Sony is making a Helldivers 2 movie even though it's basically just Starship Troopers (and the company owns that, too)

Helldivers 2.

Sony's mission to create an adaptation of every popular PlayStation console exclusive is progressing apace, with the firm announcing yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that it plans to make films based on both Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn. The company has confirmed that the movies are in development, though nothing is currently known about the expected release date or involved talent of the productions.

"Looking ahead as to what might come next, I'm excited to announce we are working with Sony Pictures on developing a film adaptation of our amazingly popular PlayStation game Helldivers 2," said head of PlayStation Productions Asad Qizilbash on-stage during Sony's CES 2025 conference. The Horizon Zero Dawn project was then revealed shortly afterwards, with the Sony calling the franchise "one of our most exciting IPs filled with so much potential to expand into new categories and genres." Notably, one such case of Horizon, well, expanding its horizons came in November of last year, when Guerilla Games and Studio Gobo released a family-friendly, action-adventure game spinoff of the open-world series called LEGO Horizon Adventures.
