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 if you happen to’re a PlayStation fan. In a sequence 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 creating 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, but it surely will not take us by way of all the occasions of the second sport. It’s going to take at the least 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 tasks 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 mission ultimately fell aside. I am positively curious to see how they will streamline the sport’s sprawling storyline into a good narrative for a two-hour film (or perhaps a three-hour one), however hopefully a powerful artistic crew is behind this one.

As for Ghost of Tsushima, it is one other of probably the most well-regarded and well-liked PlayStation Studios titles, with a sequel on the best way, so that is simply one other instance of Sony utilizing a few of its greatest gaming titles to increase into the broader leisure area — 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 be aware, 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 course of a really lengthy day at CES!
