- After the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, CD Projekt Red has announced a new animated series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
- Though there is currently little information available, the series intends to investigate new tales within Night City.
- CD Projekt Red’s larger plan to grow its franchises across several platforms includes this project.
A new animated series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 setting is being developed, according to CD Projekt Red.
In addition to sharing milestones for its well-known gaming brand, the studio made the news on Monday during its quarterly earnings call.
Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 30 million copies, and the Phantom Liberty expansion has sold eight million copies, according to CFO Piotr Nielubowicz.
The popularity of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series, which had its Netflix premiere in 2022, has greatly contributed to the game’s comeback.
In contrast to the game’s story, Edgerunners, which was produced in association with Studio Trigger, provided a fresh take on Night City. Nielubowicz underlined the significance of the new animation project to the franchise’s expanding fan base, even though information is still limited. He did not, however, state if Studio Trigger would be returning for the upcoming project.
A direct sequel seems improbable given Edgerunners’ ending. But Night City’s extensive lore presents chances to investigate new stories, perhaps focusing on the lives of Nomads, Corpos, or other marginalized populations in the dystopian setting.
The announcement is in line with CD Projekt Red’s larger goals. The firm is currently working on a number of significant projects, such as the eagerly awaited Witcher 4, a remake of the original Witcher, a stand-alone Witcher spin-off, and a Cyberpunk sequel (codenamed Project Orion). Earlier this week, the studio announced that Witcher is now in full-scale production.
