CD Projekt Red and publisher Weird Co. have announced the Cyberpunk TCG, a new physical trading card game featuring characters and gear from Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners, built by veteran designers from Marvel Snap and Universus.
Night City is expanding beyond screens and streaming queues. CD Projekt Red has teamed up with publisher Weird Co. to announce the official Cyberpunk TCG, bringing the sprawling aesthetics and lore of Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners into the physical card space. Revealed via a debut trailer on December 9 to mark the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077, the game draws heavily on familiar characters, factions, and hardware. While the full ruleset is still under wraps, early peeks at the cards show a strategic loop centered around building a crew of Units around a leading Legend, equipping them with familiar Gear like Mantis Blades and Kiroshi Optics, and grinding out Street Cred by completing Gigs.
Behind the project is a development team stacked with veteran talent from games like Marvel Snap, Duel Masters, and Universus. Weird Co. founders Elliot Cook and Luohan Wei have emphasized a strong commitment to local game stores and community spaces, noting that CD Projekt Red brings valuable design DNA to the table from their history with Gwent. The publishers also confirmed that the physical product is handcrafted without AI generation. Promotional rollouts are already underway, with fans able to secure a promotional Lucyna Kushinada card from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners by signing up through the game's launch oracle page, hinting that the card game will pull widely from across the entire expanded universe.
For a franchise that cemented its modern cultural footprint across video games, Netflix anime tie-ins, and tabletop origins, a physical trading card game feels like a natural evolution. In an era where digital economies and battle passes dominate our daily play loops, there is still massive appetite for physical collections and face to face card nights at local hobby shops. As Weird Co. prepares to share more mechanical details, the success of the Cyberpunk TCG will likely hinge on whether it can capture the high stakes and desperate survival of Night City while delivering a competitive meta that card game veterans actually want to grind.
