Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is getting its very own prequel manga, starring fan-favorite siblings Rebecca and Pilar. It’s up for preorder now for $14.99 / £13.99 at Amazon, with a release date set for February 24, 2026.

According to the listing, the story follows Rebecca and her brother as they chase their dream of becoming legendary edgerunners, just like their father.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Madness Vol. 1 is set in Night City, and promises plenty of chaos and bloodshed as the pair fight to survive a world consumed by greed and corruption, with a mysterious figure soon throwing their plans off course.

The manga is written by Cyberpunk: Edgerunners screenwriter Bartosz Sztybor, with art by Asano, best known for the BNA: Brand New Animal adaptation.

Edgerunners, which takes place within CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077 universe, was a massive success for Netflix and Studio Trigger, so much so that a sequel, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, is now in the works with Trigger once again leading production.

The show’s influence has clearly lingered. Nick Dragotta, character designer and artist behind the Absolute Batman comic book series, recently said he’d love to see Studio Trigger adapt the comics into an anime - another sign of just how impactful Edgerunners has been in bridging the gap between Western and Japanese storytelling styles.

In his review for IGN, Matt Kim said: "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners delivers a satisfying return to Night City that does a better job exploring why Mike Pondsmith’s famous location became so iconic in the first place."

"[It] doesn’t overtake Cyberpunk 2077 so much as it expands upon it. But for the best version of Night City this side of the 21st century, consider diving into Studio Trigger’s madcap vision of the famous tabletop RPG. It’s a wild ride, but worth every blistering second, choom."
