Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was originally announced back in June 2020, months before CD Projekt Red's game even launched. "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," an announcement summary said of the plot.

Edgerunners is actually being developed by Studio Trigger for Netflix, a name you might've heard before in anime circles. They're responsible for such works as Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Darling in the Franxx, BNA: Brand New Animal, and Promare. If you've watched Star Wars: Visions, you'll have seen the works of Studio Trigger in two episodes: 'The Twins' and 'The Elder.' Studio Trigger has an astounding portfolio, meaning Edgerunners should be one to watch later this year.
