Less than a week after its triumphant return to Netflix, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is already making waves again. The acclaimed animated series, which shot straight to the top of the U.S. charts, has confirmed a new expansion set for 2027. But this time, the action is moving from the screen to the tabletop.
The show, set in the dystopian world of CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, first premiered in September 2022 to near-universal praise. Its standalone sequel, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, dropped four years later in October 2026, continuing the story in the neon-soaked streets of Night City. Now, fans won't have to wait nearly as long for the next chapter.
According to reports, the franchise is expanding into the world of collectible card games with a new set titled "Edgerunners: Burn Bright". Slated for a spring 2027 release, this expansion follows the successful Cyberpunk Trading Card Game Kickstarter campaign from earlier this year. The first set, "Welcome to Night City," is set to hit shelves on November 6, 2026, with pre-release tournaments kicking off a week before the full retail launch.
WeirdCo, the company behind the TCG, is already looking ahead. Co-founder Elliot Cook shared the excitement: "The community reception to Cyberpunk TCG has been nothing short of incredible so far, so we want to deliver something even more exciting with Set 2. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners provides us so many opportunities to evolve this game in meaningful ways, both mechanically and artistically, and we can’t wait to share that with players."
So what can players expect from Burn Bright? The expansion brings the Netflix anime into the card game, featuring iconic weapons, cyberware, and fan-favorite characters from Season 1. Players can expand their existing crews or build entirely new ones around their favorite edgerunners, unlocking powerful strategies for competitive play. The cards will feature vibrant artwork that captures the anime's signature style, complete with foil and textured finishes that are sure to impress both casual and hardcore collectors.
This announcement comes on the heels of other exciting news in the streaming world, including the latest crossover update for Cyberpunk 2077 and the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 series on Prime Video. It's clear that the cyberpunk genre is having a major moment across all forms of entertainment.
For those who haven't yet experienced the series, both Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its sequel are currently streaming on Netflix. And with the trading card game expansion on the horizon, there's never been a better time to dive into the world of Night City. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer, the future looks bright — even if it's neon-lit and dangerous.
