Sony’s CES 2025 press conference was big on entertainment if you’re a PlayStation fan. In a series of quick announcements, the company announced that it is making an anime based on it The wind of Tsushima fairy tales, multiplayer co-op mode from the acclaimed game. Then came news that Columbia Pictures was in the early stages of making a film based on the post-apocalyptic PlayStation game. Horizon Zero Dawn. Finally, Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog came out to announce that second season The Last of Us will hit HBO in April.
We already know a little about it The Last of Us season two – based on the 2020’s 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 the story of that tragic but complex simulator. This season, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Catherine O’Hara and Jeffery Wright joined season one veterans Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
Other projects are still a mystery for now. More than two years ago, we heard that Horizon Zero Dawn was being developed as a Netflix series, but the project eventually fell through. I’m curious to see how they’ll organize the game’s sprawling storyline into a solid two-hour (or even three-hour) movie, but hopefully a solid creative team is behind this one.
According to The wind of Tsushimais one of the most well-regarded and popular titles of PlayStation Studios, with subsequent lips on the way, so this is another example of Sony using some of its best gaming titles to expand into a wider area of ​​entertainment — making these stories more accessible. for people who have less chance to play a 20 to 40 hour game. After the event, Sony said that the series will only be shown on Crunchyroll in 2027.
In a personal letter, The Last of Us again Horizon Zero Dawn they’re two of my favorite games of all time, so this 10-minute burst of good news was very welcome during a very long day at CES!
Update, January 7, 2:40PM ET: This article has been updated to add a release window to the platform The wind of Tsushima anime.
