MOVIE NEWS – Netflix has begun developing a new anime set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe after the success of Edgerunners…
Cyberpunk 2077 has not only managed to make up for its disastrous start altogether but has also become one of the most popular titles in recent years. Whether it’s the patches released by CD Projekt, the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty expansion or the success of the Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners anime, the Polish company has produced one of the biggest comebacks for the futuristic action RPG in recent times.
While the sequel to the game is already in the works, CD Projekt also has two major projects related to the IP. What was confirmed in the last few hours is that the game world will receive another adaptation after Edgerunners in the form of an animated series on Netflix. “I’m also very happy to announce that we’re working on another animation project set in the Cyberpunk universe, which will be released on Netflix,” Piotr Nielubowicz said (via Insider Gaming) during the company’s recent earnings call.
The Cyberpunk 2077 live-action film, which was announced over a year ago, was also recently revealed to be in the early concept stage.
The film promises to capture the essence of the game, its dystopian-futuristic world. “I mean, the conceptual stage has various stages of advancement, so we’re for sure further in than we were a year ago, but we’re also not yet at the stage where we would be shopping around the concept to potential streamers or studios,” said Michał Nowakowski, CD Projekt’s co-CEO (via VGC).
CD Projekt RED’s other (not only) Cyberpunk 2077 announcements
In the past few hours, it was reported that Cyberpunk 2077 has reached a new sales milestone. The Polish company can boast a vast sales figure: the game has sold 30 million copies! In addition, the sci-fi RPG expansion has already been purchased and downloaded over 8 million times. However, the other big news of the day for the company is that The Witcher 4 has entered a new development phase. Thus, it left the pre-production stage behind and has now entered full-scale production.
