Developed by indie game studio ZA/UM, Disco Elysium centers on a detective who races to solve a crime that may tip the world into war. Dj2 is meeting with several writers to help develop the property. The company is also developing a live-action series based on the video game Sleeping Dogs, with Donnie Yen (Ip Man) in the lead and Echo with F. Gary Gray (The Fate of the Furious) and Derek Kolstad (John Wick, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) attached.

Directed by Jeff Fowler, Sonic the Hedgehog starred Ben Schwartz as the voice of the titular character and Jim Carrey as villain Dr. Robotnik, with James Marsden, Neal McDonald, Tika Sumpter, Adam Pally and Natasha Rothwell. The film holds the record as the highest grossing video game adaptation, with a sequel in development.
