It’s been almost two years since Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the anime miniseries set in the universe of Mike Pondsmith’s sci-fi tabletop RPG franchise, premiered on Netflix and hacked its way into the hearts of fans worldwide. If you’re still bummed there’s still no plans for a second season, cheer up: R. Talsorian Games, the publisher behind the Cyberpunk TTRPG, announced a new box set for the game inspired by both the anime on Tuesday.

Created in conjunction with CD Projekt Red, the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Mission Kit is a starter kit for the tabletop game intended as a love letter to fans of both the anime and Cyberpunk 2077, featuring all new maps of Night City, standees featuring new maps, standees, and Cyberpunk Edgerunners-themed dice.

Comprised of three books totalling at 120 pages, the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Mission Kit includes instructions on how to play for first-time players, a timeline of the Cyberpunk universe leading up to the events of Cyberpunk 2077, as well as new lore and official backgrounds for David Martinez, Lucy Kushinada, and the rest of the protagonists of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. As if that weren’t enough, the kit also features seven new pregenerated characters for players to choose from with artwork designed by Cyberpunk: Edgerunners director Hiroyuki Imaishi.

R. Talsorian Games announced that the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Mission Kit will cost $35 USD when it’s released in mid-to-late June.
