Ratchet and Clank 2nd Movie Considered by Insomniac Games

Insomniac Games Eyes More Game-to-Screen Adaptations Following CEO's Retirement

Insomniac Games, renowned for the Ratchet & Clank franchise, has signaled its interest in further game-to-screen adaptations. This follows the recent retirement of founder and CEO Ted Price and was revealed in an interview with Variety.

Co-Studio Head Ryan Schneider expressed enthusiasm for future film projects, referencing the 2016 Ratchet & Clank movie. While that film received mixed reviews, Insomniac is optimistic, citing Sony's successful track record with game adaptations like The Last of Us. The acquisition by Sony in 2019 has undoubtedly bolstered their confidence in this area.

Sony's Successful Adaptions and Future Projects

Insomniac's ambition aligns perfectly with Sony's proven success in translating video games to film and television. Recent successes include the 2022 Uncharted film and the critically acclaimed The Last of Us series (2023).

Sony's commitment to this strategy was further emphasized at CES 2025, with announcements including:

• The Last of Us Season 2 (HBO, April 2025)
• An Until Dawn live-action film (April 2025)
• Ghost of Tsushima Legends anime series (Crunchyroll, 2027)
• Helldivers and Horizon Zero Dawn film adaptations (release dates unannounced)

Leadership Transition at Insomniac Games

Ted Price's retirement after 30 years marks a significant change for Insomniac. The company, responsible for iconic franchises like Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Marvel's Spider-Man, will now be led by three co-Studio Heads: Ryan Schneider, Chad Dezern, and Jen Huang. Price expressed confidence in this new leadership team, highlighting their deep understanding of Insomniac's culture and processes.
