It appears that Sony might be planning to create a movie based on their next PlayStation game, and according to a recent rumor by scooper Daniel Richtman, this could potentially be “The Last Guardian.” The information was posted on Richtman’s Patreon, but no additional details such as potential directors or writers have been disclosed. Initially released for the PlayStation 4 in 2016, a VR experience was later announced by Sony for the game created by Japan Studio and GenDesign, with Sony Interactive Entertainment serving as the publisher.
In a strange, mystical world, the narrative of ‘The Last Guardian’ unfolds, centered around a young boy who stumbles upon an enigmatic creature. A profound connection develops between them, and they become inseparable. As the duo forge an unusual alliance, they band together to navigate towering, treacherous ruins brimming with unforeseen perils. This video game is renowned for its poignant, emotional narrative that explores themes of friendship and trust. It boasts a Metascore of 82 and a user score of 7.8 on Metacritic. Despite some mechanical flaws during development, it has been highly praised for its depth and emotional resonance.
It’s being speculated that “The Last Guardian” will be transformed into a big-screen adaptation, joining other PlayStation games like “Horizon Zero Dawn” which are also being considered for feature films. Initially, “Horizon Zero Dawn” was in the works as a Netflix television series, but it now seems that Sony is developing it into a movie instead. Other games being adapted include “Ghost of Tsushima”, “Days Gone”, “Gravity Rush”, “Helldivers”, “Jak and Daxter”, and “Resident Evil”. The latter, specifically, is currently in pre-production with writer and director Zach Cregger, with production set to begin soon.
Since its release, the video game “The Last Guardian” has been honored with several awards, such as the BAFTA Games Award for Audio Achievement in 2017. Other recognitions it received or was nominated for include the Best Original Property and Artistic Achievement at the 2017 BAFTA Games, Best Video Game at the 2017 Empire Awards UK, and Character Design and Art Direction, Fantasy at the 2017 NAVGTR Awards. In 2018, its soundtrack was pressed onto vinyl, with performances by the London Symphony Orchestra, the Trinity Boys Choir, and London Voices on a two-disc vinyl LP.
Based on scant information available, it seems that the movie adaptation of “The Last Guardian” is likely still under development in its early phases. It’s important to note that talks about an adaptation for this game have been circulating since 2020, but we haven’t heard anything definitive from Sony Entertainment or PlayStation yet. Until we get an official confirmation, it would be wise to view this as a rumor. Hopefully, we’ll find out more in the next few weeks or months.
At present, “The Last Guardian” is accessible for members of the PlayStation Plus service. Non-members can buy the game at a discounted price of only $19.99 from the PlayStation Store until further notice.
