Universal Pictures has announced that they’ve recruited Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball to helm an adaptation of Reikon Games’ brutal cyberpunk shooter, RUINER. In addition to Ball directing, Turistas writer Michael Arlen Ross has joined the project to write the screenplay.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, on top of directing duties, Ball will be producer, alongside Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg, and Joe Hartwick Jr. Meanwhile, Timothy I. Stevenson, Dan Jevons, Marek Roefler, Magdalena Tomkowicz, and Jakub Stylinski will executive produce. Universal Pictures’ senior VP of production development Ryan Jones will oversee the project for Universal with creative executive of production development Jacqueline Garell.

Bullet Train and Nobody producers Kelly McCormick and David Leitch will produce RUINER through 87North’s first look-deal with Universal Pictures.

Released to Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017 (and the Nintendo Switch in 2020), RUINER takes place in the year 2091 in the cyber metropolis known as Rengkok. The player assumes the role of a nameless protagonist that’s led by a rogue hacker named Wizard to assassinate a man known as the Boss, who is head of a conglomerate that owns Rengkok.

Before the protagonist reaches the Boss, the signal from Wizard to the protagonist is overridden by another hacker known only as Her. Her explains to the protagonist that Wizard was contracted by another group, and that the protagonist’s brother has been kidnapped. The player must now track Wizard down and save his brother.
