Sony has announced movies based on Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn

At CES 2025, Sony unveiled plans for a film adaptation of its highly successful game, Helldivers 2. PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures are collaborating on this exciting project.

Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, made the announcement, stating, “We are pleased to announce that we have begun development on a movie based on our incredibly popular game, Helldivers 2.” While specifics remain under wraps, fans can anticipate spectacular space battles brought to life on the big screen.

Developed by Arrowhead Studios, Helldivers 2 is a captivating shooter game reminiscent of the classic Starship Troopers. The game achieved remarkable success, becoming PlayStation Studios' fastest-selling title, surpassing 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 film adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn is also in the works. PlayStation Productions and Columbia Pictures (the studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted adaptation) will spearhead production.

Asad Qizilbash offered an initial glimpse into the Horizon Zero Dawn movie, sharing, “We are just starting to work on the Horizon Zero Dawn movie, but we can already promise the audience: this world and its characters will be presented in a cinematic format for the first time.”
