Fans celebrate Cyberpunk 2077 and want a proper film adaptation

Cyberpunk 2077 has been making players pretty happy since Update 2.0 and the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion, and they’re even asking for a live-action adaptation on reddit. CD Projekt Red has even announced this now.

What are the cyberpunk players writing on reddit? Reddit user strib123 published a post expressing his joy about the current status of Cyberpunk 2077:

I just have to say that this game is really amazing. In my 25 years of life, I’ve had the pleasure of playing numerous games and I have to say that Cyberpunk 2077 now ranks among the best, at least in my opinion.

He goes on to praise the story, characters and gameplay. With Phantom Liberty the game has become even better and for him Cyberpunk 2077 has legendary status.

Within a few hours, the post garnered 190 comments and over 1,100 upvotes. The other Reddit users mostly joined strib123s and shared their highlights:

  • JeanJacquesDatsyuk: “[Cyberpunk 2077 ist] Not only one of the best games I’ve ever played, but also one of the best stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.”
  • attaboy000: “My life is completely taken over by this game. I rarely, if ever, bother to do much more than the main and side quests, but this game has me aimlessly wandering the streets doing every side job and cyberpsycho mission I can.
  • R6lad: “I put 50 hours into publishing it and [dann] waited. I love being back in NC! It’s amazing, I’m getting lost!”
  • So the players are satisfied with the final status of Cyberpunk 2077.

    What do the players want? In the comments, users not only write about their joy, but also what else they would like to see. But these are not gameplay adjustments. Above all, players complain that the game doesn’t give them the ending they would like.

    The most upvoted comment, however, praises the game’s immersion and storytelling and would like to see a live-action adaptation. This probably hit some users nerves:

    A whole series of positive and supportive comments followed – some even with casting requests. Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand is one of the top picks, partly because he already portrays Johnny in the game.

    Will there be a live-action adaptation? The answer is: yes. It was only on October 5th that CD Projekt Red announced that it was working on a live-action adaptation of the cyberpunk universe in collaboration with the production company Anonymous Content.

    Anonymous Content was founded in 1999. Since then, the company has produced films and television series worldwide. Her portfolio includes, among others, the Netflix hit series Dead Girls Don’t Lie and The Revenant, for which lead actor Leonardo di Caprio won his first Oscar award.

    According to CD Projekt Red, the cyberpunk project is still in the early stages of development. Authors are currently being sought for a completely new story in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. A timely release is not yet expected. Until then, you can shorten the waiting time with the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which is part of the official Cyberpunk canon and is on Netflix.

    Are you excited for the cyberpunk live-action adaptation? Or are you still busy with Phantom Liberty? Let’s hear it in the comments.
