PlayStation Unveils Animated Ghost of Tsushima, Helldivers Movie at CES

PlayStation Productions Unveils New Game Adaptations at CES 2025

PlayStation Productions made a splash at CES 2025, announcing several new video game adaptations. The January 7th presentation featured a diverse slate of projects, spanning animation, film, and television.

New Adaptations Announced:

The highlight of the announcements was the reveal of a 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 contributing the soundtrack.

Furthermore, film adaptations of Horizon Zero Dawn (produced by Sony Pictures) and Helldivers 2 (produced by Columbia Pictures) are in development. Details remain scarce, but the presentation also teased an Until Dawn film adaptation, set for release on April 25, 2025.

Neil Druckmann concluded the presentation with a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, expanding on the story of The Last of Us Part II, introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

Past Successes and Future Projects:

This marks a continued expansion of PlayStation Productions' efforts in adapting its popular games. Previous successes include the Uncharted film (2022), the Gran Turismo film (2023), and the Twisted Metal series (2023), which is currently in production for season 2. Though reception has varied across these projects, their box office and viewership success demonstrates the potential of video game adaptations.

Unannounced projects in development include films based on Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, as well as a God of War television series.

The continued success and expansion of PlayStation Productions suggests that more PlayStation game franchises will be adapted in the coming years, driven by audience demand and the proven viability of these adaptations.
