Insomniac Games Eyes More Game-to-Screen Adaptations

Following the announcement of founder and long-time CEO Ted Price's retirement, Insomniac Games, creators of the beloved Ratchet & Clank series, expressed their keen interest in adapting more of their games into films. Co-Studio Head Ryan Schneider shared this sentiment during a Wednesday interview with Variety.

"I think back to the Ratchet & Clank film from several years ago. We got an early start on that, so of course, we’re interested in that kind of thing. We love Ratchet & Clank in particular," Schneider stated.

While the 2016 Ratchet & Clank film received mixed reviews, Insomniac, now under the Sony umbrella since 2019, feels confident about future game-to-screen adaptations, citing Sony's success with projects like the critically acclaimed The Last of Us.

Sony's Expanding Video Game Adaptations Portfolio

Insomniac's enthusiasm for game-to-screen adaptations aligns perfectly with Sony's proven track record. Sony's recent successes include the 2022 Uncharted film and the highly praised 2023 The Last of Us TV series.

Further bolstering their commitment, Sony announced additional projects at CES 2025. This includes The Last of Us Season 2, premiering on HBO in April 2025, alongside an Until Dawn live-action film also slated for April 2025. Looking further ahead, a Ghost of Tsushima Legends anime series is set for a 2027 release on Crunchyroll. 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

Alongside the interview with Insomniac's co-Studio Heads, the company announced the retirement of its founder and CEO, Ted Price, 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 of leading Insomniac, I felt it was simply time to step aside and let others pave the way for our team."

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 believe strongly that for us to continue our success, we need leaders at the top who are intimately familiar with how we do things, leaders who have helped build our culture and our processes, and who have earned people’s trust."
