CD PROJEKT RED Expands Cyberpunk Universe with Physical Trading Card Game; Kickstarter Set for 2026

To celebrate the franchise's fifth anniversary, CD PROJEKT RED has announced the official unveiling of the Cyberpunk Trading Card Game (TCG). Developed in partnership with specialized card game creator WeirdCo, this physical-only collectible game is set to immerse fans deeper into the iconic, neon-drenched dystopia of Cyberpunk 2077 and the critically acclaimed Netflix anime series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

This highly anticipated announcement, coinciding with a significant milestone for the intellectual property, signals a substantial expansion beyond video games and animation. The TCG offers a tactile, strategic experience for collectors and players alike. The game challenges participants to step into the shoes of Night City legends by meticulously assembling their ultimate edgerunner crew.

Gameplay centers on strategic battles where players leverage a diverse arsenal of cards. These cards feature memorable characters, crucial locations, essential gear, and thematic elements drawn from both the original game and the compelling Edgerunners narrative. The goal is to outmaneuver opponents and solidify their place in the city's cutthroat lore.

Anticipation for the project is already high, fueled by the promise of stunning, custom artwork designed to perfectly capture the gritty, neon-lit cyberpunk aesthetic beloved by millions. The game is specifically engineered to captivate a wide audience, appealing equally to dedicated TCG aficionados, serious collectors seeking high-quality memorabilia, and the immense global fanbase of the Cyberpunk universe.

To bring this ambitious project to fruition, ensuring top-tier production quality and expansive card sets, CD PROJEKT RED has scheduled a major Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for 2026. This approach allows the community to directly support the development and production phases. Early adopters are being incentivized with exclusive, value-added rewards. Notably, a complimentary Lucyna Kushinada card inspired by the beloved heroine from Edgerunners will be granted to those who sign up ahead of the campaign launch.

Alongside this major TCG reveal, the developer took a reflective moment to look back on Cyberpunk 2077's remarkable journey since its challenging 2020 debut, highlighting key successes like major subsequent updates and the triumph of the Phantom Liberty expansion. This new collectible card game venture ensures the vibrant narrative and artistic richness of Night City continues to engage the community in exciting and innovative ways, cementing the franchise's legacy across multiple media formats.
