A NEW Witcher Saga is in active development and CD PROJEKT RED has partnered with Epic Games to use Unreal Engine 5 for their open world. How amazing is that? No Geralt this time, but we’ve been teased a new image showcasing a witcher school medallion & have gotten some updates showing that the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion may be on the way.
Lets get into the CDPR news!
If you’ve been following Cyberpunk 2077 for a while you’d remember that during the pre-release marketing blitz for the game, we saw a teaser from CDPR in partnership with Netflix and Studio Trigger showcasing Cyberpunk Edgergunners – a 10 part anime series following the footsteps of an mercenary in Night City.
With the cyberpunk genre having deep roots in 80s and 90s anime, it makes sense that Edgerunners would follow suit, and although I still think a CGI adaptation of Cyberpunk’s world would be my first choice, anime is also right up there knowing that GiTS is probably one of my favorite movies of all time.
Slated for 2022, we haven’t heard a peep from trigger, Netflix, or CD PROJEKT RED about Edgerunners so I did some digging to see what we could pull up about the developments of this 2077 spin off, and if its even still releasing!
CD PROJEKT RED unveiled a surprise during their first episode of the Night City Wire, with the announcement of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, a Netflix series in collaboration with infamous Japanese anime studio Trigger that will be releasing sometime in 2022.
In a post CDPR mentions that “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.
Edgerunners will be directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi from Gurren Lagann, Kill La Kill, and promare, along with director Masahiko Otsuka from Gurren Lagann and promare. Creative director is Hiromi Wakabayashi from Kill La Kill, and character designer Yoh Toshinari from Little Witch Academia, and Brand New Animal as well as Yuto Kaneko from Little Witch Academia. The screenplay will be done by Yoshiki Usa from SSSS Gridman and Promare as well as Masahiko Otsuka from Gurren Lagann, Kill La Kill and Promare. Finally the original score will be composed by Akira Yamaoka who did the Silent Hill series. This is apparently the dream team trigger has assembled in honor of their 10-year anniversary to work on Edgerunners.
It seems like anime fans hold all of these guys and studio trigger as a whole in high regard and I’ve been personally diving into some of these animes myself to get a better understanding of what this studio puts out.
Clarifying a bit further on what EDGERUNNERS actually is japan based producer Saya Elder mentions that they didn’t want to make a recreation of the game. The location will still be Night City, but it will feature new characters, a new story. They are hoping to make this a gateway for newcomers to the Cyberpunk game and the genre.
