Online Multiplayer Cyberpunk 2.5D Brawler Spin-Off Based on Edgerunners May Be in Development

It was recently reported by MP1st that CD Projekt Red may be working with WayForward, the developer behind the 2.5D game series Shantae and RWBY: Arrowfell, on a new 2.5D brawler based in the Cyberpunk universe. The publication alleges that it has seen the portfolio of an unnamed former WayForward developer, who claims to have been working on the 2.5D brawler between 2025 end 2026.

The project is known internally as Gemini, and it would be based on the Cyberpunk Edgerunners TV series that has gained popularity on Netflix since its 2022 debut. It's currently unclear if the game is still in development or if it even made it out of the research and development phase, but the portfolio hinted that it was a brawler being designed as an online, multiplayer beat-'em-up game with rollback-safe architecture and online transport integration. The project even got so far as having its own Cyberpunk Edgerunners Gemini banner, which was included in the aforementioned portfolio.
