A live-action project in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 might happen
05.10.2023 - 22:27 / rockpapershotgun.com
I've decided to base part of my personality around liking Cyberpunk 2077. I thought I was long-since past the point when it was possible to construct my identity around liking a piece of media, but here I am, aged 38, researching tattoos.
So the news that CD Projekt Red have partnered with a production company to create a live action adaptation project set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077? I'm onboard.
The production company in question is Anonymous Content, the studio behind True Detective and Mr. Robot as well as films such as The Revenant and Spotlight. David Levine is Chief Creative Officer at the company, having previously worked at HBO and overseen projects including Game Of Thrones and True Blood.
Right now, Anonymous Content are looking for a screenwriter who can tell a "brand-new story" set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. That suggests that it won't be a simple re-telling of the plot of Cyberpunk 2077, its expansion Phantom Liberty, or the existing anime adaptation Edgerunners. The reference to it as a "project" also suggests it's not even decided whether the results will be a film or a television series.
Cyberpunk 2077 has existed as a world and setting via the tabletop game long before CD Projekt got involved, and there's plenty of potential in it for extra stories. That said, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the few games with themes cohesive enough, and writing strong enough, that I think you could actually turn it into a TV show or movie successfully. Its characters have arcs, which gives it a huge leg-up on most other videogames.
Given that its early days - no screenwriter, no director, no fixed concept - there's obviously no release date yet. It may be the case that the live action project never comes to fruition. But for a change, I hope it does.

Is This Missing Starfield Feature Part Of The Story, Or An Excuse For DLC?
It's hard to say whether one of 's greatest missed opportunities is an oversight or an intentional exclusion. The gamedoes its best to ease players into its lore. They can learn all the basics of the wider galaxy, right up to the nature of the ancient mysteries only solved at the ending of , from the first time they set foot in New Atlantis. However, since most are likely to revisit this major city multiple times across the course of the campaign, players can decide to pace exposition more slowly if they so choose.

If you try to sneakily undercut one of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's most emotional scenes, CD Projekt counters with hidden dialogue followed by instant death
I don't think I'm spoiling too much off the jump by saying that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's endings are emotionally charged and more than a little bit devastating. It is also a natural gamer behavior to goof around in such moments, but as reported by VG247, CD Projekt Red seems to have anticipated players attempting to bork one such scene, inserting hidden dialogue to reflect their apparent death drive. Spoilers for Phantom Liberty ahead.

Here's a remarkably open-ended sci-fi RPG inspired by the classics
The indie RPG scene is basically solely responsible for keeping the torch of the old-school isometric RPG burning. The spirit of that those old games inherited from tabletop roleplaying—do whatever, be someone weird, have your choices truly matter, nobody's immortal—aren't very feasible to implement in the fully voiced, richly animated world of modern AAA RPGs. (Not that Baldur's Gate 3 didn't do almost all of it it anyway—at massive time and expense, mind you.)
