Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 40 million copies globally, with a sequel in development under Project Orion. The anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II premieres in fall 2026, and a crossover with Apex Legends launches July 15, 2026.
Cyberpunk 2077 remains a major property for CD Projekt Red, with over 40 million copies sold and a sequel, Project Orion, in development. The company itself has unified its corporate identity, changing its name to CD Projekt Red after a shareholder vote, a move that simplifies brand communication as it works on multiple large-scale projects under Unreal Engine 5.
The upcoming Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II, a 10-episode standalone story set in the same Night City, is scheduled for fall 2026. Studio Trigger returns to animate, with Bartosz Sztybor back as showrunner. The sequel features an entirely new cast, treating the series as an anthology rather than a direct continuation. A fan-made mod for the game, released on Nexus Mods, already lets players recreate the appearance of Talia, a character from the new anime, ahead of its premiere.
Engagement with the game has spiked: Steam concurrent players exceeded 80,000 on June 28, driven by a 70% discount sale and anticipation for the anime, and later topped 100,000 after the sale began on June 18. The game also won an Apple Design Award in 2026 for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate. A crossover with Apex Legends, launching July 15, 2026, introduces core Cyberpunk mechanics-Sandevistan and Blackwall Breach cyberware, with a cyberpsycho penalty-into the battle royale's Wild Card mode, moving beyond cosmetic crossovers.

Netflix released the first full trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II on June 29, 2026, confirming a fall 2026 premiere for the 10-episode anime. Studio Trigger returns to animate the sequel, which tells a standalone story with an entirely new cast of characters rather than continuing the original series. Bartosz Sztybor is back as showrunner. The official logline describes the series as "a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge" set in Night City, where violence has become entertainment and survival often means becoming part of the spectacle. The logline poses the question: "When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?" The first Cyberpunk: Edgerunners became a breakout hit for Netflix and CD Projekt Red after its 2022 debut, helping revive interest in the Cyberpunk 2077 game. The new season follows a different set of characters navigating the same dystopian setting.
