Two years after the release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Netflix is teasing a return to Cyberpunk‘s Night City.
There aren’t any concrete details about the new project at this time, aside from the fact that it exists and will be an animation. Netflix says that further info will be “coming soon.”
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was released on Netflix on September 13, 2022 with 10 episodes. Its story follows street kid David (KENN) who, after a certain incident, encounters the netrunner Lucy (Aoi Yuki) and joins a group of cyberpunks. The anime is inspired by the 2020 open world sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red, which is in turn based on the tabletop RPG by Mike Pondsmith.
The Trigger-produced Edgerunners was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (Promare, Kill la Kill, Gurren Lagann) with Masahiko Otsuka (Promare, Gurren Lagann) as assistant director and Yoh Yoshinari (BNA: Brand New Animal and Little Witch Academia director) and Yuuto Kaneko (BNA: Brand New Animal animation director) as character designers. Yoshiki Usa (Working Buddies! series composer) and Otsuka served as scriptwriters.
Also part of the staff were Cyberpunk 2077 Business Development Director Rafał Jaki as showrunner and executive producer, Bartosz Sztybor as narrative director, and Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill video game series) as music composer.
