From Digital Pixels to Real Faces
Prepare to witness the likes of Viktor Vektor, Jackie Welles, and Royce in flesh and blood, as CD Projekt Red teams up with Anonymous Content, the powerhouse behind acclaimed series such as True Detective, Mr. Robot, and Shantaram, to bring this ambitious project to fruition. The collaboration doesn’t stop there; CD Projekt Red has enlisted the expertise of industry veteran David Levine, known for his work on series like Westworld and his early involvement in the iconic Game of Thrones.
Early Stages of Development
While the prospect of a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 adaptation is undeniably exciting, it’s important to manage expectations. The project is currently in its early development stages, and CD Projekt Red is on the hunt for a talented screenwriter to craft an entirely new story set within the captivating world of Cyberpunk 2077. As a result, it might be some time before concrete details and announcements emerge from this cybernetic cocoon. The production team for this thrilling venture includes Garrett Kemble, David Levine, Ryan Schwartz, and Bard Dorros, working alongside Charlie Scully under the banner of Anonymous Content.
Building on Success
CD Projekt Red’s track record in expanding its video game universes into the realm of live-action is nothing short of impressive. The studio’s collaboration with Studio Tiger led to the creation of Netflix’s anime series, “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,” which garnered acclaim and enthusiasm from audiences. Given this precedent, there’s every reason to be hopeful and excited about the potential of this new live-action project.
A Resilient Journey
Cyberpunk 2077’s journey has been nothing short of tumultuous. It initially faced a rocky launch, plagued by an array of glitches and bugs that dampened the spirits of many eager gamers. However, the title proved its mettle by becoming one of CD Projekt Red’s best-selling games. The studio swiftly embarked on a mission to rectify the issues, releasing patches and hotfixes to mend the digital landscape of Night City. To date, the game has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, and its recent expansion, released just over a week ago, has already achieved sales of 3 million copies. Not resting on its laurels, CD Projekt Red is also hard at work on a new Cyberpunk game, known by the codename Orion.
The fusion of the digital and real worlds promises an electrifying experience for fans of Cyberpunk 2077. As the development unfolds, and the narrative takes shape, it’s a thrilling time to be part of the ever-expanding Cyberpunk universe.
