‘Cyberpunk’ is a role-playing action video game and is set in the dystopian era of California. The player takes up the role of V, who is a part of an armed conflict for his own profit and later gets infused with a terrorist Johnny Silverhand. The anime series ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunner’ is the prequel to the video game series but is set in the same universe. The series revolves around a talented street kid named David Martinez, who loses everything in a drive-by shooting and decides to survive on the wrong side of the law as an edgerunner.

The official synopsis of ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ reads, “In a dystopia riddled with corruption and cybernetic implants, a talented but reckless street kid strives to become a mercenary outlaw — an edgerunner.”
Earlier, while talking about the future of the ‘Cyberpunk’ universe, CEO Michał Nowakowski said, “We are definitely planning to do more in terms of animation with Cyberpunk so I hope that’s enough as an answer.”
The title of this new ‘Cyberpunk’ project and its release date have not been announced yet.
