Studio Trigger Reveals New Details About Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Studio TRIGGER has made some of the most energetic and stylish anime franchises in the world, with the animation house set to dive into the world of CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077. While the video game itself spanned quite a few stories in the realm of Night City, the Netflix anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is set to wave some new tales for the streaming service, with TRIGGER taking the opportunity to highlight some of the aspects of this Netflix original.
Netflix has become well-versed in the world of video game adaptations, with the likes of Castlevania and The Witcher becoming some fan-favorite series on the streaming service. With the platform currently working on series such as Far Cry, Devil May Cry, and a new Castlevania series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is in good company whenever it arrives on the streaming service.
"Trigger admits its team was partially inspired by Blade Runner when it came to designing Lucy. The group wanted to give the character a more mature look as opposed to those found in previous titles with students, kids, and more. And as a whole, Trigger believes its whole cast of characters are attractive.
David's English actor is revealed. It is none other than Zach Aguilar, the dub voice of Tanjior in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. And now, we can add Cyberpunk Edgerunners to his portfolio.
The Trigger team comments on the anime's English dub. Wakabayashi liked how both dubs sounded whether in English or Japanese. And as for the opening animation, well – we get to see it live here at Anime Expo! And to confirm, the opening is epic! Expect lots of gorgeous color and explosions!"
With the series set to arrive on Netflix's streaming service, here's the platform's official description for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners:
"In a dystopia riddled with corruption and cybernetic implants, a talented but reckless street kid strives to become an edgerunner: a mercenary outlaw."
While no new games have been confirmed that will continue the universe of Cyberpunk, it seems that the franchise is finding plenty of life not just with this new series but also in the world of comic books as well.
