PlayStation Productions Unveils Ambitious Slate of Game Adaptations at CES 2025
PlayStation Productions made a significant splash at CES 2025, announcing a wave of new game adaptations slated for release in 2025 and beyond. The announcements, made on January 7th, 2025, included several highly anticipated projects.
Key Announcements:
- Ghost of Tsushima: Legends Anime Series: A new anime series based on the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends multiplayer mode is in the works, a collaboration between Crunchyroll and Aniplex. Set to premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027, the series will be directed by Takanobu Mizumo, with story composition by Gen Urobuchi. Sony Music will handle the music and soundtrack.

The Last of Us Season Two: Neil Druckmann unveiled a new trailer for The Last of Us season two, confirming its adaptation of the The Last of Us Part II storyline and introducing characters like Abby and Dina.
Past Successes and Future Projects:
PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, has already achieved success with adaptations like Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023), both of which exceeded box office expectations. The Twisted Metal series, while not universally lauded, completed production of its second season in late 2024 (release date pending).
Beyond the CES announcements, PlayStation Productions is also developing film adaptations of Days Gone and a sequel to the Uncharted film, along with a God of War television series.
The continued expansion of PlayStation Productions suggests a growing commitment to adapting its popular game franchises into diverse media, driven by audience demand and the proven success of previous ventures.
