Sony Announces Movie Adaptations: From 'Helldivers 2' to 'Horizon Zero Dawn'

Sony's PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures are teaming up for a film adaptation of the hit game, Helldivers 2, as announced at CES 2025.

Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, made the exciting announcement: "We're thrilled to confirm that we've commenced development on a movie based on the incredibly popular Helldivers 2." While specifics remain under wraps, fans can anticipate spectacular space combat brought to life on the silver screen.

Developed by Arrowhead Studios, Helldivers 2 is a thrilling shooter drawing inspiration from the classic Star Troopers franchise. The game achieved phenomenal success, becoming PlayStation Studios' fastest-selling title, boasting 12 million copies sold within its first 12 weeks. Its popularity surged further with the Illuminate update, reintroducing a beloved enemy faction from the original Helldivers.

Adding to the excitement, a Horizon Zero Dawn movie is also in the works, a collaboration between PlayStation Studios and Columbia Pictures – the studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted adaptation.

Qizilbash offered a sneak peek at the Horizon Zero Dawn project: "We're in the early stages of the Horizon Zero Dawn movie, but we can assure audiences that this world and its characters will receive their first-ever cinematic treatment."
