Cyberpunk Red opens pre-orders for its latest expansion, the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit, which includes a variety of quality-of-life improvements to the pen-and-paper RPG.
The latest expansion was reportedly inspired by the popular anime of the same name and is scheduled to launch on June 24, 2024.
Fans who are looking to get their hands on it can reserve their copy now for either a $14.99 PDF from DriveThruRPG or Roll20 digital kit, or a $34.99 physical release pre-order from R. Talsorian Games.

The Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit includes the Edgerunners Handbook, which is a lore book that details the history of Night City. It also includes the biographies of the original Edgerunner crew from the anime.
Players who get their hands on the expansion will also find an abridged Rulebook and a quickstart guide on top of The Jacket, which is a one-shot adventure. The latter was designed to get your crew right into the action, according to Polygon.
Both versions of the upcoming Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit expansion will include everything that players need to get started.
These include tokens and maps but the physical version also includes a collection of six Edgerunners-themed dice. They also have printed standees, maps, and tokens to supplement gameplay.
While the Edgerunners rulebook already contains everything that players need to make their own characters, the new Mission also features a collection of seven eclectic, pre-generated Edgerunners.
These come with full illustrations made by Hiroyuki Imaishi, the director of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime.

For those who are not yet familiar with Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk franchise, the Edgerunners Mission Kit has everything you need to get caught up.
However, if you would rather have a more thorough introduction to the series, the core rulebook for Cyberpunk Red is also available as a PDF or hardcover purchase.
The latest expansion also updates the tabletop RPG to be a little bit more in line with the world of Cyberpunk 2077. It also ties into the heartbreaking storyline of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, said BellofLostSouls.
A Brand New Mission
The anime that the latest expansion is based on tells the tragic tale of David Martinez and life and death in Night City. The show also captures the feel of Cyberpunk 2077 much better than the video did.
The latest expansion also comes as Cyberpunk Edgerunners has already been out for nearly two years now. In the Mission Kit's The Jacket quest, players will have to "recover some stolen iconic gear."
Between the official synopsis and the mission's title, it seems that the new expansion will require players to retrieve Martinez's yellow EMY jacket that was seen in the anime. Fans expect that as they embark on the new journey, they will learn more about the character's fate post-series and about his friends.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners' epilogue is relatively significant as it has been a long time coming and while Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way since its launch, many players still remember its troubled beginnings with various bugs and issues, according to Comicbook.
