Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is available on Battle.net starting in late 2026, alongside its Phantom Liberty expansion and the Ultimate Edition bundle. CD PROJEKT RED is working on Project Orion, and the anime sequel Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 premieres in fall 2026 with Studio Trigger returning.

Synthesized from 15 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

Cyberpunk 2077's current standing is shaped by a string of storefront and merchandise moves that arrived after a summer discount wave. In July 2026, a 70% off sale on Steam pushed concurrent players past 100,000 and the game's lifetime sales past 40 million copies. The same discount period fed into interest around the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 teaser that ran on June 30. The sale ended July 10, but the game stayed in circulation through a Cyberpunk-themed Steam Fest in August, where it was again offered at 70% off.

The Edgerunners side of the franchise has its own momentum. Netflix confirmed a fall 2026 premiere for the 10-episode Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, with Studio Trigger returning and Bartosz Sztybor as showrunner. The sequel tells a standalone story with a new cast. Fan activity followed: a Nexus Mods release let players recreate the character Talia from the teaser, and a separate volunteer team showed footage of a 66-player multiplayer mod called CyberMP, though that mod has no release date.

On the business side, CD Projekt changed its official company name to CD Projekt Red on June 30, 2026, after a shareholder vote, and the company is developing multiple projects under Unreal Engine 5, including the sequel Project Orion. At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard announced that Cyberpunk 2077, its Phantom Liberty expansion, and the Ultimate Edition will be sold on Battle.net starting in late 2026. Overwatch content themed around Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its sequel is set for 2027. A pop-up store in Ikebukuro and a Tokyo Game Show merchandise booth round out the merchandise push.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II Trailer Reveals Standalone Story for Fall 2026

Netflix released the first full trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II on June 29, 2026, confirming a fall 2026 premiere for the 10-episode anime. Studio Trigger returns to animate the sequel, which tells a standalone story with an entirely new cast of characters rather than continuing the original series. Bartosz Sztybor is back as showrunner. The official logline describes the series as "a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge" set in Night City, where violence has become entertainment and survival often means becoming part of the spectacle. The logline poses the question: "When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?" The first Cyberpunk: Edgerunners became a breakout hit for Netflix and CD Projekt Red after its 2022 debut, helping revive interest in the Cyberpunk 2077 game. The new season follows a different set of characters navigating the same dystopian setting.
