Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Is Getting A Second Season, And The Writer Can't Wait To 'Make The Whole World Sad'

NO LOC, JUL 6 – Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will be a standalone 10-episode anime focusing on redemption and revenge, continuing the Cyberpunk 2077 universe with a new cast and story, Netflix confirmed.

  • On July 4, 2025, CD Projekt Red revealed that a new standalone anime series titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is being produced in collaboration with the animation studio Trigger.
  • This announcement followed the unexpected success of the original 2022 Edgerunners anime and a prior late 2024 Netflix Animation tease about returning to Night City.
  • The upcoming season will feature 10 episodes that explore a gritty tale of redemption and revenge, continuing the intense melodramatic style established by the first season and Cyberpunk 2077.
  • On July 6, Cyberpunk 2077 hit a 64,216 peak player count on Steam, gaining about 20,000 players since Edgerunners 2 was announced, reflecting renewed interest in the 2020 RPG.
  • This resurgence suggests that the new anime may further boost Cyberpunk 2077’s player base and extends the franchise’s evolving narrative beyond the original game and anime.
