‘The Last of Us’ units the stage for Sony’s 10 adaptations of PlayStation games

After a mediocre Uncharted movie, The Last of Us sets the stage for Sony’s PlayStation Productions studio’s 10 deliberate adaptations of videogames.

In 2020, Sony introduced that its new PlayStation Productions studio was creating an preliminary slate of three motion pictures and seven TV exhibits based on PlayStation video games, but it’s only now that we’re starting to get a grasp on Sony’s massive challenge that would lead to even more titles.

Since then, a couple of of the sequence have been reimagined as films. They will all be produced by PlayStation Productions (in co-production with partners) for cinema or streaming companies corresponding to Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Peacock, and Netflix.

The Last of Us is the second challenge after Uncharted, and the critically acclaimed HBO collection has already been renewed for a second season. The subsequent step is a Gran Turismo movie that can premiere in mid-August 2023.

Microsoft has also dipped its toes within the water with released or planned adaptations of Xbox video games such as Gears of War, Fallout, and Halo. Microsoft’s vision for variations of Xbox video games isn’t as clear-cut as Sony’s, but perhaps the rival’s initial success will encourage Microsoft to attempt to additional tap into its vital base of gamers.

Sony has introduced 9 of the 10 projects which are part of the first phase. Here is what else to anticipate this yr and past.
