Cyberpunk 2077, the dystopian sci-fi video game from CD Projekt Red, has been a huge success since its launch in 2020, selling over 25 million copies and receiving critical acclaim. The game’s immersive world, rich story, and diverse characters have captivated millions of fans, who are eager to see more of the cyberpunk universe. However, those who are hoping to watch a live-action adaptation of the game will have to wait a bit longer, as CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the project is still in early development and will not be released until 2025 at the earliest.
The live-action project, which was announced in October 2023, is a collaboration between CD Projekt Red and Anonymous Content, the production company behind acclaimed shows and movies such as True Detective, Mr. Robot, The Revenant, and Spotlight. The project is described as a “live-action offering inspired by the Cyberpunk 2077 video game”, but no details have been revealed about the format, the cast, the plot, or the platform. The only thing that is certain is that the project will tell a new story set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, and that it will involve some of the creative minds behind some of the most popular and prestigious TV shows and films of the past decade.
During the company’s latest earnings call, CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński said that the live-action project is “at an early development stage” and that they are “looking for a screenwriter who will create a great story for this project”. He also said that the project is “not something that we plan to release in 2024”, implying that it will take at least until 2025 or later for the project to be completed and released to the public. Kiciński added that the project is “very important” for the company and that they are “very excited” about it, but he also asked for patience from the fans, saying that “it will take some time before we can share more details”.
The live-action project is not the only spin-off that Cyberpunk 2077 has spawned. In 2022, Netflix released Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, an animated series that follows a group of street kids who become edgerunners, mercenary outlaws who survive in the harsh and violent Night City. The series was well-received by fans and critics, and was praised for its stunning animation, compelling characters, and thrilling action. The series also featured original music by the game’s composer, Marcin Przybyłowicz, and the involvement of the game’s director, Adam Badowski, as a creative consultant.
Cyberpunk 2077 itself is still receiving updates and expansions from CD Projekt Red, who are committed to improving and enhancing the game’s experience for the players. The latest expansion, Phantom Liberty, was released in September 2023, and added a new perk system, improved AI, new quests, new weapons, new vehicles, and new locations to the game. The expansion also resolved some of the game’s lingering mysteries, such as the fate of the mysterious Mr. Blue Eyes, the identity of the Relic’s maker, and the connection between Elon Musk and the game’s world. The expansion sold three million copies in its first week, proving that the game’s popularity is still strong.
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most ambitious and influential video games of the 21st century, and it has created a loyal and passionate fan base that is hungry for more content. The live-action project is a promising and exciting venture that could expand the game’s universe and appeal to a wider audience. However, fans will have to be patient and wait for a few more years before they can see their favorite cyberpunk world come to life on the screen. Until then, they can enjoy the game and its expansions, as well as the animated series and other media related to the game. Cyberpunk 2077 is not going anywhere anytime soon, and neither is its live-action project.
