Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Many locations from the "Cyberpunk 2077" game appear in the anime, including the Afterlife bar, Lizzie's Bar, and Tom's Diner. David's apartment also has a layout nearly identical to V's starting apartment in the game.
These faithful recreations serve to deeply connect the anime to the game's world, making Night City feel like a consistent, lived-in universe. For players of the game, it's a series of rewarding nods to familiar locales.
Minor characters from the game make cameo appearances, such as the Afterlife's owner Rogue and bartender Claire Russell, as well as the fixer Wakako Okada.
These cameos reinforce the idea that the anime's story is happening within the same world and timeline as the game, just prior to its main events. They help to flesh out the ecosystem of Night City's underworld.
In the "Cyberpunk 2077" game (after a patch inspired by the anime), players can find David Martinez's iconic yellow jacket and a drink named "The David Martinez" can be ordered at the Afterlife bar.
This is an example of the anime's success directly influencing the game's content. It canonizes David's status as a Night City legend within the game's lore, allowing players to pay tribute to the character.
Adam Smasher, the final antagonist of the anime, is a major, legendary antagonist in the "Cyberpunk 2077" game and the original tabletop RPG.
His appearance serves as a terrifying bridge between the show and the game. For game players, his arrival signals an unwinnable fight for David, as they are already aware of Smasher's immense power and plot armor. It solidifies the anime's tragic trajectory.
The Delamain taxi service, a key feature in a major side quest in "Cyberpunk 2077," makes an appearance to transport David's crew.
This is another direct reference to the game, showcasing one of the more memorable and distinct elements of Night City's technology and daily life, further integrating the anime into the established world.
