- The series will stream exclusively on Netflix and will release all 10 episodes at once rather than weekly.
- Studio TRIGGER and CD PROJEKT RED return as producers with Kai Ikarashi directing, Bartosz Sztybor as showrunner, Masahiko Otsuka writing, and Ichigo Kanno on character design.
- The announced principal cast includes Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax and Talia Yang with named Japanese and English voice actors revealed in the trailer materials.
