Night City โGets a scare: โขnew Cyberpunk Comicโ “chrome” โBlends Sci-Fi with Horror
A new chapter โin theโข Cyberpunk 2077 universe is on the horizon with cyberpunk 2077: Chrome,a four-issueโ comic series from Dark Horse Comics.This latest addition to the officially โขcanon storyline promises a chilling departure from previous installments, injecting classic horror elements into the gritty, futuristic world of Night โCity.
The story โคfollows a photoshootโ crew venturing into a notoriously dangerous landfill – a location already steepedโข in local โlegend as being haunted.โค Though, โฃthey’re about to โdiscover that the threats lurking within Night City are far more terrifying than any โghost story. The creative team emphasizes a focus on genuine scares and โฃsupernatural โelements, moving away from the typical violence driven by economic motives oftenโ seen inโฃ cyberpunk narratives.
Dark Horse Comics has forged a strong partnership โwith CD Projekt Red,โ ensuring all published Cyberpunk โฃcomics contribute to the game’s established โlore. Previous series,โ like Cyberpunk โข2077: โฃXOXO, have successfully expanded theโฃ Night City setting while โคmaintaining core cyberpunk themes, exploring gang conflicts and โeven incorporating shakespeareanโค romance. chrome, however,โ distinguishes itself by embracing slasher movie conventions within โthe sci-fiโ landscape.
The landfill setting itself โis integral to the horror narrative, leveraging โฃthe decaying urban aesthetic โthat defines Night โฃCity. It’sโข a location rumored to โharbor supernatural threats, pushing the protagonists to their limits.
Cyberpunk 2077: chrome #1 willโ be availableโ for pre-order at local comic book stores starting this Friday, September 26th. It will also be accessible โคthrough conventional comicโข distribution channels and the Dark Horse Digital Comics platform. Following the January โ2026โ launch, the โseries will continue with three subsequentโ issues. Dark Horse โฃcomics plansโข to release a collected โedition containingโฃ all four โissues in โฃa single volume upon completion โคof the run.
This release is part ofโ a broader expansion of Cyberpunk content from Dark Horse, including the โคupcoming February 2026 release โขofโ Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Madness Volume 1 in paperback. Chrome aims to appealโ to both dedicated Cyberpunk fans and readers seeking a unique blendโ of horror and science fiction. The limited four-issue format offers a complete storyโ arc,โ making it accessible to newcomers unfamiliar with โฃthe wider Cyberpunk universe.
