If you missed that news, CD Projekt is working on a TV show based on Cyberpunk 2077, their much-hyped game that crashed and burned at launch due to so many bugs.
Now, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is almost here, a 10-episode anime in the universe of the game that will be released on Netflix. Yes, Cyberpunk is getting an anime!
Check out the latest Cyberpunk: Edgerunners trailer but be warned, it’s totally NSFW, which does look like a bit of a stunt to draw attention.

The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners plot
“The series tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in Night City – a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he stays alive by becoming an edgerunner – a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk,” is the official synopsis of the show.
Where you can watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Edgerunners is, as of now a Netflix exclusivity, and it will be here sooner than you think.
Check in on Netflix on September 13 to start watching.
The only thing we don’t know? It’s whether Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will be available all at once or in weekly installments.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners production
While Cyberpunk the game still struggles to find its footing despite countless bug fixes, Edgerunners has the potential to establish this name as a respectable franchise.
To make this anime, CD Projekt RED partnered with the prestigious Studio Trigger, the Japanese studio famous for Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia.
Indeed, director Hiroyuki Imaishi and creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi are taking the lead for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
To truly take it to the next level, the anime will have an original score by Akira Yamaoka, the legendary composer behind the Silent Hill series.
