Netflix has released the opening credits sequence for Cyberpunk Edgerunners
The show will premiere on the streaming service in September
Netflix has revealed the opening credits sequence for the upcoming Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime series.
Showcasing the talent working on the game and accompanied by Franz Ferdinand song This Fffire, the sequence was first shown during the ongoing Anime Expo 2022 in Los Angeles.
Set for release in September, 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.
According to Netflix’s official blurb: “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.”
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.
It also confirmed that is working on a major Cyberpunk 2077 expansion featuring a new storyline.
