CD Projekt Red narrative world designer Patrick Mills confirmed that the upcoming Cyberpunk anime project takes place in the year 2078. The newly clarified timeline firmly places the animated story one full year after the climactic events of Cyberpunk 2077.
The established chronology cements Cyberpunk: Edgerunners as the prelude set in 2076, which directly fed into V's volatile run through Night City. Pushing the timeline forward into 2078 means audiences will see the immediate power vacuum left in the wake of the corporate bloodbath.
If you were hoping to see how the underworld reorganized after the assault on Arasaka, this setting guarantees a fresh wave of corporate warfare. CD Projekt Red has yet to confirm a release date or animation studio partner for the project.
