PlayStation Productions Updates: What’s the Deal with Horizon TV Series?
Hey there, fellow gamers! It’s your friendly neighborhood game news reporter here, ready to dive into the latest buzz surrounding PlayStation Productions. So, buckle up and grab your controllers because we’ve got some juicy updates for you!
Second Seasons and Movie Madness
First off, let’s talk about the exciting news on the TV and movie front. Shows like Twisted Metal and The Last of Us are gearing up for their second seasons, while movies like Ghost of Tsushima and Uncharted 2 are in the works (though they’re still a bit far off). However, the highly anticipated live-action Horizon Zero Dawn series by Netflix seems to have hit a roadblock…
What Went Wrong with Horizon TV Series?
So, what’s the deal with the Horizon TV series getting postponed? Well, it turns out that the project has been shelved due to allegations of “retaliation” and a “toxic work environment” during its development. It seems like there were some ‘creative differences’ between the artists and studios involved, leading to a major setback for this adaptation of PlayStation’s hit IP.
The Fallout of Horizon’s Delay
This delay isn’t just a bummer for fans eagerly awaiting the Horizon series. It’s a significant blow to both Netflix and PlayStation Productions’ upcoming lineups. With Netflix wrapping up shows like Stranger Things and The Witcher, they were banking on new tentpole series to keep the momentum going. Similarly, Sony’s adaptation division was all set to start shooting Horizon and God of War for Amazon’s Prime Video, but now everything’s up in the air.
What’s Next for Horizon?
While there’s been denial from the showrunner regarding the allegations, it’s clear that this PR crisis has thrown a wrench into the gears. But fear not, fellow gamers! The Horizon IP is still a massive deal for Sony, and we can expect a resurgence of the project in the future. As we wait for a reset, a quirky Lego take on Horizon is set to launch later this year, offering a fresh spin on the beloved franchise.
In Conclusion
So, there you have it, gamers! The Horizon TV series may have hit a snag, but the gaming world is resilient. As we navigate through these challenges, let’s stay tuned for more updates and keep our controllers charged for the next big adventure. Remember, just like in our favorite games, setbacks are just part of the journey. Stay strong, stay positive, and keep leveling up!
