Ghost of Tsushima Anime, Helldivers 2 Movie and More Revealed at PlayStation Productions CES 2025 Presentation

PlayStation Productions Unveils Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025

PlayStation Productions made a splash at CES 2025, announcing several new video game adaptations slated for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included a diverse range of projects, showcasing the studio's expanding reach into film and television.

Among the highlights was the reveal of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a new anime series produced in collaboration with Crunchyroll and Aniplex. Set to premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027, the series will be directed by Takanobu Mizumo, with story composition by Gen Urobuchi. Sony Music will handle the music and soundtrack.

Further announcements included feature films based on Horizon Zero Dawn (produced by Sony Pictures) and Helldivers 2 (produced by Columbia Pictures). While details remain scarce, the event also teased the upcoming 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, confirming its adaptation of the The Last of Us Part II storyline and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.

This expansion into film and television builds upon PlayStation Productions' previous successes. While earlier adaptations like Resident Evil and Silent Hill had mixed reception among fans, Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023) demonstrated significant box office success. The Twisted Metal series, which concluded its second season production in late 2024, also added to the studio's growing portfolio, although its reception was less universally positive than The Last of Us. The release date for Twisted Metal season two is yet to be announced.

Beyond the CES announcements, PlayStation Productions continues to develop adaptations of Days Gone, a sequel to Uncharted, and a God of War television series.

The continued success and expansion of PlayStation Productions strongly suggests that more popular PlayStation franchises will be adapted for film and television in the future, driven by both audience demand and the proven viability of these adaptations.
