Movie studio Paramount has announced that it’s making a Cyberpunk 2077 movie, becoming just the latest upcoming game adaptation. The studio is also behind the Call of Duty movie that’s set for release in 2028.
Deadline reported that Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for his work on the super-popular Transformers movie series, is attached to produce. CD Projekt Red is on board as well to produce, which might make fans happy to hear.
Not all Hollywood adaptations include their creators, as Larian has no involvement in the Baldur’s Gate 3 TV show, while Naughty Dog dropped out of The Last of Us Season 3 on HBO, prompting fears about creative decisions.
Paramount has been in the news a lot lately following the company’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery and combination of the two companies. Going forward, the parent company will be called Skydance.
Presumably the Call of Duty and Cyberpunk 2077 movies are among those set for release in theaters, following Paramount’s commitment to releasing at least 30 movies in theaters each year.
It is very early days for the Cyberpunk 2077 movie, and there is no word yet on who may direct or star in it, nor has Paramount given it a release date.
The game series, meanwhile, is expanding with a sequel, Cyberpunk 2, which is in development now.
Cyberpunk 2077 had a well-documented disastrous launch in December 2020, but the Polish developer steadily supported, updated, and improved the game over the years. Many are calling it one of the best comeback stories ever for a high-profile game. Things culminated in the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 release in 2023 and the launch of the stellar Phantom Liberty expansion. The game has sold more than 40 million copies.
