WeirdCo and CD Projekt Red have launched the official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game on Kickstarter, and the response has been nothing short of Night City-level chaos. The campaign smashed its $100,000 goal in just five minutes and has since soared to $7.5 million, making it the most-funded trading card game in Kickstarter history.
The first set, Welcome to Night City, is set to release later this year. It features fan-favorite characters like V, Jackie Welles, Johnny Silverhand, and Judy Álvarez. Players can craft competitive decks or collect iconic cards, with a second set planned to introduce characters from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Why this matters for TCG and Cyberpunk fans
Whether you’re a collector or a competitive player, this Kickstarter is your gateway to exclusive cards and early access. Pledges start at $49 for two starter decks, while higher tiers unlock limited-edition card art and Beta-only items. Thanks to the campaign’s explosive success, a slew of stretch goals have been unlocked-like the Legend Pack Upgrade: Johnny Silverhand at $8.5 million, custom card sleeves at $9 million, and the Legend Pack Upgrade: Saburo Arasaka at $9.5 million.
Once the campaign hits $10 million, all backers-from Common Cyberdecks to Night City Legend tiers-will receive a Kickstarter-exclusive Nova Rare Rebecca: Having a Moment card plus an extra Legend Pack in the Beta Box. These items won’t be available outside the campaign, so the FOMO is real.
Stretch goals outpace the designers
The WeirdCo team admits the community is blowing past stretch goals faster than they can announce them. As they put it: “You gonks are crazy. We already broke our $3m stretch goal! You’re blowing past these goals before we can ever release them – THANK YOU!”
With momentum like this, expect even more rewards and upgrades. Rumor has it additional exclusive cards and collector’s items are on the horizon if funding keeps climbing.
What’s in it for backers?
- Early access to the physical Cyberpunk TCG-the franchise’s first.
- Exclusive Beta cards and artwork unavailable at retail.
- A chance to influence the game’s future through community feedback.
The TCG draws from the world of Cyberpunk 2077 and the original pen-and-paper system by Mike Pondsmith. With CD Projekt Red confirming no new DLC for Cyberpunk 2077, this card game is shaping up to be the next big thing for fans.
If you want in on the ground floor-and a shot at those exclusive cards-now’s the time to pledge. Night City waits for no one.
