CES 2025 is in full swing, and Sony Pictures brought some heavy hitting game adaptation announcements to the show including Horizon Zero Dawn.
At its CES 2025 show, Sony unveiled a wealth of new details surrounding upcoming video game adaptations. In a slate that already includes adaptations of hit gaming franchises like the upcoming God of War adaptation, Uncharted, The Last of Us and Twisted Metal have already made the jump from game to film/TV series. The Last of Us in particular has reached meteoric levels of popularity and won numerous awards, so Sony may be seeking to capture lightning in a bottle twice.
The latest round of adaptations from Sony revealed at CES 2024 include new movies based on Helldivers and Horizon Zero Dawn. PlayStation Studios’ Asad Qizilbash and Screen Gems’ Ashley Brucks both revealed more details about the Helldivers 2 film adaptation which will be made by Screen Gems, a distribution studio that is a division of Sony Pictures Group.

Sony also revealed Guerilla Games’ Horizon series will be in fact getting a film adaptation. The Horizon series (starting with Horizon Zero Dawn) has seen itself branch into other mediums already with a LEGO game release, and a VR spinoff called Horizon Call of the Mountain.
