Cyberpunk 2077 was the most awaited game in recent years. Fans had high hopes for the game as CD Projekt RED developed it, the same creators who made The Witcher series. Moreover, the game featured John Wick and Matrix star Keanu Reeves, which further hyped the game. But the game failed to meet that excitement.

The developers fixed the bugs with updates and DLCs. But the game had already lost its hype among the fans. However, after going away from everyone’s minds, the game again resurfaced recently. CD Project RED joined hands with Netflix to create an anime series, Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
The anime series turned out to be a significant hit. Fans loved the Netflix show for its animation, plot, character development, and world-building. But the anime also helped the drowning Cyberpunk 2077 not just to float but start flying. The amount of active players every day proves the hype of this game among fans now.
