Netflix announces new animated series for Cyberpunk

Netflix Brings Cyberpunk Back: New Animated Series Unveiled

In a highly anticipated announcement at the Geeked Week 2024 event, Netflix has revealed that a new Cyberpunk animated series is in development. The streaming giant is once again teaming up with CD Projekt Red, the creators of Cyberpunk 2077, to bring viewers back to the dark, futuristic streets of Night City.

What We Know About the New Series

The announcement included a teaser, though it didn’t give away much about the plot or characters. While it is confirmed that the new show will be set in Night City, it will feature a brand-new storyline and fresh characters. This means that fans of the critically acclaimed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners may not see a direct continuation of that series, as Studio Trigger, who handled Edgerunners, is not currently linked to this project.

A Break from Edgerunners

Despite the speculation surrounding a possible sequel, Netflix confirmed that the new show will not be a follow-up to Edgerunners, which won multiple awards and contributed to a resurgence in the popularity of Cyberpunk 2077 after its release. According to the creators, the upcoming anime will focus on expanding the universe rather than revisiting the previous series' storyline.

Netflix and CD Projekt Red: A Winning Collaboration

Netflix’s partnership with CD Projekt Red has already proven successful with the release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in 2022. The series not only gained critical acclaim but also boosted sales and engagement for the Cyberpunk 2077 game, with over 1 million players logging in daily after its debut.

Potential Impact on Cyberpunk 2077

The timing of the new series could once again reignite interest in the game. Given how the release of Edgerunners coincided with major updates to the game, it’s possible that the upcoming show could align with future patches or expansions for Cyberpunk 2077. This kind of synergy between the anime and the game has been a winning strategy in the past and may offer a similar boost in 2024.

What’s Next for Cyberpunk Fans?

With little information available at the moment, fans are eagerly awaiting more details on the plot, animation studio, and release date. Whether the new series will feature the same gritty, high-octane action that made Edgerunners so beloved remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the return to Night City will be an exciting journey.

Stay tuned for more updates as Netflix continues to tease details about this exciting new addition to the Cyberpunk universe.
