Capitalizing on a Resurgent Universe
The 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' anime on Netflix was a massive critical and commercial success, single-handedly revitalizing interest in the 'Cyberpunk 2077' video game and saving its reputation. CD Projekt Red has clearly seen the power of this universe beyond the core game, and a project based directly on the anime is the most logical next step.
The Obvious Next Project
The overwhelming 'Yes' vote is based on straightforward business logic. The IP is hot, the audience is proven, and the core game engine and assets already exist, significantly reducing development time. CD Projekt Red has a history of announcing games years in advance, and a 2026 release for a project that could have entered pre-production after the anime's 2022 success is a highly plausible timeline.
