Cyberpunk 2077 had a rough start as a video game, but we’re told it’s a bit more respected now than it was on launch thanks to repeated patches and updates. It wasn’t a game CD Projekt Red could go back on anyway, having put all their eggs in that basket. It’s fared better on television with an anime based on the game, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, becoming a Netflix hit.
Why not more? CD Projekt Red announced today they’re developing another Cyberpunk 2077 TV series, this one live-action. They’re partnering with Anonymous Content, a global media company with True Detective and Mr. Robot on its resume. Executives running the show will include Anonymous Content Studios’ Head of Television Garret Kemble, Director of Development Ryan Schwartz, and Chief Creative Officer David Levine.
What the show will be about is currently unclear, and it may be too early for a plot to even exist. All we do know is that it’ll take place in the same world as the video game and anime do. But…
Lost in all this is the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t start with the game. The game is based on the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG by Mike Pondsmith. The TTRPG is where all the lore originates, so why not make that the foundation for the show, instead of the game that spun off from it? We guess because more people are familiar with the game.
More information should be released about the live-action Cyberpunk 2077 show in the coming months.
