CD Projekt Red’s CEO Michał Nowakowski says the upcoming live-action *Cyberpunk 2077* movie will not be a beat-for-beat, one-to-one adaptation of the game’s story. According to the reports, he frames the project as a chance to move beyond simply translating the game’s plot to film.
The outlets note that this clarification follows earlier public reporting about a live-action adaptation involving CD Projekt Red and Paramount Pictures. While some fans expected the movie to follow the game’s narrative closely, sources emphasize that the studio intends to tell a new story instead. One outlet contrasts the approach with the game’s established characters and plot, and also points to other *Cyberpunk* screen adaptations as examples of how tie-ins can diverge in content.
Overall, the common thread across coverage is that the movie keeps the *Cyberpunk 2077* brand and setting, but is planned to reinterpret the story rather than replicate it directly from the game.
