Creators of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Tease Exciting New Project Ahead of Anime Expo 2025
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Set to Return with New Content
The creators of the acclaimed anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners have teased an upcoming announcement, stirring anticipation among fans. While details remain under wraps, the team hinted at revealing something new before the widely anticipated Anime Expo 2025, scheduled to take place in Los Angeles from July 3 to July 6. The surprise teaser was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the show’s official account confirmed their presence at the event and promised a special reveal.
A Brief Recap: The Success of the Original Series
Launched in September 2022, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners served as a compelling prequel to the popular Cyberpunk 2077 video game, set a year prior to the game’s storyline. The series followed the journey of David Martinez, a teenage boy from the Latino diaspora, who, after suffering a family tragedy, abandons his studies to become a mercenary known as an edgerunner. The show was praised for its intense storytelling, stunning animation, and deep dive into the gritty cyberpunk universe.
What Could the Future Hold?
Looking at the series’ ending, fans are speculating that a continuation is likely — though it might not be a direct sequel. Instead, it could take the form of a new series, a spin-off, or even focus on a different protagonist. Recently, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) released a comic that explores the backstory of Rebecca, one of the standout characters from Edgerunners. This hints at the studio’s interest in expanding the universe through various media.
Hints of More Content and Past Announcements
Interestingly, back in September 2024, during Geeked Week, CD Projekt Red and Netflix teased a new collaborative project through a brief trailer. However, since that reveal, there has been silence, leaving fans eager for more updates. The mystery surrounding the upcoming project has only heightened anticipation.
Other Exciting Developments in the Cyberpunk Universe
Meanwhile, Hideo Kojima has announced that a Death Stranding anime is currently in production. Unlike the game, the series will not follow the original storyline but will instead offer a new narrative that could potentially compete for awards at festivals like Cannes or Venice. This move signals a broader push into high-quality, cinematic anime adaptations from major game franchises.
