Hold your breath, Cyberpunk fans and horror lovers! Dark Horse Comics just dropped the BIG news – Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome is hitting comic shelves in January 2026! This isn’t just any comic; it’s a four-issue limited series and the 13th official Cyberpunk comic from the publisher, revealed first on the Blue Sky social platform. Mark January 14, 2026, on your calendars because that’s when the first exciting issue arrives. Three more thrilling issues will follow, making it a whole year of spooky storytelling! But what makes Chrome super special? It’s the very first slasher story inside the neon-lit world of Cyberpunk 2077! The creative brains behind this eerie ride are Doug Wagner and Tommaso Bennato, with stunning colors by Rico Renzi and sharp lettering from Frank Cvetkovic. Unlike the usual tales of corporate spying and street wars in Night City, Chrome dives head-first into horror, chilling you with supernatural scares and tangible fear. What’s the story? A tight-knit group of friends – a netrunner, a fiery graffiti artist, a hopeful rockerboy, and an autotechie – grab their cameras for a fun shoot at a creepy landfill filled with heaps of trash and metal scraps. Rumors whisper that the place is haunted. But in Night City, their terror turns out to be far beyond ghost stories! As the creative team put it, "They'll find a shot to die for! Rumor has it the place is haunted, and they're about to find out that in Night City, there are things far more frightening than ghosts." Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome isn’t just another comic—it's expanding the Cyberpunk universe, officially part of the game’s lore. Dark Horse is not new to this partnership with CD Projekt Red; earlier comics like Cyberpunk 2077: XOXO explored gangs and romance with classic cyberpunk flair. But with Chrome, the atmosphere is darker, and horror takes the driver's seat. Forget the usual fights over power and money; here, supernatural menace and classic slasher thrills set the pace. Picture Night City's decayed lands turning into a scary playground where survival is uncertain. The Chrome series beautifully blends sci-fi and horror vibes, luring both Cyberpunk fans and horror comic lovers into a wild new world. The four-issue format promises a complete, tight story that’s easy to enjoy—even if you’re new to the Cyberpunk saga. Good news for collectors and binge-readers too: after all issues release, expect a collected edition to dive into one go. And if you’re eager to snag the first issue early, pre-orders start September 26 at your local comic shop and via the Dark Horse Digital Comics platform. Also, keep an eye out for more Cyberpunk stories from Dark Horse, like the upcoming Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Madness Volume 1 paperback set for February 2026. So, Night City fans, prepare for a fresh blast of thrills, chills, and cybernetic kills with Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome – where horror and cyberpunk collide like never before!
