Some Fans Displeased by Horizon Zero Dawn Movie Announcement

Yesterday at CES 2025, Sony unveiled some major projects, including a Horizon Zero Dawn movie in partnership with Columbia Pictures, the second season of The Last of Us set for release in April, a Ghost of Tsushima Legends anime, and a film adaptation of Helldivers 2. While there was excitement for most of these announcements, the news about Horizon Zero Dawn’s movie stirred up mixed reactions among the gaming community.

What are players saying about the Horizon Zero Dawn movie?

As the buzz spreads across gaming forums and social media, every piece of news about the Horizon Zero Dawn film is met with a chorus of comments pointing out that Sony appears to be "pushing" the franchise rather strongly.

Some players are expressing skepticism. “I don’t get the push for this game,” one person commented. Another pondered, “Where is the demand to justify this?” and someone else questioned, “Why are they so determined to make Horizon something big?” Many others shared these concerns.

The Horizon series stands out as one of Sony’s top-selling new franchises of the last ten years, with Horizon Zero Dawn alone surpassing 20 million copies sold. Sure, Sony has been actively expanding the Horizon universe recently, from a remaster to a LEGO crossover. However, given the success stories of HBO’s The Last of Us series and the Uncharted film, it makes sense that Sony would want to give Horizon a shot at cinematic glory.
