PlayStation Productions

Not to be confused with PlayStation Originals and PlayStation Studios.

Background

PlayStation Productions, LLC is an American production studio owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was founded in 2019 as a successor to PlayStation Originals, with a focus on adapting the company's video game franchises into films and television shows. An emphasis was placed on coordination between the film and television departments at Sony Pictures with the video game development studios at PlayStation Studios.

Logo: On a black background, a blue triangular symbol (similar to that of a play button) fades in and makes several trails (resembling the PlayStation shapes) coming out in the same color, revealing part of Kara from Detroit: Become Human. Then we cut to the Leviathan Axe from God of War, as many circle trail-like things surround it as the camera slowly backs away. Then we cut to Nathan Drake from Uncharted, followed by a closeup of Jin Sakai's face from Ghost of Tsushima and Joel Miller and Ellie with their backs away from each other; from The Last of Us. Then it cuts to Kratos and Atreus from God of War, followed by Astro Bot from Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, the titular characters of Ratchet & Clank, Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet, and a closeup of Kratos, until we cut to a shot of many PlayStation characters together as the camera zooms in. It then dies down into a blue flash as the corporate PlayStation logo forms from various light streaks, which then dies down as "PlayStation" in its corporate font fades in below, with "PRODUCTIONS" in a more basic font.

Variants:

Trailers have this logo shortened.
Multiple variants exist where only one character appears. An example is Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn being revealed by the triangular object.

FX/SFX: Amazing CGI.

Music/Sounds: A majestic orchestral fanfare which rises higher; coupled with a somber piano theme. Trailers have the opening theme instead.

Availability: Brand new and current. First seen on the trailers for Uncharted (2022), and made its debut on the film itself. Also seen in a post on the official PlayStation Twitter account on February 15, 2022. It is expected to appear on future films and TV series from the company, such as Gran Turismo.
