The world of Night City is about to expand in an exciting new way. While fans eagerly await the next major Cyberpunk 2077 video game, CD Projekt Red has revealed a fresh spin on the franchise: a fully licensed Cyberpunk Trading Card Game (TCG).
Promising strategic deck-building, immersive gameplay, and appearances from fan-favourite characters like V and Judy Alvarez, the card game brings the gritty, neon-soaked universe of Cyberpunk to a whole new medium. With a Kickstarter campaign set for March 17, 2026, players can soon step into Night City in an entirely different way, no console required.
The Cyberpunk 2077 universe is expanding in a new direction with the official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game (TCG), a physical collectable set that CD Projekt Red and tabletop newcomer WeirdCo are bringing to life.
While a full video game sequel remains years away, fans now have a fresh way to experience Night City through strategic card battles, deck building and iconic characters from both Cyberpunk 2077 and the Edgerunners anime.
This announcement marks a major step for the franchise, taking the beloved RPG’s world beyond screens and into tabletop play — and it’s backed by an upcoming Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign scheduled for March 17, 2026.
The Cyberpunk Trading Card Game is a physical trading card game inspired by the futuristic world of Night City, where players build decks and compete in tactical matches. The cards feature beloved characters, powerful gear and cybernetic upgrades straight from Cyberpunk 2077 and the Edgerunners anime.
Players will assemble their own edgerunning crews, pit them against rivals and take on gigs to earn reputation, echoing the thrill of the video game in a tabletop format.
Unlike some trading card games that blur digital and physical play, this project is entirely physical, embracing the collectable card game format fans have cherished for decades.
To fund production, CD Projekt Red and WeirdCo are launching a Kickstarter campaign on March 17, 2026. Those who sign up early on the game’s website can receive a free exclusive Lucy card, a nod to the popular Edgerunners character, when the campaign goes live.
WeirdCo plans to use the crowdfunding success to gauge demand and ensure enough supply at launch, making backing the project the most reliable way for fans to secure the cards early.
The card game scene in 2026 is already crowded, with titles like Star Wars Unlimited and Magic: The Gathering continuing to dominate. However, the Cyberpunk TCG could carve out its niche, combining Cyberpunk’s bold narrative flavour with familiar trading card mechanics.
The coming months will likely reveal more about gameplay balance, deck strategies and competitive play as the Kickstarter approaches its launch date.
A trailer and gameplay showcases have given the first look at the TCG’s core mechanics. Cards will fall into various categories, including:
The gameplay loop draws inspiration from the RPG’s themes, including building reputation, taking gigs and staying one step ahead of rivals, all translated into card play rather than character control on screen.
One standout feature of the TCG is its commitment to high‑quality, original art that captures the gritty, stylish essence of the Cyberpunk universe. Developers have emphasised that the artwork is either new pieces or classic game art, not generated by AI, preserving the franchise’s creative integrity and visual identity.
Early leaks and trailers showcase a range of card designs, from chrome‑enhanced equipment to character portraits that will appeal to both collectors and competitive players.
Five years after the original Cyberpunk 2077 launch, the franchise has grown beyond video games into a broader cultural presence. Anniversary celebrations included a light‑up collector’s set and other merchandise, but the TCG marks the first major step into physical gaming formats tied to the core world of Night City.
For fans eagerly waiting on Cyberpunk 2, currently in pre‑development and expected around 2030, this card game provides a fresh way to stay engaged with the world and its characters while official video game releases remain years away.
While fans await the full sequel, Cyberpunk 2, planned for around 2030, the card game keeps the franchise lively and interactive. There are no current plans for additional video game expansions to Cyberpunk 2077, making the TCG a key piece of future engagement for fans of Night City and its eclectic cast of characters.
