PlayStation Productions is not at its first attempt with these two new projects that have been in the works for several months. If we take stock, we can already see quite a track record to his credit, like the releases of Gran Turismo (2023),Uncharted (2022) which would already have its sequel in the pipeline andUntil Dawn (2025), or with the next Gravity Rushbut also Days Gone (no news) and Ghost of Tsushima (directed by Chad Stahelski), not counting series adaptations like the upcoming season 3 of The Last of Us (2023) scheduled for 2027, the series God of War on Amazon with filming scheduled for 2026, or the anime Ghost of Tsushima: Legends scheduled for 2027 on Crunchyroll.
A near horizon?
The Columbia Pictures teams will therefore have plenty to do next year since the shooting of the film Horizon should start next year, for release scheduled for 2027. In any case, this is what Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation Productions are aiming for, but a director still needs to deign to be named, if we are to believe the comments relayed by our colleagues at TheGamePost.
Indeed, among the statements of the boss of PlayStation Productions, Asad Qizilbash, in the context of the conflict with Tencent, we learn that searches are still underway to find someone to keep this calendarwhile thewe learn at the same time that the writing of the scenario is finished. The next one is therefore well and truly moving forward and is still in the pipeline.
“We already have a working script and we are actively looking for a director, with the aim of shooting the film in 2026 and releasing it in 2027. This live-action feature film is in line with recent collaborations between Columbia Pictures and PlayStation Productions, notably on Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023).”

Note that for the moment, no face has been revealed regarding this adaptation, nor any element of the scenarioalthough we could imagine that the story will adapt all or part of the first game to tell the universe from another angle, while waiting for the next game in the saga which is no longer in doubt and which we hope without the use of AI.
