Cyberpunk 2077 Is Interested in More Anime, Animation Projects

As a dedicated follower of all things Cyberpunk, I must say the journey of this tech-infused universe has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From the rocky launch of the game to the electrifying success of the anime adaptation, Cyberpunk 2077 has proven itself to be resilient and adaptable, much like its characters.

Initially, the game “Cyberpunk 2077” had a challenging debut, but these days, under the supervision of CD Projekt Red, the game series has steadied itself. Notably, the history of “Cyberpunk 2077” is uncommon due to its difficult early phases. However, things improved with the introduction of “Cyberpunk Edgerunners“, an anime collaboration between CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger, known for productions like “Kill la Kill “and “Promare“. The show was an immediate success, and now it appears that CD Projekt Red is considering broadening its involvement in the anime industry.

Information has emerged that Micha? Nowakowski, head of our game development company, made a statement during our recent earnings call. He revealed that CD Projekt Red intends to further invest in animations for the Cyberpunk series in the future.

In a subsequent question, Nowakowski was queried about a potential second season of Cyberpunk Edgerunners. The executive didn’t dismiss the idea, as they have done so with other projects in the past. Instead, Nowakowski emphasized the developer’s enthusiasm for more animation ventures, but for now, specifics regarding this topic remain undisclosed.

It’s apparent that the creators of Cyberpunk 2077 hold a deep affection for anime, and they owe Studio Trigger’s title a significant debt. The series debuted in September 2022 at a time when interest in the game was waning, but Cyberpunk Edgerunners breathed new life into the IP. The show’s complex characters and stunning animation soon made it one of the gaming industry’s top adaptations to date. With CD Projekt Red considering a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, anything is possible.

To learn more details about the popular anime series “Cyberpunk Edgerunners”, head over to Netflix where it’s currently streaming. The show is available in both subtitled and dubbed versions, so you can choose according to your preference. For a comprehensive understanding of the anime adaptation, I recommend taking a look at its official synopsis provided below:

In a world dominated by dishonesty, violence, and advanced cybernetic technology, David Martinez – a headstrong yet gifted street urchin – finds himself stripped of all he possesses following a random drive-by shooting. Determined to endure, he decides to navigate the criminal underbelly as an “edgerunner”: a versatile, illicit mercenary often referred to as a “cyberpunk”.
