Netflix recently released the trailer for the new sci-fi animated series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, made by Studio Trigger Animation Club and based on CD Project RED’s infamous open world video game, Cyberpunk 2077.
The story, set in 2077, unfolds in Night City, an American megacity now controlled by corporations in a world now obsessed with cybernetic modification of bodies, resulting in cosmetic addiction and violence.
The main character is a young boy named David who works as an Edgerunner but is known as an outlaw mercenary known as “Cyberpunk”.
The trailer shows us a Night City characterized by neon lights, overpopulated futuristic skyscrapers and contexts out of our imagination, in a series that promises to be extremely adrenaline-pumping.
