Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are teaming up to bring the acclaimed video game Helldivers 2 to the silver screen. The exciting news was revealed at CES 2025 by PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash, who stated, "We're thrilled to announce that we've commenced development on a film based on our hugely popular game, Helldivers 2." While specifics remain under wraps, fans can anticipate spectacular space combat sequences on the big screen.
Developed by Arrowhead Studios, Helldivers 2, a shooter reminiscent of Starship Troopers, has become a phenomenal success for PlayStation Studios, achieving sales of 12 million copies within its first 12 weeks. The recent Illuminate update, reintroducing enemies from the original game, further boosted its popularity.
In related news, a film adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn is also in the works, a joint venture between PlayStation Studios and Columbia Pictures – the same studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted movie.
Qizilbash offered a glimpse into the Horizon Zero Dawn project: "We're in the early stages of the Horizon Zero Dawn film, but we can already assure audiences: this world and its characters will receive their first-ever cinematic treatment."
