A live-action project set in the world of the popular sci-fi video game Cyberpunk 2077 is in the works, video game developer CD Projekt Red announced Thursday.

There are few details revealed about the project — namely whether it’s a film or TV series — but it will be made with Anonymous Content, the media company behind shows like “True Detective” and “Mr. Robot” and films like “The Revenant” and “Spotlight.”

CD Projekt Red, the developer of Cyberpunk 2077 and the popular Witcher video game series, is working with Anonymous Content Studios’ Head of Television Garret Kemble, Director of Development Ryan Schwartz and Chief Creative Officer David Levine on the Cyberpunk 2077 project. The team has begun searching for a screenwriter for the brand new story set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

There have been 25 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077 sold so far. The game has been lauded for its massive open world, action-packed gameplay and complex story that changes based on players’ choices, like whether they want to complete missions with guns blazing, stealth or hacking. The game is set in Night City, a futuristic tech hub ruled by mega corporations and robotics-enhanced gangs.

The Cyberpunk 2077 game also has some Hollywood star power, with Keanu Reeves playing a lead character named Johnny Silverhand. An expansion, titled Phantom Liberty which features Idris Elba, was released last week and has already sold 3 million copies. Netflix also released an anime series based on the game, titled “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.” CD Projekt Red’s other popular video game series, The Witcher, already has a popular live-action show on Netflix, which has been renewed for a fourth season.
