PlayStation Productions made a splash at CES 2025, announcing a wave of new video game adaptations slated for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included several high-profile projects.
New Adaptations Announced:
- Ghost of Tsushima: Legends Anime Series: A new anime series based on Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a co-op mode from the popular game, is in the works, with Crunchyroll and Aniplex partnering for an exclusive premiere in 2027. Takanobu Mizumo will direct, Gen Urobuchi will handle story composition, and Sony Music will contribute to the soundtrack.

The Last of Us Season Two: Neil Druckmann revealed a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, confirming its adaptation of the The Last of Us Part II storyline and the introduction of characters like Abby and Dina.
Previous Adaptations and Ongoing Projects:
PlayStation Productions' success builds upon previous adaptations, including the Uncharted film (2022) starring Tom Holland and the Gran Turismo film (2023), both of which performed strongly at the box office. The Twisted Metal series (Peacock, 2023) completed its second season in late 2024, though a release date is yet to be announced.
Further projects in development include film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, along with a God of War television series.
The continued expansion of PlayStation Productions suggests a strong commitment to bringing beloved PlayStation franchises to new audiences through diverse media. The success of these adaptations will likely influence future decisions on which games receive similar treatment.
