Cyberpunk Edgerunners premiered in September 2022 to high praise from fans and critics. even sparking in a resurgence in Cyberpunk 2077 that saw upwards of one million players jumping in each day. Fans also became enthralled in its story, and added elements like Cyberpsychosis to the game via mods.
IGN gave it a 9/10 in our review, saying: “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners delivers a satisfying return to Night City that does a better job exploring why Mike Pondsmith’s famous location became so iconic in the first place.”
Matching Crunchyroll, we also named it the best anime of 2022, adding that “Edgerunners makes a strong argument that CDPR might have something solid to build on for future Cyberpunk stories”.
