Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime gets a bloody NSFW trailer

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t everything that gamers were led to believe it was. But if you can overlook the glitches and technical problems, the video game expansion of the Cyberpunk world offered a tantalizing glimpse into a darkly compelling future. Next month, CD Projekt Red and Netflix are expanding that universe with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a new 10-part anime series. And if the new trailer is any indication, the anime won’t be toned down at all from the source material. Fair warning before you watch: This video features very intense and bloody violence, as well as some cartoon nudity. Suffice to say, it’s definitely NSFW.

The trailer goes by so quickly that it’s difficult to pin down the main characters or fully comprehend what’s happening. What we can say for sure is that Night City, the setting from the game, is here in all of its glory. And the leading guy is a young kid who has given over his body to the technology of the future. He’s become one of the cybernetic mercenaries who are known as edgerunners. But among the general population, the edgeunners are better known as cyberpunks.

To create this series, CD Projekt Red began development in 2018 and partnered up with Studio Trigger, a famous Japanese animation company. It’s more than just a video game adaptation, and it stands alone in the Cyberpunk universe with its own narrative and characters.

Yoh Yoshinari directed the series from a screenplay by Yoshiki Usa and Masahiko Otsuka. Additionally, Silent Hill veteran Akira Yamaoka will compose the music for the series.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will have a global premiere on September 13.

How did they pull off those amazing action scenes in John Wick: Chapter 4?
John Wick stands behind a car in John Wick: Chapter 4.

In the last decade, the John Wick movies have grown in popularity thanks to their availability on DVD and streaming services. With each successive release, the films have become more adored and commercially successful. While a bulk of that credit goes to lead star Keanu Reeves (who is no stranger to popular action movie franchises), the talented supporting cast, the excellent worldbuilding, and director Chad Stahelski's unique vision, the incredible action scenes are what people talk about the most.

That's never been more true than in John Wick: Chapter 4, which sees our hero survive an ambush in a hotel in Osaka, engage in a knife and ax fight in a rainy nightclub in Berlin, and outrun, outlast, and outkill hundreds of bounty hunters across Paris. Digital Trends talked to two members of Chapter 4's stunt team, Scott Rogers and Stephen Dunlevy, about their past work histories with Reeves, George Miller, and Baz Luhrmann, how they pulled off that insane chase scene at the Arc de Triomphe, and whether or not Reeves is as nice of a guy as everyone thinks he is.
