Insomniac Games Eyes More Game-to-Screen Adaptations

Insomniac Games, the creators of the beloved Ratchet and Clank franchise, have expressed strong interest in adapting more of their games into films. This was revealed by co-Studio Head Ryan Schneider in a recent interview with Variety, following the announcement of founder and long-time CEO Ted Price's retirement.

"Thinking back to the Ratchet and Clank movie from a few years ago, we got an early start on that process," Schneider stated. "So, naturally, we're very interested in exploring more projects like this. We have a particular fondness for Ratchet and Clank."

While the 2016 Ratchet and Clank film received mixed reviews, Insomniac Games, now under the Sony umbrella since 2019, feels confident about future game-to-screen adaptations. This confidence stems from Sony's proven success in this area, particularly with the critically acclaimed The Last of Us adaptation.

Sony's Growing Video Game Adaptation Portfolio

Insomniac's interest in game-to-screen projects aligns perfectly with Sony's demonstrated expertise in adapting their game properties for film and television. Recent successes include the 2022 Uncharted film and the highly praised 2023 The Last of Us series.

Further bolstering their commitment, Sony announced additional projects at CES 2025. These include The Last of Us Season 2 premiering on HBO in April 2025, an Until Dawn live-action film also in April 2025, and a Ghost of Tsushima Legends anime series slated for Crunchyroll in 2027. A Helldivers feature film and a Horizon Zero Dawn live-action adaptation are also in development, though release dates remain unannounced.

Insomniac Founder and CEO Ted Price Retires After 30 Years

Concurrent with the co-Studio Heads' interview, Insomniac founder and CEO Ted Price announced his retirement after three decades at the helm. Price oversaw the creation of iconic franchises such as Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Price explained, "I actually made this decision last year. After over 30 years leading Insomniac, it felt like the right time to step aside and allow others to guide the team forward."

Three veteran Insomniac employees—Ryan Schneider, Chad Dezern, and Jen Huang—will now lead the company as co-Studio Heads. Price expressed his confidence in this transition, stating, "I strongly believe that to maintain our success, we need leaders at the top who deeply understand our methods, have contributed to our culture and processes, and have earned the trust of our team."
