“We’re positively planning on doing extra when it comes to animation with Cyberpunk so I hope that is sufficient as a solution,” joint CEO Michał Nowakowski advised traders on the time. “So anticipate to see extra for certain, however that is so far as I can go proper now.”
CD Projekt Crimson and Netflix first collaborated on Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which debuted in September 2022 to acclaim from followers and critics alike. It even helped gas extra curiosity again to Cyberpunk 2077, and followers had been clamoring for a second season.
