During today’s special Night Wire event, CD PROJEKT RED (CPR) announced that it has partnered with acclaimed Japan-based animation company Studio Trigger for an original anime series on Netflix called CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS. As you might have guessed by its title, the series will be set in the same universe as CPR’s heavily anticipated RPG, Cyberpunk 2077. Fans can expect 10 episodes, which will debut in 2022.
“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),” CPR noted. “The original score will be composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series).”
