Sony's CES 2025 press conference was huge in entertainment if you're a PlayStation fan. In a series of quick announcements, the company announced that it was producing an anime based on Ghost of Tsushima Legends, cooperative multiplayer mode from the acclaimed game. This was followed by news that Columbia Pictures was in the early stages of developing a film based on the post-apocalyptic PlayStation game. Horizon Zero Dawn. Finally, Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog announced that the second season of the series The Last of Us will air on HBO in April.
We already know something about The Last of Us second season – based on the 2020s The Last of Us Part 2but it won't take us through all the events of the second game. It will take at least two seasons to retell this story. awesome but challenging suffering simulator. This season, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Wright will join season one veterans Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
The remaining projects remain a mystery for now. A little over two years ago we heard that Horizon: Zero Dawn was adapted as a series for Netflixbut the project eventually fell apart. I'm definitely curious to see how they streamline the game's expansive storyline into a tight narrative for a two-hour movie (or even a three-hour one), but hopefully there's a strong creative team behind it.
Regarding Ghost of TsushimaThis is another one of PlayStation Studios' most respected and popular games, with a sequel already on the way, so it's another example of Sony using some of its best gaming titles to expand into the wider entertainment realm, making these stories more accessible. people who are less likely to play a game for 20–40 hours.
From myself personally, The Last of Us And Horizon: Zero Dawn are two of my favorite games of all time, so this 10-minute burst of good news came in handy in the middle of a very long day at CES!
