Announcing an original anime series – CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS!

[Lilayah]

We're excited to announce that together with an acclaimed Japan-based animation company, Studio Trigger, and the world's leading streaming entertainment service, Netflix, we're working on a new original anime series set in the same universe as Cyberpunk 2077!

CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner—a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.

Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) will direct the series along with assistant director Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren Lagann, Promare), creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi (Kill la Kill), character designers Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia, BNA: Brand New Animal) and Yuto Kaneko (Little Witch Academia), and the adapted screenplay by Yoshiki Usa (SSSS.GRIDMAN, Promare) and Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare). The original score will be composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series).

The series will premiere in 2022.

More details to come!

[MauricioMM]

Haven't seen much of their productions but I'm eager to see their take on the Cyberpunk universe.

Plus, I love the music of Akira Yamaoka, especially his more trip-hop stuff

 

[Keive]

Wow this is amazing. I really loved their work for Promare. I'm so excited to see this, a bit of a wait but I know it'll be worth it!

That's perfect! After more than one year playing Cyberpunk 2077, this anime will be very welcome for sure. It may make us rethink the way we are facing the Night City's possibilities.
