That Horizon Zero Daybreak Netflix collection may need been canned, however don’t be concerned, Sony has one other trick up its sleeve: a movie adaptation.
It isn’t precisely arduous to note that movie and TV variations of video games are the massive factor in the meanwhile. Sonic, Mario, Zelda, Yakuza, The Final of Us, 5 Nights at Freddy’s – the record goes on! So it was no shock that Sony opted to convey Horizon Zero Daybreak to the small display screen with Netflix. Besides, in July final 12 months that bought canned, a transfer that did really feel somewhat shocking however Sony clearly went to work on different plans. Throughout its CES 2025 keynote, the corporate introduced {that a} movie adaptation is within the works at Columbia Footage. You may know Columbia from a bunch of different movies, although on the video games adaptation entrance it notably produced the Uncharted film.
PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash introduced the information on-stage at CES (thanks, IGN), saying, “Columbia Footage and PlayStation Productions are on the early levels of growing a movie adaptation of the award-winning Horizon Zero Daybreak. Simply think about, Aloy’s beloved origin story set in a vibrant, far future world crammed with the enormous machines, dropped at you for the primary time on the massive display screen.” There’s clearly not all that a lot to go off of there proper now, it is actually only a affirmation that it exists, not even a launch window, so you may undoubtedly anticipate it to be a very good few years but.
It does make me surprise if Sony is being specific about what will get the massive display screen remedy and what heads to the small display screen, as God of Warfare remains to be supposedly getting a TV adaptation, even when as of October final 12 months it is apparently been transferring in direction of “a unique artistic path.” That present’s been work for a few years now, so we’ll be ready some time for that too.
