PlayStation Productions has debuted a new intro animation sequence. The short segment is being shown before the newly released Uncharted movie. Sony has also shared the new intro on social media. In it, gaming fans will, no doubt, recognize such iconic faces as Kratos (God of War) and Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn), among others. Also included in the montage are characters from The Last of Us, Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet, and Uncharted.

Sony Pictures created PlayStation Productions in 2019 to adapt games for television and cinema. The new unit seeks to generate material based on storylines taken from Sony’s catalog of more than 100 original IP, citing Marvel’s success as an example. There’s a wide range of genres to pick from, including action and adventure, science fiction, mystery, and horror.
Uncharted is one of the new department’s first significant cinematic projects. When asked whether a movie failure may hurt the series, Asad Qizilbash (Head of Product, PlayStation Studios, and Head of PlayStation Productions) replied it’s a risk, but he’s confident in the film. In an earlier interview with the New York Times, he also indicated that PlayStation Productions had three purposes.
“Increase the amount of the gaming audience.” Deliver the item to Sony Pictures. “Exhibit cooperation.”
Uncharted has already started its worldwide run, and it will hit cinemas in the United States on February 18. It has gotten mixed reviews thus far. The next film to hit cinemas has yet to be confirmed, although Chad Stahelski, who directed John Wick, was already scheduled to make a Ghost of Tsushima film in 2021.
With the successful PC debuts of God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, Sony has continued to grow its fan base. They might easily come next on the schedule, given those releases and the upcoming new titles for each series. However, cinematic adaptations for each might cost more than Uncharted’s $120 million budget; Uncharted’s box office success could influence Sony’s choice to go on with even more ambitious projects that may need more special effects.
