The Final of Us season 2 arrives in April, and a Horizon Zero Daybreak movie is within the works

Sony’s CES 2025 press convention was big on the leisure entrance should you’re a PlayStation fan. In a collection of rapid-fire bulletins, the corporate introduced it was making an anime primarily based on Ghost of Tsushima Legends, the cooperative multiplayer mode from the acclaimed sport. It then adopted that up with information that Columbia Photos was within the early levels of growing a film primarily based on the 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 primarily based on 2020’s The Final of Us Half 2, nevertheless it will not take us by all the occasions of the second sport. It’s going to take not less than two seasons to retell the story of that terrific but complex misery simulator. This season, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Catherine O’Hara and Jeffery Wright be a 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 adapted as a series for Netflix, however the undertaking finally fell aside. I am positively curious to see how they will streamline the sport’s sprawling storyline into a decent narrative for a two-hour film (or perhaps a three-hour one), however hopefully a powerful artistic group is behind this one.

As for Ghost of Tsushima, it is one other of essentially the most well-regarded and fashionable PlayStation Studios titles, with a sequel on the way in which, so that is simply one other instance of Sony utilizing a few of its finest gaming titles to broaden 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 notice, 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!
