How EDGERUNNERS Saved Cyberpunk IP And When the NEXT CYBERPUNK Game Will Release!

The Cyberpunk Edgerunners aired on Netflix to the awe of many with critics and viewers praising it to the moon!

Shortly after the show aired, CD Projekt RED gave a statement that they are fully committed to the Cyberpunk IP in creating new content on various platforms.

In this video, I explain how exactly did Edgerunners saved the Cyberpunk IP despite the player uptick in Cyberpunk 2077 and the recent patch 1.6 leaving it to its inevitable demise. Though not a bad thing as this encourages CD Projekt RED to perhaps have a rethink and do more for Cyberpunk 2077 in the short term while staying confident for the next Cyberpunk game in the future.
