“We aim to tell a story in the world of Cyberpunk, but it won’t be a one-to-one translation of the game’s story.”
The expansive Cyberpunk universe, originally created by tabletop RPG designer Mike Pondsmith, offers a rich backdrop for exploring themes like identity and autonomy. This approach mirrors the strategy used in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, an anime series that presents an original storyline with new characters while remaining faithful to the game’s setting.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, led by Studio Trigger, returns to Netflix with its second season on October 20. Fans can gain further insight from an IGN interview with the anime’s creators.
Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red is venturing into new territory with Project Hadar, its first game set in an original universe. Previously, the studio has adapted existing worlds, such as The Witcher series and Cyberpunk. Additionally, CD Projekt Red has recently launched a remastered version of The Witcher 3, addressing some visual issues post-launch, and is continuing work on Cyberpunk 2, though its release is still some time away.
