Gameplay focuses on building the ultimate team of “Edgerunners.”
Players will compile characters from across the entire series to form their squads, battling against opponents to assert dominance in the dark future setting.
The project emphasizes high production value, featuring “breathtaking custom artwork” designed to appeal to competitive trading card players, dedicated collectors, and fans of the video game and anime series alike.
Several cards featuring iconic characters and equipment have already been revealed:

To jumpstart the project, a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter is scheduled to launch in 2026.
As an early incentive for fans, the official website is currently running a promotional campaign.
Users who sign up for updates on the site will receive an exclusive card featuring Lucy, the netrunner and deuteragonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
The announcement continues the expansion of the Cyberpunk IP, which has seen a massive resurgence in popularity following the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion.
