By Rollin Bishop

Netflix has officially announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will release on the subscription service on September 13th. This confirms the release date that was previously making the rounds earlier this month. In addition to the confirmation of the release date, Netflix has also released a new NSFW trailer for the upcoming anime that is loosely based on the CD Projekt Red video game Cyberpunk 2077.

The trailer is a neon-soaked series of action scenes, heavy on gunfire and some nudity. There's also a warning as there is plenty of flashing, strobing lights included. You can check out the new trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners for yourself embedded below:

Additionally, Netflix has released a new character poster for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners featuring Lucy, a prominent character in the upcoming anime. "The brilliant Lucy, a skilled netrunner and an important member of Maine's mercenary crew," a description from Netflix of the character reads. "Despite her highly sought-after technical abilities, she wants nothing more than to escape Night City and her dangerous past."
