CES is often the hub of latest expertise, however Sony took the chance to make CES 2025 the place for some main leisure bulletins which might be positive to excite PlayStation players.
The most rapid being that The Last of Us season 2 is touchdown in April on HBO and Max. No exact launch date has been given but, however we’re however excited that there is simply 4 months to attend till we are able to meet up with the following stage of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) journey within the fungal apocalypse.
We additionally obtained an replace on the Until Dawn movie – which relies on Sony’s select your personal horror journey recreation of the identical identify. Peter Stormare – who’s reprising his function of Dr. Alan J. Hill – appeared on stage through a prerecorded clip to verify that the movie (which is scheduled to land on April 25 this yr) will deal with a brand new plot and solid – or “victims” as he described them. There was some uncertainty on if the movie can be a direct remake of the video games, however that now doesn’t appear to be the case.
Then we obtained a trio of latest bulletins, beginning with Sony’s affirmation we’re getting a movie based mostly on Horizon Zero Dawn (one in all my favourite video games of the previous few years). This reimagining will present us Aloy’s story of survival in post-apocalyptic world (Sony loves its dystopias, huh) as she makes an attempt to grasp what induced the world’s high-tech society to break down and be reborn as hunters armed with bows and spears preventing in opposition to high-tech animalistic robots.
Much like The Last of Us, we count on this will probably be a reasonably devoted retelling of the Horizon Zero Dawn story based mostly on what Sony has stated to date – with a couple of modifications made to swimsuit the brand new medium – although particulars are mild.
Next up is a Helldivers 2 movie. Helldivers 2 took the world by storm in 2024, being the quickest promoting PlayStation Studios recreation of all time that had tens of millions of gamers spreading “Managed Democracy” by no matter means essential. The tongue-in-cheek political satire which underpins the shooter’s gameplay takes heavy inspiration from Starship Troopers and we count on followers of that movie and the sport alike will benefit from the Helldivers movie when it releases.
Finally, Sony revealed that Ghost Of Tsushima: Legends – the multiplayer spin-off based mostly on the bottom recreation – is getting an anime adaption which is able to air completely on Sony-owned Crunchyroll.
Beyond an announcement that they are in improvement Sony has been mild on particulars for this trio of tasks, however we count on plot and launch information will probably be revealed in the end.
