Past Successes and Future Projects:
PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, has already achieved box office success with adaptations like Uncharted (2022) and Gran Turismo (2023). While earlier adaptations such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill received mixed critical reception, their commercial success paved the way for PlayStation Productions' current endeavors. The Twisted Metal series (Peacock, 2023) also added to their portfolio, with season two currently in post-production.
Further projects in development include film adaptations of Days Gone, a God of War TV series, and a sequel to the Uncharted film.
