Sony has announced movies based on Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn

Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are teaming up for a big-screen adaptation of the hit video game, Helldivers 2. The exciting announcement was made at CES 2025 by Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions. While specifics remain under wraps, Qizilbash confirmed the project's commencement, promising fans spectacular space battles worthy of the cinematic experience.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Studios, is a critically acclaimed shooter drawing inspiration from the classic Starship Troopers. Its phenomenal success is undeniable, achieving the remarkable feat of selling 12 million copies within its first 12 weeks, solidifying its place as PlayStation Studios' fastest-selling title. The recent Illuminate update, reintroducing enemies from the original Helldivers, further fueled the game's popularity.

Adding to the excitement, a film adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn is also in the works, a joint venture between PlayStation Studios and Columbia Pictures – the studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted movie. Qizilbash offered a glimpse into the Horizon Zero Dawn project, stating, "We're in the early stages of development for the Horizon Zero Dawn movie, but we can assure audiences that this world and its characters will receive their first-ever cinematic treatment."
