The Cyberpunk 2077 universe returns this year with a new game that will surprise fans. And if it sees the light of day, it’s because the Netflix series Cyberpunk Edgerunners exists.
Even if CD Projekt Red does not rule out the possibility of bringing new features to their Cyberpunk 2077, these will only be small additions. There is no question of venturing into an extended expansion or other DLC which would monopolize a significant number of developers. And this is why the studio has chosen to further restrict the number of employees assigned to monitoring the game. The objective is to work on the next ones above all, but another company is positioning itself to take up the torch.
A radically different Cyberpunk 2077 game is coming
CD Projekt Red wants to have all the leisure to calmly develop all of its projects, including Cyberpunk 2 and The Witcher 4. And for that, there is no secret, you have to know how to move on, which the teams are doing by abandoning Cyberpunk 2077. But surprise, a company is recovering the universe and will offer a new game by the end of the year. This will not be a video game project, but a more surprising experience on paper which is already available for pre-order. Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Combat Zone is a tabletop skirmish game that adapts the Netflix series and the CP2077 universe itself.
“Cyberpunk Edgerunners Combat Zone is a licensed skirmish game based on CD Projekt Red and Netflix’s hit series, Cyberpunk Edgerunners. In the 2070s, cybernetically enhanced Edgerunners ply their trade in the shadows of corporations such as Arasaka. Their stories are many, unique, but somehow all the same. Can you lead these Edgerunners to success or will Arasaka see them die as legends? ».
This Cyberpunk 2077 game of another genre promises players that they will be able to react in an organized and fluid manner during the games. But also a fast and even “cinematic” experience in the absence of turns and phases. It also intends to stand out by putting aside the traditional rules of tabletop role-playing games.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners Combat Zone available for pre-order
For the rest, however, regulars should be on familiar ground. As usual, there are several editions, in this case two here, available for pre-orders. The Standard at $100 and the Collector at $250. However, be careful, if you want to dive back into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 in this way, it is important not to order other items on the distributor’s website. This would have the effect of canceling the pre-order. To find out more and possibly fall for one of the versions, head to the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Combat Zone page.
