Cyberpunk 2077 brought one of gaming's most colorful universes to life, and now, Netflix is game to expand the world a bit further. It wasn't long ago fans learned Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was in the works and planned to bring an original story to the hit video game title. And now, fans have gotten a first look at the anime ahead of Netflix's Geeked Week in June.

The look came courtesy of Netflix today as the streaming service shared a promo for its Geeked Week festivities. It was there the reel shone a spotlight on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and its colorful aesthetic suits Studio Trigger just fine.

As you can see above, the stills don't give away much, but we get a clear feel for what's to come.

Studio Trigger's cell-shaded animation is on full display in these shots, and they look gorgeous in motion. So as you can imagine, fans are eager to get a full trailer for the anime.
