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

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

PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash 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 thrilling shooter drawing inspiration from 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.

Further expanding its cinematic universe, Sony also confirmed a film adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn. PlayStation Productions and Columbia Pictures (the studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted adaptation) will spearhead production.

Asad Qizilbash offered an initial glimpse into the project: “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.”
