Netflix is ​​working on a PlayStation series: Horizon Zero Dawn

It is evident that there is no better way to connect with large masses of the public than by seducing them thanks to the franchises they already know, and video game franchises are one of the best since they have a potential audience waiting for news and, at the same time, you can seduce any other person entirely to this phenomenon. Look if not the example of The Witcherwith a series on Netflix that is a real success.

Sony throws the house out the window

This being the case, Sony has been going for a while that doesn’t seem like it: it is allowing users who don’t have PlayStation consoles at home to enjoy their exclusives on PC and almost at the same time, started a franchise distribution strategy for strictly audiovisual products. There you have the case Uncharted for cinema or The Last of Us that is in the shooting and post-production phase and that it is in charge of turning into reality through HBO.

Now it has been the CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment himself, Tony Vinciquerra, who has revealed through a note to investors that both Horizon Zero Dawn What Grand Touring They will be the next to star in fiction that, at least in the case of the game starring Aloy, will be in charge of transforming Netflix into reality.

Thus, Netflix bets on a franchise that has enormous potential of adaptation to the television medium thanks to the two games that we already have in stores. The first, remember, was released in February 2017 and left us speechless for how it presented that post-apocalyptic world in which a girl has to discover the secret behind the machines that have invaded the entire North American ecosystem. It is precisely that part of the story that Netflix will initially adapt for the series on which, we imagine, they will have already started working.

Presumably if it is a successful audience, the next step will be to make the jump to the Forbidden West of the second game, which arrived earlier this year for PS5 and PS4. More adventures to add to a future series that, as we told you before, will not be the last starring an exclusive PlayStation franchise.

Sony wants to conquer it all

However, in the case of the series Grand Touring it seems that still being is looking for a partner to carry it out and later distribute it, but there is no doubt that it was a fiction in which races will have a special relevance. Something that we could already imagine but that we are curious to see how they capture it on the small screen, especially when in video games there are no main characters or plots to follow.

God of War Ragnarok

More or less the same happens with God of Warthat Sony has sold the idea of ​​a series to Amazon, either twistedmetal, an old Japanese IP where battles between vehicles adapted for fighting take on special importance, in the purest style Mad Max and that for some years it stopped providing video games to Sony consoles. You never know, but you can get something out of a franchise like this.

If we look at the big screen, Sony is also involved in the project to adapt Ghots of Tsushima, that will be in charge of directing Chad Stahelski (John Wick) and that is also inspired by the resounding success of a video game that left us speechless last year when it landed in stores.

As you see, Sony is immersed in frenetic activity that we will see what results it gives when these series and movies begin to arrive. What do you think?
