Netflix Teases New Cyberpunk Animated Series with CD Projekt Red

As part of Geeked Week, Netflix Animation has announced a new project in collaboration with CD Projekt Red set in the Cyberpunk universe, though specific details remain unclear. The announcement hints at a "return to Night City," sparking excitement among fans, especially after the success of the previous animated series, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which premiered in September 2022. CD Projekt Red's joint CEO recently confirmed plans for more animated content in the Cyberpunk universe during an earnings call but did not specifically mention whether this project would continue the Edgerunners story or delve into a different narrative within the Cyberpunk setting. Fans eagerly await further information on this mysterious project.

The new Cyberpunk animated project by Netflix is currently shrouded in mystery. While it promises a "return to Night City," details about the storyline or whether it will be a continuation of Cyberpunk Edgerunners have not been revealed.

Cyberpunk 2077, released in December 2020, experienced a troubled launch but has since gained popularity due to extensive updates and the critically acclaimed animated series Cyberpunk Edgerunners. The series expanded the Cyberpunk lore and rekindled interest in the game, making any new content in this universe highly anticipated by fans. The original tabletop role-playing game created by Mike Pondsmith serves as the foundation for both the video game and animated adaptations, and has a rich history that continues to influence media adaptations.
