With all the drama surrounding the initial release of Cyberpunk 2077, it would be easy to forget that there is another exciting project on the way: an anime spin-off of the famous Trigger studio. (This is the same team behind projects like Promare, Little Witch Academy, and Kill the Kill.) The Netflix series was first announced in 2020, and now we finally have the first Cyberpunk trailer: Edgerunners. It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on in the one-minute clip, but it sure sounds amazing.
If you are curious about the real premise, here it is:
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners tells a 10-episode independent story about a street child trying to survive in a city of the future obsessed with technology and body modification. Having lost everything, he decides to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner, an outlaw mercenary also known as cyberpunk.
Edgerunners has some star talents, including director Hiroyuki Imaishi, writers Masahiko Otsuka and Yoshiki Usa, character designer Hiroyuki Imaishi, and composer Akira Yamaoka. The show is expected to hit Netflix in September.
