The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed anime series “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” has been confirmed, and fans have finally gotten a glimpse of what’s to come with the release of its first trailer. The original “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,” produced by Studio Trigger, offered a fresh narrative set within the world of CD Projekt RED’s game “Cyberpunk 2077.” The first season concluded with a self-contained story and definitive character endings, leaving some uncertainty about whether there would be more. However, fans can now rest easy knowing that a new anime is on the horizon.
During a special event at Anime Expo 2025 (where ComicBook was present), we have news about a fresh anime series titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. This new story, set in the expansive universe of Cyberpunk 2077, introduces brand new characters and promises a distinctly different feel compared to the first season. Studio Trigger has already released the first trailer, which you can watch below for a glimpse into this upcoming change.
What to Know for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2
As of now, no specific launch date or timeframe has been revealed for “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2”, but it’s expected to be a ten-episode standalone tale set within the universe of “Cyberpunk 2077”. Initial glimpses from Trigger Studios have hinted at a narrative centered around “redemption and revenge”, with an intriguing tagline, “In a world dazzled by spectacle, what lengths will you go to make your story matter?” However, for fans anticipating the reappearance of David’s character from the initial season, series writer Bartosz Sztybor confirmed during Anime Expo 2025 that David meets his end in the first season.
In a fresh take, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is delving deeper into its characters, but ahead of Anime Expo 2025, the franchise has unveiled some unexpected reunions. The excitement mounts as Lucy is set to reappear on our screens in a brand new DLC role for the fighting game Guilty Gear Strive. Additionally, Rebecca’s tale expands with a special prequel, offering insights into her story that the original anime didn’t have the chance to cover. Given Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ triumphant reception, fans are eagerly awaiting what the upcoming series has in store. In the meantime, you can revisit the anime on Netflix where it is currently streaming.
