What happens

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Japanese: サイバーパンク エッジランナーズ, Hepburn: Saibāpanku Edjirannāzu) is an original net animation (ONA) miniseries created by Rafał Jaki. It was produced by the Japanese animation studio Trigger, under the supervision of the Polish video game company CD Projekt, and premiered on Netflix on September 13, 2022. Set in the dystopian Cyberpunk universe created by Mike Pondsmith, the anime is a standalone tie-in to the video game Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red, and follows David Martinez, a street kid who tries to survive in Night City's criminal underworld by becoming an edgerunner—a cybernetically-enhanced mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners received critical acclaim, with praise directed at its writing, characters, action, animation, music, and worldbuilding. Its success contributed to the reappraisal of Cyberpunk 2077, as the game saw a significant increase in sales and players following the anime's release. A standalone sequel series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, is set to be released in Q4 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
