Netflix has greenlit another Cyberpunk anime, and confirmed several new game adaptations

Netflix has had a decent amount of success with its animated videogame adaptations so far. The Castlevania series stands out as a highlight, but we've also seen excellent collaborations with companies like CD Projekt Red and Riot to produce shows like Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Arcane. The next wave of animated shows are now on the way, with Netflix focusing on classics like Splinter Cell, Devil May Cry and Tomb Raider. 

During Netflix's Geeked Week event, four trailers were shown that will capture the interest of gamers. For starters, there is a new Splinter Cell animated series on the way, titled Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, but the series does not yet have a release date.

The next trailer on the list is for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, which actually does have a release date – October 10th. Unlike the reboot trilogy of games from Crystal Dynamics, the series won't focus on the early days of Lara Croft turning into a daredevil adventurer, instead opting for a more seasoned version of the character, akin to the classic Tomb Raider games.

While Capcom and Netflix announced plans for a Devil May Cry series quite some time ago, it is only just returning to the spotlight now. Produced by Adi Shankar, the same producer responsible for the Castlevania show, Devil May Cry will follow Dante, with action scenes that appear to be inspired by classic anime like Trigun. The Devil May Cry series comes to Netflix in April 2025.

The final trailer on our list today is a very quick teaser. Netflix has renewed its collaboration with legendary anime studio, Studio TRIGGER, and CD Projekt Red to produce a new Cyberpunk anime.

It is unclear if this new series will carry the ‘Edgerunners' name, or shift to a new title to separate it from the original series, as Edgerunners did tell a complete, succinct story in its one season. As we've had little more than a logo from this teaser, it is safe to assume that it will be at least a couple of years until it is ready for us all to watch.
