Sony's CES 2025 press convention was large on the leisure entrance for those who're a PlayStation fan. In a collection of rapid-fire bulletins, the corporate introduced it was making an anime based mostly on Ghost of Tsushima Legends, the cooperative multiplayer mode from the acclaimed sport. It then adopted that up with information that Columbia Footage was within the early levels of creating a film based mostly on the post-post-apocalyptic PlayStation sport Horizon Zero Daybreak. Lastly, Neil Druckmann from Naughty Canine popped out to announce that season two of The Final of Us would hit HBO in April.
We already know a good bit about The Final of Us season two — its based mostly on 2020's The Final of Us Half 2, but it surely gained't take us by means of all the occasions of the second sport. It'll take at the least two seasons to retell the story of that terrific however complicated distress simulator. This season, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Catherine O'Hara and Jeffery Wright be part of season one veterans Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
The opposite initiatives stay a thriller for now. A bit over two years in the past, we heard that Horizon Zero Daybreak was being tailored as a collection for Netflix, however the challenge ultimately fell aside. I'm undoubtedly curious to see how they'll streamline the sport's sprawling storyline into a decent narrative for a two-hour film (or perhaps a three-hour one), however hopefully a robust inventive workforce is behind this one.
As for Ghost of Tsushima, it's one other of probably the most well-regarded and common PlayStation Studios titles, with a sequel on the best way, so that is simply one other instance of Sony utilizing a few of its finest gaming titles to develop into the broader leisure house — making these tales extra accessible to people who find themselves much less more likely to play a 20-to-40-hour sport.
On a private observe, The Final of Us and Horizon Zero Daybreak are two of my favourite video games of all time, so this 10-minute blast of excellent information was most welcome in the midst of a really lengthy day at CES!
