The anime features new characters and new stories


CD Projekt Red previewed new Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay in its Night City Wire livestream on Thursday, and also made a surprise announcement. In partnership with Netflix and Studio Trigger, CD Projekt Red will produce a new anime based on the Cyberpunk universe called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. While taking place in the same universe as the game, the series will feature new characters and and a new story.
The teaser trailer didn’t show any of the series’ animation, but the story will focus on a street kid trying to survive in the future city, according to a news release. Over the 10-episode story, he will become an Edgerunner — an outlaw mercenary.
Fans know Studio Trigger for anime like Kill La Kill, Promare, Darling and the Franxx, andLittle Witch Academia. Hiroyuki Imaishi of Kill La Kill and Promare will direct the series, alongside assistant director Masahiko Otsuka and creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi.Akira Yamaoka, of Silent Hill fame, will score the series.
“I’ve always loved cyberpunk as a genre, but always found it difficult to create as an original work,” said Imaishi. “This is why I’m very excited to be working with CD Projekt Red on this project. It won’t be easy to please both game and anime fans, but I love a challenge.”
The first season is scheduled to arrive on Netflix in 2022.

Although I like the fact that they have released the footage to the masses. But giving access just to some journalists to create a positive buzz is little uncharacteristic of this studio. And it is mostly used by studios to gain favours.

Instead of doing this, they should have released this code to public like a demo of sorts. It is not something new and would have been a much transparent look at the current situation of this project.

Game is already delayed for more than 6 months, it was best to just release a playanle demo.
I am pretty tired of game journalists these days. Not trustable in any way.

I'm still having a hard time digesting everything. There is so much detail every where you look its mind boggling. The city looks so atmospheric, dynamic and full of diverse activities. It feels like an immersive sim on a magnitude that simply hasn't even been attempted before. The truly unique and fresh cyberpunk aesthetic and mission design on top of all that really puts it in a league of its own.

My only concern is the QA. Bugs can never be truly eliminated, only minimized. The complexity of the systems in this game must be a nightmare for the QA teams. I hope by launch they have most of the stuff ironed out. Witcher 3 had its fair share of bugs but less so on PC based on my own experience. If they can reach that, I'd be satisfied with the results. If they feel the need to delay it further, I wouldn't hold that against them. What they have shown today instills enough confidence that the game is shaping up to be pretty special.

Can't wait for episode 2.

As I was saying to Chandoo and CT the other day. The reason why they have gone for delay and this style of showcasing the game is External QA and Localization bandwidth due to Corona situation. AAA relies on massive external partners i.e (https://www.keywordsstudios.com/, http://usspeaking.com/, etc for this service.
Which are NEEDED and MANDATORY to meet Console Certifications. Xbox and Sony have a whole list of certifications you have to go through and their QA plays the game asswell, and if they find those bugs for you, your game is rejected. This needs to happen 3 months before the launch. You can reapply for it again, but its not a cheap process. (cant reveal the details as I think its different for different studios and style of games)

And alot of these QA and Loc services cant give people the game to work from home due to "leaks" / and a number of people working on it are not super highly paid. Some of the biggest service providers are based in countries that went hard on shutting down.

All they are probably doing at this moment is squashing bugs. There is nothing nefarious behind releasing it in this manner, except for Covid. They know exactly how to break the game, and giving it in journalists hands when not enough QA passes and smoke tests have been done would've given people alot of doubt regarding technical capability.

Also they want people, who have been saving up to buy this game or were very interested in buying the game, to hold on just a bit longer. So its a carrot and stick kinda deal.
