Netflix and CD Projekt Red have announced a new collaboration following the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a surprising anime spin-off that defied expectations. The new project will once again immerse fans in the neon-lit world of Night City, but details are still scarce at this point.
The teaser posted on Netflix’s social media account simply featured the logos of Netflix, CDPR, and Cyberpunk, along with the words “return to Night City.” While it’s safe to assume that the new project will be an animated show, it’s unclear whether it will be a direct continuation of Edgerunners or a completely new spin-off.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, released in 2022, introduced viewers to a new set of characters and expanded on the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Although the mini-series was well-received, CDPR announced that there wouldn’t be a second season. This new collaboration with Netflix hints at a fresh perspective on the game’s dystopian setting.
Despite the rocky launch of Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020, the game has become a significant success for CD Projekt Red, alongside their renowned Witcher series. While the studio is currently focused on developing The Witcher 4, they have confirmed that a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is in the works for the future.
In the meantime, fans can also look forward to a new tabletop game set in the Cyberpunk universe, scheduled for release in late 2025. The game promises stunning visuals and immersive gameplay, offering another way for players to experience the world of Night City.
Overall, the upcoming collaboration between Netflix and CD Projekt Red is an exciting development for fans of Cyberpunk 2077, providing a new avenue to explore the rich lore and captivating world of the game. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated project as details continue to emerge.
