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.
