Netflix has released the first substantial trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, confirming the anime's return this fall. The new footage showcases the series' signature vibrant and kinetic action, alongside a cast of characters seemingly destined for tragic fates, suggesting another emotionally charged conclusion.
The trailer features dynamic action sequences reminiscent of the first season. A notable detail is the inclusion of footage styled as 4:3, scanline-affected video captured by a retro-futuristic camcorder, a stylistic choice attributed to the character Roman.
According to the official website synopsis, the season will follow Weak, a former cyberpunk legend now living without chrome and seeking purpose in a world that has moved on. Concurrently, a nomad named D embarks on a revenge quest that will bring her dangerously close to hidden corporate secrets.
The revealed cast also includes Talia, a member of the Maelstrom gang, depicted as a contrast to the more physically imposing male characters. Roman, the young videographer, is also featured. The synopsis implies these characters will be central to the unfolding narrative.
The return of Edgerunners offers a welcome immersion into the Cyberpunk universe while players await CD Projekt Red's next major installment in the franchise. This buildup to Edgerunners 2 has reignited interest in revisiting Cyberpunk 2077, particularly after the Phantom Liberty expansion. There is speculation that CD Projekt Red might release free DLC content to tie into the anime, a practice seen with previous Cyberpunk 2077 content and The Witcher 3.
