Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action film set in the universe of *Cyberpunk 2077*, bringing CD Projekt Red’s popular video game franchise to the big screen.

The project will be developed alongside producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, according to [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/paramount-develop-cyberpunk-2077-film-lifting-cd-projekt-reds-shares-2026-10-09/?ref=thenaijanerds.com). No cast, director, plot details or release date have been announced.

CD Projekt Red joint CEO Michal Nowakowski welcomed the partnership in a post on X, saying Paramount shares the company’s creative ambitions for the franchise. The studio told Reuters it had no further details to add.

**Big-screen plans**

Released in 2020, *Cyberpunk 2077* takes place in Night City, a futuristic metropolis shaped by powerful corporations, advanced technology and street gangs. Players take on the role of V, a mercenary caught in a struggle involving a mysterious cybernetic implant.

The game had sold 40 million copies by July 2026\. Its expansion, *Phantom Liberty*, had sold 15m copies.

The film is the latest attempt to bring the franchise to a new audience beyond gaming. Netflix previously released the animated series *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners*, which helped attract more attention to the game's world.
