a 2027 premiere on Crunchyroll. Takanobu Mizumo will direct, with Gen Urobuchi handling story composition, and Sony Music providing the soundtrack.

Further announcements included film adaptations of Horizon Zero Dawn (produced by Sony Pictures) and Helldivers 2 (handled by Columbia Pictures). Details on these projects remain scarce. However, a surprise reveal included an Until Dawn movie, set for release on April 25, 2025.

Neil Druckmann also took the stage, briefly discussing Naughty Dog's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, before unveiling a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, expanding on the Part II storyline and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

This expansion into video game adaptations builds on PlayStation Productions' previous successes. While earlier adaptations like Resident Evil and Silent Hill had mixed reception among fans, Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023) achieved box office success. The Twisted Metal series on Peacock, though less critically acclaimed than The Last of Us, completed its second season in late 2024, with a release date yet to be announced.

Beyond the CES announcements, PlayStation Productions continues work on Days Gone and Uncharted sequels, along with a God of War television series. The company's continued expansion suggests a bright future for video game adaptations, driven by audience demand and the proven profitability of successful projects.
