CD PROJEKT RED is taking Night City from screens to tabletops. The studio and partner WeirdCo launched the official Kickstarter campaign for Cyberpunk Trading Card Game, the franchise's first physical TCG. The project brings the gritty, neon-soaked world of Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners into competitive card play, letting fans build edgerunner crews, clash in high-stakes battles, and collect stunning custom artwork.
The debut set, Welcome to Night City, centers on iconic characters from the 2020 game. Players can assemble decks featuring V, the customizable mercenary at the heart of the story, Jackie Welles the loyal choom, the legendary rockerboy Johnny Silverhand (voiced by Keanu Reeves in the game), and braindance expert Judy Álvarez. These heroes and anti-heroes come to life through detailed, franchise-inspired illustrations that capture the cyberpunk aesthetic: chrome implants, holographic ads, and the ever-present danger of the streets.
Gameplay for the TCG focuses on strategic crew-building. Players recruit characters, equip them with cyberware and weapons, and pit their teams against opponents in matches that simulate the high-risk jobs and betrayals of Night City life. The rules blend familiar TCG elements with unique twists drawn from the Cyberpunk universe, such as quickhacks, netrunning, and reputation mechanics that reward bold plays and clever combos. It is designed to appeal to both seasoned card players looking for fresh depth and casual fans who want to collect their favorite characters.
A second set already in the pipeline will fully introduce the cast of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the acclaimed Netflix anime co-created by CD PROJEKT RED and Studio TRIGGER. That expansion promises to add characters like David Martinez, Lucy, Rebecca, and Maine, along with new mechanics tied to the anime's high-octane action and emotional stakes. The campaign page teases that backers will help shape some of these future additions through community feedback and updates.
The Kickstarter is live now and runs for the standard 30-day window, with WeirdCo promising regular development posts, art reveals, and stretch goals that could unlock additional cards, playmats, or exclusive promos. Early bird tiers and limited-edition rewards are available for supporters who pledge soon. Backers can secure booster boxes, starter decks, premium sleeves, and collector bundles, many with extras not planned for standard retail release later in 2026.
This move into physical TCGs feels like an interesting move for the Cyberpunk franchise. Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 35 million copies since launch, with its 2023 expansion Phantom Liberty adding another 10 million. The game drew widespread praise for its narrative depth, player choice, and immersive open world after post-launch updates addressed early issues. Edgerunners further expanded the universe, earning critical acclaim and introducing a new generation to Night City's dangers. Bringing these stories to a collectible card format lets fans engage with the lore in a new way, trading cards, building decks, and competing at local game stores or online.
WeirdCo, known for creative tabletop projects, is handling development in close collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED to ensure authenticity. The team emphasizes that the game will stand on its own mechanically while staying true to the source material's tone: mature, stylish, and unforgiving.
For longtime fans, this is a chance to own physical representations of beloved characters and moments. For TCG players, it offers a fresh entry with strong thematic flavor and replayability. For scalpers, it's another TCG to ruin the fun for a few bucks of profit. The campaign's success could pave the way for regular expansions, tournament support, and deeper integration with the Cyberpunk ecosystem.
Head to Kickstarter to back the project and check the full reward tiers. With the Welcome to Night City set slated for release later in 2026, now is the time to secure your spot in Night City's growing legend. Choom, the streets are calling. Will you be joining the party?
