Sony's Hit Game Helldivers 2 Gets the Hollywood Treatment at CES 2025

Exciting news for gamers and moviegoers alike! At CES 2025, Sony unveiled plans for a film adaptation of its hugely popular game, Helldivers 2. The project is a collaboration between PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures.

Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, made the announcement, stating, "We're thrilled to announce that we've commenced development on a movie based on our incredibly successful Helldivers 2." While specifics remain under wraps, fans can anticipate spectacular space battles brought to life on the silver screen.

Developed by Arrowhead Studios, Helldivers 2 is a captivating shooter game reminiscent of the classic Star Troopers franchise. The game achieved phenomenal success, becoming PlayStation Studios' fastest-selling title ever, boasting 12 million copies sold within its first 12 weeks. Its popularity surged further with the Illuminate update, reintroducing a beloved enemy faction from the original Helldivers game.

This cinematic venture follows the previously announced Horizon Zero Dawn movie adaptation, a joint effort between PlayStation Studios and Columbia Pictures – the same studio behind the successful 2022 Uncharted film.

Qizilbash offered a glimpse into the Horizon Zero Dawn project: "We're in the early stages of the Horizon Zero Dawn movie, but we can assure audiences that this world and its characters will receive their first-ever cinematic presentation."
