Upcoming

No need to run R&D to see what we’re cooking up. Here are the current projects in the Netrunner pipeline.

Any set names wrapped in quotation marks are design codenames. They don’t necessarily have anything to do with the content of the set, and they’ll be replaced with more appropriate names closer to release.

For details on what stage in production each upcoming set is, please visit our Product Status Page.

The Liberation Cycle

The Liberation Cycle is Null Signal Games’ third full cycle of Netrunner expansions. The first set, The Automata Initiative, is scheduled to release in Q3 2023. The design codename for this cycle was “Bell-Tower” until its official title announcement.
