PlayStation is so interested in bringing its franchises to movies or TV that it already has a ton of adaptations in development. While the adaptation of its Gran Turismo racing IP will debut very soon, the company may well be planning another car racing project.
We’re talking about WipEout, a futuristic-themed racing franchise brought to life by Psygnosis, which was previously cross-platform, but became exclusive to PlayStation after Sony bought Psygnosis, which then operated as SCE Studio Liverpool until 2012. .

Director of Gran Turismo is interested in WipEout
Well, apparently PlayStation has plans for this franchise, perhaps not in terms of video games, but in terms of film productions.
The one who began to talk about it was the filmmaker Neill Blomkamp, responsible for District 9 and more recently Gran Turismo (2023).
The developer remains involved in his latest collaboration with Sony, but drew attention that he may well be preparing another after he posted the following message on Twitter: “FEISAR, AG SYSTEMS, PIR-HANA.”

In case you don’t know, these are names of fictitious teams in the world of WipEout, which made us think that they could well be clues to a possible adaptation of the franchise.
But it didn’t stop there, since Blomkamp (who has confessed to being a fan of this series) hours later asked where he could find the best information about WipEout.
where would i discover the best WIPEOUT lore?

Will WipEout make it to the movies?
Most interestingly, he responded to his call by Damon Fairclough, a former creative writer for Psygnosis who worked in the universe from WipEout to Fusion, so he couldn’t find a better person and even offered him a ton of material.
Both creatives agreed to keep in touch privately, which Blomkamp was grateful for.
In case you missed it: the director of Gran Turismo would love to make a Metroid movie.
Awesome thanks

Unfortunately, we don’t know if the conversation between the two creatives continued, since both agreed to keep in touch, but privately. That said, we don’t know why Blomkamp wanted information about the WipEout universe, but we doubt it was to find out more about the series just because, but fans are speculating about the possibility that he wants to gather information to try to make an adaptation to the WipEout. movies or TV, something that caused a lot of enthusiasm, especially if it is an animation.
We will keep you informed.
