Oct 9 (Reuters) - Paramount ‌Pictures is ​developing ​a live-action film set in the universe of CD Projekt RED's video ‌game "Cyberpunk 2077" alongside producer Lorenzo di ⁠Bonaventura, entertainment outlet Deadline reported on Thursday, which sent ‌the Polish game developer's ‌shares 3% higher in early Friday trading.

"We're excited about Paramount as a future partner ​who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise," Michal Nowakowski, joint-CEO of ⁠CD Projekt RED, said in a post on social media ​platform X late on Thursday. "We look forward to sharing more details at the ​appropriate time."

• CD Projekt ‌RED told Reuters it had nothing to add beyond Nowakowski's post

• Paramount ⁠did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment

• Cyberpunk 2077 had sold 40 million ⁠copies as of July 3, with its "Phantom Liberty" expansion ​selling 15 million

• As of July 31, CD Projekt RED had 184 developers working on a sequel to ‌the 2020 title, with no launch date announced yet

• Paramount's involvement ‌should help sustain interest ahead of the ⁠next Cyberpunk instalment, Erste ‌analyst Krzysztof Tkocz ​said
