Cyberpunk 2077's anime spin-off Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 began streaming on Netflix on October 20, 2026, a 10-episode standalone series with a new cast animated by Studio Trigger. A live-action film is in development at Paramount Pictures with CD PROJEKT RED, and no director, cast, or release timing has been announced.
Cyberpunk 2077 moves into late 2026 with three active threads. The game remains on sale across storefronts and has passed 40 million copies sold worldwide, a figure repeated in coverage from early July through early October. On Steam it has been discounted 70 percent in repeated sale windows, and concurrent players topped 100,000 in early July. A sequel is in development under the name Project Orion, and CD PROJEKT RED has taken that name as its official company name after a shareholder vote.
The anime side is now the franchise's most visible front. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a 10-episode standalone story with an entirely new cast, began streaming on Netflix on October 20. Studio Trigger animates, Kai Ikarashi directs, and Bartosz Sztybor returns as showrunner and writer. A review describes a deliberate shift from the first series' neon to sunlight and concrete. Coverage of the lead characters diverges on names and roles, so the cast is best described by the official four-character lineup rather than by any one preview.
Merchandise and crossovers have followed the anime: a pop-up store at Ikebukuro PARCO in September, an Apex Legends collaboration in July that turned the E-District map into Night City, and a Blizzard announcement that the game and its Phantom Liberty expansion will be sold on Battle.net from late 2026. A live-action film is in development at Paramount Pictures with CD PROJEKT RED; co-CEO Michal Nowakowski said it will not be a one-to-one adaptation of the game. No director, cast, or release timing has been announced.
