A new artbook has been revealed for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the award-winning animated series based on the hugely popular game Cyberpunk 2077. The new book comes by way of Trigger, the Japanese studio behind the series, who has also shared a couple of previews of what you will find inside.
The book was revealed on social media by the studio's official account along with news that it will be up for pre-order on their official store on Friday March 6th. It will be sold for 6600 yen, which is around $42 or £32, but there is no mention of shipping options or prices. However, there is a global store page for Trigger that sells books and other merch, so there is a good chance that those outside of Japan will get the chance to add the new release to their shelf as well. Check out that storefront here.
The Art of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will come with 318 pages and 210mm x 257mm in size, making it slightly smaller than A4 but with more pages than a lot of artbooks. I'm unable to see whether this will be a hardcover or a paperback, though this will no doubt be confirmed on the 6th when the page goes live.
Trigger have also shared the following preview pages on social media to give fans of the anime an idea of what to expect. They highlight artwork for the background and characters, with some early designs on show indicating this will showcase concept art, not just the final designs. There is no text featured, so don't expect to get insights into each design, although it doesn't rule out the inclusion of insights in the book's introduction or elsewhere. This does give the book an appeal to those outside of Japan as a result, because being light on text means that non-native speakers won't be left missing out on details with these pages. There is no word on if it will be translated into English at this time.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was released in 2022 on Netflix by Studio Trigger in partnership with the game's developer CD Projekt Red. It follows David Martinez, an underprivileged teenager in the neon metropolis of Night City, but following tragic events, uses cyberware to become an 'edgerunner'. Becoming a mercenary, he meets fellow edgerunners and find himself in the dangerous underworld of enhancements and corporations. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was received well by both critics and the general audience and became so successful that a second season was announced in July of 2025, despite being planned as a standalone series.
Future news on the book will be shared here and be sure to head to the Trigger store on March 6th to secure a copy of the book for your own collection.
