The critically acclaimed Netflix anime series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, adapted from CD Projekt Red`s popular game Cyberpunk 2077, is finally slated for a Blu-ray release. This comprehensive series collection is available for preorder, exclusively through the Crunchyroll Store. Priced at $124 (a discount from its original $155), it joins two other upcoming Blu-ray editions of Netflix animated shows based on video games. Edgerunners is scheduled to launch on October 23, shortly before the Arcane Season 2 Steelbook Editions and a few weeks after the Castlevania: Complete Series set.
It is noteworthy that Edgerunners remains a Crunchyroll Store exclusive, unlike the other two titles which will also be available for preorder at major retailers such as Amazon and Walmart.
Details of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Blu-Ray Collection
Co-produced by the celebrated animation studio Trigger and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red, Edgerunners first aired on Netflix in September 2022. The forthcoming three-disc Blu-ray compilation will present all ten episodes in stunning 1080p, preserving their original widescreen aspect ratio. For audio, viewers can select from English, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish tracks, with optional subtitles provided in multiple languages.
Although not officially designated as a limited or collector`s edition, the overall presentation and included physical items imbue it with a premium ambiance. The Edgerunners: Complete Series arrives in an oversized box featuring new artwork meticulously crafted by character designer and animation director Yoh Yoshinari. Inside, fans will discover an assortment of exclusive collectibles:
- Special Booklet
- Hiroyuki Imaishi`s Episode 10 Storyboard Booklet
- 3 Animation Cel Sheets
- 2 Year Anniversary Poster
Crunchyroll has yet to specify any on-disc bonus features, suggesting that new video content beyond typical anime Blu-ray extras like trailers or textless opening/closing sequences should not be anticipated.
The Narrative of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Set within the gritty, dystopian future of Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners chronicles the journey of protagonist David Martinez. Following a profound personal tragedy, David resolves to seize control of his destiny. As he navigates and rises through the treacherous ranks of Night City`s criminal underworld, Martinez strives to forge his legend as a cybernetically enhanced “Edgerunner.” However, in a metropolis defined by insatiable greed and a stark disregard for human life, he ultimately discovers the destructive consequences of his relentless pursuit of fame and power.
Upon its streaming launch, Edgerunners achieved widespread acclaim and played a significant role in the redemption narrative of Cyberpunk 2077. Its triumph can be largely attributed to the exceptional talent involved across its production, from Trigger`s breathtaking animation to the stellar voice performances, notably featuring Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking Bad fame in the English cast.
Further enhancing its appeal, the series boasts an incredible soundtrack composed by Akira Yamaoka, renowned for his iconic work on the Silent Hill series. This memorable score is also available on a distinctive vinyl disc, elegantly housed within a beautifully illustrated slipcase cover, offering fans a tangible piece of its auditory artistry.
Expanding the Edgerunners Universe: Manga and Board Game
Enthusiasts looking to expand their Edgerunners collection beyond the anime should be aware of two additional offerings: an upcoming manga prequel and Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Combat Zone, an official board game co-created by Monster Fight Club and CD Projekt Red. The board game, initially launched earlier this year for $100, is currently available for a reduced price of $76.
This tabletop experience promises immersive gameplay, complete with a game board featuring three-dimensional Night City ruins for terrain, alongside cards, dice, tokens, rulebooks, and acrylic standees. Its fast-paced nature, which eliminates traditional rounds or phases, demands quick thinking and decisive action from players as hits and wounds occur in real-time. This title is Monster Fight Club`s second Combat Zone board game set within the Cyberpunk universe; the first, Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone, is available for $87. Additionally, fans may be interested in Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City, a tabletop strategy game from CMON Limited, which offers deals on its base game and the Families and Outcasts Expansion:
-
Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City – $100 (originally $125)
- Families and Outcasts Expansion – $35 (originally $60)
- Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone – $87 (originally $125)
- Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: Combat Zone – $76 (originally $100)
The Edgerunners manga prequel, priced at $15, is slated for release in February 2026. This prequel will explore the origins of Rebecca, a beloved and memorable character from the series. The narrative is penned by Edgerunners screenwriter Bartosz Sztybor, with illustrations by Trigger`s Asano (known for BNA: Brand New Animal), ensuring a pedigree fitting for the franchise.
Other Netflix Animated Series Receiving Blu-ray Releases
While physical releases for Netflix animated series are generally rare, adaptations from video games often prove to be an exception. As previously mentioned, the Castlevania: Complete Series is scheduled for release on September 30, available for preorder at $150 (reduced from $155) through Amazon and Walmart. Similar to Edgerunners, this deluxe Seasons 1-4 limited-edition box set for Castlevania includes a variety of collectibles, such as a Ouija Game Board, a Tarot Card Deck, and a faux woodgrain collector`s box. It`s worth noting that individual Blu-ray releases for all four seasons are already accessible, as is Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1 on Blu-ray.
For those specifically interested in acquiring individual seasons of the original Castlevania series or Nocturne, various options remain available.
In other news, Arcane, the critically acclaimed series inspired by League of Legends, will receive two Limited Edition Steelbooks for its second and final season, mirroring the release strategy for Season 1. Distinct from Castlevania and Edgerunners, Arcane will also be offered on 4K Blu-ray. Fans can preorder the Arcane Season 2 4K Steelbook Edition for $46 and the Blu-ray Steelbook Edition for $43. For viewers who have yet to acquire Season 1, both Steelbook Editions are currently available at significantly reduced prices on Amazon.
Finally, all three seasons of Sonic Prime, another Netflix animated series based on a popular video game intellectual property, recently launched on Blu-ray. Sonic enthusiasts can obtain Sonic Prime: The Complete Series, which includes a collectible steelbook case, for $27 (originally $50).
