CD Projekt Red shares rose more than 4% after news that Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action film set in the Cyberpunk universe, with the game studio involved as a producer. The announcement adds to recent interest in the company’s two major franchises. The article also points to the October 20 premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, strong player numbers for the Witcher 3 remaster, and plans for a new Witcher 3 expansion in 2027. The Witcher 4 is planned for 2028.
