CD Projekt Announces Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Anime for Netflix With Logo and Poster Art

CD Projekt has announced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a new Netflix anime series set in the world of its Cyberpunk 2077 video game.

The developer has reunited with studio Trigger, which created the first Edgerunners anime, for this follow-up, with Kai Ikarashi confirmed as director. Writer Bartosz Sztybor is showrunner, story writer, and producer.

There’s no trailer yet, but we do have a logo and poster art for Edgerunners 2, below. Expect a standalone 10-episode story described as “a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.”

Here’s the official blurb: “when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?”

“David’s story might be over, but there’s plenty more to discover in Night City,” Sztybor said. “And to again have the legendary animation studio Trigger along for the ride makes us at CD Projekt Red so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we’ve done before.”

Kanno Ichigo (Promare, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners) is lead character designer, and Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren Lagann, Promare) is handling the screenplay adaptation.

Confirmation of Edgerunners 2 comes as little surprise given the success of the first season and last year's announcement from Netflix Animation that it had signed another collaboration with CD Projekt in the Cyberpunk universe with the teaser, below.

Edgerunners debuted in September 2022 to acclaim from fans and critics alike. It even helped fuel more interest in Cyberpunk 2077, and fans called for a second season.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 as the title as opposed to Edgerunners Season 2 makes sense, too, given the original didn't exactly leave itself open for a story continuation. IGN’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners review returned a 9/10. We said: “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners delivers a satisfying return to Night City that does a better job exploring why Mike Pondsmith’s famous location became so iconic in the first place.”

It’s a busy time in the world of Cyberpunk, with Cyberpunk 2 officially in pre-production. 96 of CD Projekt’s 730 developers were working on the sequel as of May. The majority of the staff (422) is working on The Witcher 4, which is in full production.

We know next to nothing about Cyberpunk 2, but Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith has teased some previously unknown details.
