The message from the main staff is as follows.

Adam Badowski (Cyberpunk 2077 Game Director/CD PROJEKT RED Development Team Chief):
I am very pleased to announce the production of an anime set in the world of 'Cyberpunk 2077'. Everyone on our development team is crazy about watching, reading, playing and playing cyberpunk work. The cyberpunk genre has a lot of creativity and has had a strong impact on us. 'Cyberpunk Edge Runners' is our love letter for the cyberpunk genre itself and the medium of expression called animation.

Masahiko Otsuka (President and CEO, TRIGGER):
CD PROJEKT RED, which is enthusiastically supported by game fans around the world, is excited to be able to create a new original anime series of 10 episodes that shared the world view of the expected new work 'Cyberpunk 2077' with a trigger. .. Although I feel pressured to animate the best game, I am burning the fighting challenge to this fascinating challenge, and I am also working on the idea of hard action that Imaishi can not express in the TV series. I definitely want to succeed.

Hiroyuki Imaishi (Director):
Cyberpunk is a favorite genre, but it was a difficult subject to make as an original work, so I am happy to be able to work with CD PROJEKT RED this time. It's not so easy to convince both game fans and anime fans that the game is perfect, but that's why it's worth doing and I'm enjoying the production. I would like to do my best so that I can exceed my expectations.

On the official YouTube channel of 'Cyberpunk 2077,' the announcement video featuring the character designer Yo Yoshinari, deputy director Masahiko Otsuka, and director Hiroyuki Imaishi will be released.
