Developer CD Projekt Red just announced it is in the early stages of developing a live-action<\/ins><\/a> TV show or movie based on the once-hated and now-beloved Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> game. Details are scant, as we don\u2019t even know if it\u2019ll be a film or ongoing series, but the game developer has teamed up with production company Anonymous Content to bring Night City to glorious live-action life.<\/p>\n

You probably don\u2019t know Anonymous Content by name,<\/ins><\/a> but the company\u2019s behind a slew of high-profile and critically-acclaimed TV shows, like True Detective<\/em> and Mr. Robot<\/em>. It\u2019s also helped produce recent films like The Revenant<\/em> and Spotlight,<\/em> but also classics like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/em> and Being John Malkovich<\/em>. This is a serious production company, so we could be in for something special.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While CD Projekt Red hasn\u2019t announced whether this will be a show or movie, there are some hints indicating it\u2019ll be a TV series. The developer went out of its way to note that it\u2019s working closely with certain members of the Anonymous Content team, all of which are heavily involved in the TV side of things. For instance, the dev called out the company\u2019s Head of Television Garret Kemble and noted Chief Creative Officer David Levine\u2019s decade-long tenure at HBO. Levine was heavily involved with getting Game of Thrones<\/em> and Westworld<\/em> on the network, in addition to other hit shows.<\/p>\n

This situation here looks slightly different from Netflix\u2019s <\/ins>The Witche<\/ins><\/em>r show,<\/ins><\/a> as that\u2019s adapted from the source books and not the video game series. Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> is a wholly original IP, giving CD Projekt Red a good amount of creative control over how the story plays out. To that end, the developer hasn\u2019t indicated this would be a one-to-one adaptation of the game, rather stating its \u201cset in the world\u201d of Cyberpunk 2077.<\/em><\/p>\n

This looks to be in the extreme early stages of development, so it could be years before we see the lawless Badlands or the slums of Dogtown in live action. This series or movie will join the Netflix cartoon <\/ins>Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.<\/ins><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

When you think about it, it\u2019s pretty nuts that the Cyberpunk IP is flourishing in this way. The game launched as a buggy mess,<\/ins><\/a> forcing Sony to actually pull it<\/ins><\/a> from its online store and both CD Projekt Red<\/ins><\/a> and Microsoft to issue refunds to unhappy customers.<\/ins><\/a> Since that disastrous launch, the developer has slowly and steadily improved just about every aspect of the game, transforming whole gameplay mechanics in the process. The end result? Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> is now considered to be a truly special video game, with 25 million sales to prove it.<\/ins><\/a> Even the recently-released <\/ins>Phantom Liberty<\/ins><\/em> DLC<\/ins><\/a> has already racked up 3 million downloads.<\/ins><\/a> There\u2019s also a pseudo-sequel on the way.<\/ins><\/a><\/p>\n
