Good news. Very good news. CD Projekt RED and Netflix have announced that another animated series for Cyberpunk 2077 is in production.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is certainly one of the best video game adaptations. The animated series thrilled many fans and even gave the game a second spring. However, it was clear from the start that the story of Edgerunners was complete and a direct sequel was not an option.
But there is good news, because CD Projekt RED and Netflix have now announced that another series in the Cyberpunk universe is in the works, again an animated series. A short teaser already confirms that the game will once again be set in Night City, where a new story will be told.
There are no further details yet, but according to the announcement they will follow shortly. The short teaser only contains a “Return to Night City”, and a title has not yet been announced. It is also unclear whether the Japanese studio Trigger, which already produced Edgerunners, will again be responsible for the implementation. However, CD Projekt RED had already announced at the time that it was open to further projects with Trigger.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a huge success for CD Projekt RED and Netflix. The ten-part series also bagged high-ranking anime awards and nominations, including “Anime of the Year” at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2023. Will the new Cyberpunk series pull off the same feat? Well, hopefully we’ll find out relatively soon.
A good day for fans of video game animation series, especially since the event also confirmed that there will be a new series for Splinter Cell and a new Witcher series, Sirens of the Deep, will be starting on February 11th. Devil May Cry will also be there, and an animation series for it will also be starting in April.
As for the games in the series, Cyberpunk 2077 has been in development for some time now, although a few tweaks are still being made here and there. A patch was recently released that brought AMD FSR 3 into the game. Meanwhile, CD Projekt RED is working hard on the sequel, which will probably not be released until well after a new The Witcher.
