Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Cyberpunk Edgerunners Characters Getting Expanded Lore Through Tabletop Game

I really wanna stay at your house and play TTRPGs.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 from Netflix, Studio Trigger, and CD Projekt Red is up in the air right now, but an expansion for tabletop role-playing game Cyberpunk Red will expand upon the lore of its beloved characters.

As reported by Dicebreaker, the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit will act as a standalone starter set for the TTRPG when it's released later in 2024 but also reveal more about Lucy, Rebecca, and other fan favorites.

The lore is authentic too, coming straight from Edgerunners creator Rafał Jaki when creating RPG stats for the anime characters. Players won't take on the roles of these characters themselves, however, but instead meet them throughout the course of the story.

Seven pregenerated characters will be provided for players, letting them explore Night City with their own Edgerunners crew before the events of the anime.

These could be the last morsels of lore fans will get for the cast of Edgerunners as a second season is yet to be announced despite the first premiering to great critical reception in 2022. The show even sparked a resurgence in the Cyberpunk 2077 video game that saw upwards of one million players jumping in each day.

CD Projekt Red's Japanese community manager Satoru Honma said in October 2022 that there are no plans to continue the show, however, saying Edgerunners was intended to be a standalone work. This comes as the Cyberpunk franchise expands elsewhere, into books, comics, and even a mysterious live action project.
