During CES 2025 yesterday, Sony announced Horizon Zero Dawn movie in collaboration with Columbia Pictures, The Last of Us Season 2‘s April release, Ghost of Tsushima Legends anime, and Helldivers 2 movie. While the latter announcements were well received, a number of players have expressed concerns about Horizon Zero Dawn’s adaptation.
What players are saying about Horizon Zero Dawn movie
Across gaming forums and social media, every post about the Horizon Zero Dawn movie is accompanied by comments that suggest Sony’s “pushing” the franchise.
“I don’t get the push for this game,” wrote one player. “Where is the demand to justify this?” quizzed another. “Why are they so determined to make Horizon something?” wrote a third. Others echoed similar sentiments.
Horizon series is one of Sony’s highest-selling new IP over the last decade, with Horizon Zero Dawn alone having sold over 20 million copies. While it’s true that there’s been a recent push from Sony when it comes to the Horizon series — including a remaster and a LEGO spinoff — we’ve seen two commercially successful endeavors in HBO’s The Last of Us and Uncharted movie.
It’s no surprise, then, that Sony wants to give its Horizon franchise the Hollywood treatment.
