CD Projekt Red has announced a new animated project set in the Cyberpunk universe, coming to Netflix.
CD Projekt Red is going back into the world of Cyberpunk with another animated project in collaboration with Netflix. Announced during the company’s quarterly earnings report today, this marks an exciting expansion for the Cyberpunk universe following the massive success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
The previous anime, developed by Studio Trigger, not only won critical acclaim but also reignited interest in Cyberpunk 2077, contributing to record-breaking sales after its release in 2022.
What we do know came straight from CD Projekt Red’s CFO, Piotr Nielubowicz, who shared: “I’m also very happy to announce that we’re working on another animation project set in the Cyberpunk universe, which will be released on Netflix.”
Netflix also teased a new Cyberpunk project back in September 2024. Alongside this announcement, Nielubowicz revealed some impressive milestones for the Cyberpunk franchise. Sales of Cyberpunk 2077 have officially surpassed thirty million copies, while its Phantom Liberty expansion has already hit eight million units sold.
“In less than four years since release we’ve already sold 30 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077, and as for Phantom Liberty – in just over a year it has sold over 8 million copies,” said Nowakowski.
“These are impressive figures. I’m very happy to see a large, dedicated community coalesce around our Cyberpunk games.”
The game and its expansion are also set to launch on Mac devices next year, broadening the audience even further. CD Projekt Red reported consolidated Q3 2024 revenues of 228 million PLN, with a net profit of 78 million PLN for the quarter.
Apart from that, the developer has also confirmed that the next mainline Witcher game, The Witcher 4, has entered full-scale production.
“I’m proud to confirm that several weeks ago the Polaris team wrapped up preproduction and moved on to full-scale production – the most intensive phase of development,” said Michał Nowakowski, Joint CEO of CD Projekt.
