Two more of Sony’s video games are being adapted into films: Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2.
Sony made the announcements during its CES presentation this morning. “I’m excited to announce we are working with Sony Pictures on developing a film adaptation of our amazingly popular PlayStation game, Helldivers 2,” PlayStation’s Asad Qizilbash revealed to audience applause.
So, yes, the game that was (at least in part) inspired by a film, which in turn was inspired by a book, is becoming another film.
Later in the same presentation, Qizilbash revealed Horizon Zero Dawn is also getting the film treatment. This news follows a report last year that stated the once-proposed TV series based on the Horizon franchise had come to halt after accusations of “bullying, manipulative and retaliatory behaviour” by its planned showrunner Steve Blackman.
