Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the standalone upcoming Netflix anime set in the same universe as the video game Cyberpunk 2077, received a new trailer in anticipation of its premiere next month.

​

The series tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in Night City — a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he stays alive by becoming an edgerunner — a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.

The 10-episode long anime will premiere on Netflix in September.

People hated the game, but I actually liked a lot (played on PC). I don't really watch TV series and this will no change now, but I recognize that there's a lot of good stories that can get out of night city.

I'm quite hyped for this

Did people actually hate the game or the piss poor performance?

I believe it's the later, and I didn't suffer from performance issues despite having a mid range PC. The noise came mainly from PS4 communities I believe.

Same thing, I'm playing it now on Geforce Now cuz I have an old PC, I'm liking the game a lot. I can see the "hate" for the performance on Xbox/Playstation but for the story, it's a pretty good RPG.

Well, personally I'd like to find the time traveling pranksters that showed CDPR the performance of an rtx 7080 and told them it was what a 2080 could do... and smack them upside the head for being so evil.

Yeah, you can bet people would get mad at the developers for not optimizing their game on old-gen consoles after a LONG time developing it. They started work on it what, right after PS4 and Xbox One came out? Why the hell does it run and look like crap?

eh... a purely commercial "anime" like this should be called adnime.

Might be worth a watch if it's a better passtime than the game

I'm always down for some more Cyberpunk-esque media. CDPR definitely dropped the ball with the initial release of CP2077, but the game was pretty stable (don't use quick resume) on my Xbox Series S.

anime looks lazy, just like every other modern day anime. looks exciting but lines and colors, textures are so bland and simple, just couple of lines and call it a day, nothing like ghost in the shell, ghibly and such. dissapointing. this is pure commercial anime and i can smell it.

This anime looks pretty good, it's definitely on my radar. Hoping there will be an English Dubbed version as well. Prefer not to read nothing but subtitles when watchin which takes away from my viewing enjoyment.
