“Where chrome exceeds the flesh”
With only a month or so to go until the anime spin-off ofCyberpunk 2077hits screens, Netflix and CD Projekt have fired out a full trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. It has a little more background for the main characters, and introduces their cyborg posse. Watch the very edgy trailer below.
Wow, that was a lot of explosions. The new trailer reveals some of the supporting characters who’ll be turning up to cyberpunk in Edgerunners, and there’s a dash of romance too. My favourite characters in anime are usually the giant stoic blokes who belly laugh at the lead, so massive lad Maine seems like a welcome addition. There’s a completely naked and very dangerous-looking lady called Kiwi, and probably the punkest of the cyberpunks Pilar. The cast’s rounded out by the door-booting Dorio and shouty shooty teen Rebecca. You wouldn’t want to mess with any of these people.
CD Projekt’s Rafał Jaki is showrunner and executive producer on Edgerunners. Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill’s Hiroyuki Imaishi is directing. Rather awesomely, the show’s score is provided by Silent Hill’s Akira Yamaoka. That explains the bad-ass guitars.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Akira-slides its motorbike onto Netflix in September. Still no firm date on exactly when though.
