Netflix has shared the first full trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which contains many references to the game.The visually very busy anime draws inspiration from both Cyberpunk 2077 and its original source of inspiration: Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk board games.Edgerunners does tell a story of its own, by the way.Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is coming to Netflix in September.The series revolves around David who wants to live a life as an 'edgerunner', an outlaw and mercenary in the world of Cyberpunk.He is urged on by the legendary hacker Lucy.The two must find their way in the body-modification-obsessed Night City, also the setting of the game.There are several nods to the game in the trailer.For example, David appears to have a slow motion ability made possible in-game by the Kerenzikov body mod.Also, the bell interface is identical to that of the game, characters arrive in a location very similar to Lizzie's Bar, and David wears a jacket with the same distinctive collar as that of the Cyberpunk 2077 main character V.Since it is an anime, the makers can obviously 'blow up' all kinds of aspects of the visual style.Humans come in all shapes and proportions in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, where most in Cyberpunk 2077 have normal human proportions.Edgerunners also goes very far when it comes to colours;neon lights are inherent to Cyberpunk, but the anime often uses very extreme color palettes.Permission required to view YouTube This site contains external content originating from YouTube.Showing this content may cause YouTube to place cookies on your computer or other device.You must first give explicit permission for this.Open cookie preferencesThis place contains external content that comes from YouTube.Showing this content may cause YouTube to place cookies on your computer or other device.You must first give explicit permission for this.
