Following the success of the animated series Cyberpunk Edgerunners, CD Projekt RED is set to expand the dark world of Night City further. Fans can expect new animated projects that will continue the story of this dystopian city. The studio, known for its hit game Cyberpunk 2077, aims to replicate its animation success.
Michal Nowakowski, co-CEO of CD Projekt RED, has not provided specific details or dates yet. However, he confirmed to investors that more animations in the Cyberpunk universe are in the works. This news has excited fans and demonstrates that video game stories can also thrive in series format. The positive response to Edgerunners seems to be driving plans to bring Night City back to screens.
Big Projects Underway: Animations And Games Together
At the same time, CD Projekt RED is focusing heavily on its major upcoming video game projects. The studio is working on The Witcher 4 and the next Cyberpunk game, codenamed Orion. These projects will use most of the studio’s resources, with a significant portion of the team expected to work on Cyberpunk 2 by the end of 2024.
Despite the intense focus on these games, fans should not expect a long wait for a sequel to Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Similar to the first series, CD Projekt RED might again partner with an experienced animation studio like Studio Trigger, with the studio providing guidance. This approach would allow simultaneous development and release of animations and games. It could even include a game update, similar to the successful strategy used with Edgerunners.
