Netflix has announced that Cyberpunk Edgerunners will be released on September 13.
The news was revealed alongside the release of a new trailer for the anime series, which is viewable below.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is animated by Tokyo-based animation company Studio Trigger.
It’s directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) and features an original score composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill).
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher studio CD Projekt Red is producing the series, which it has been working on since 2018.

“Having everything to lose, he stays alive by becoming an edgerunner — a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.”
Netflix released the first Cyberpunk: Edgerunners teaser trailer in June.
CD Projekt claimed in April that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 18 million copies since its December 2020 release.
