During the Geeked Week live event, Netflix Animation surprised fans by announcing a new collaboration with CD Projekt Red within the Cyberpunk universe. However, no concrete details were offered about what form this project will take. The brief preview only confirmed a “return to the night city“, inviting followers to stay tuned for more information.

While the announcement generated excitement, it was not entirely unexpected. Last month, during CD Projekt Red's latest earnings call, the company hinted that it "definitely" has more animated projects planned within the Cyberpunk universe. Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski commented: “We're definitely planning to do more in terms of animation with Cyberpunk, so I hope that's enough of an answer. You can expect more, but that's all I can say for now.“.

This new collaboration between Netflix and CD Projekt Red is the second joint project after the success of “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners”, which premiered in September 2022. The animated series was met with praise from fans and critics alike, reigniting interest in the video game Cyberpunk 2077 and leading many to call for a second season.

However, neither Netflix nor CD Projekt Red have confirmed whether this “return to Night City” will be related to a second season of Edgerunners. It should be noted that the end of the first season did not leave many doors open for a continuation, which led to speculation that Netflix Animation May Be Developing a Completely New Storybut set in the same dystopian Cyberpunk universe.

So far, everything remains a mystery. However, the possibility of returning to Night City has generated many theories among fans, who are waiting for more details about this new project. In short, while details about this upcoming project are scarce, the excitement about returning to Night City is still alive and well, and fans are eager to find out what surprises Netflix will bring in its new collaboration with CD Projekt Red.
