Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 Officially Announced by CD Projekt Red
CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 is now in production, surprising fans who initially believed the series would remain a standalone adaptation. This announcement was made during Anime Expo 2025, marking a significant development for the acclaimed anime based on the Cyberpunk universe.
Studio TRIGGER Returns to Animate the New Season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
The Polish developer revealed on its official website that Studio TRIGGER will reprise their role as the animation studio for the upcoming season. The new installment will consist of ten episodes, maintaining the high-quality animation and storytelling that defined the first season. Director Kai Ikarashi will lead the project, with Masahiko Otsuka and Bartosz Sztybor returning as showrunners and writers.
Anticipated Story Direction and Continuity in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2
While the release date remains undisclosed, the creators have clarified that Season 2 will present a “standalone 10-episode story,” separate from the narrative arc of Season 1. This means the new season will not continue David Martinez’s journey but will instead introduce fresh characters and explore untold stories within Night City. The first season served as a prequel to the Cyberpunk game, set about a year prior, and significantly expanded the lore with protagonists like David Martinez and Lucyna “Lucy” Kushinada.
Impact and Legacy of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 1
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has been widely recognized as one of the best TV adaptations of a video game, successfully breaking the trend of poorly received adaptations. Its popularity even influenced the Cyberpunk game itself, with players noticing references to David Martinez in-game following the anime’s success. The upcoming season aims to build upon this legacy by deepening the Cyberpunk universe through new stories and characters.
