CD Projekt Red has expressed gratitude to approximately 6,000 fans who attended an advance screening of the first episode of "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2" at LA's Crypto.com Arena during Anime Expo 2026. The developer noted the attendees' adherence to a request not to spoil the highly anticipated new season, a rarity in today's environment of immediate online sharing.
Satoru Homma, CD Projekt Red's Japanese associate country director, shared on Twitter that the initial episode, which was streamed at the event, had not leaked online. He stated, "Thank you so much for keeping your promise properly." This sentiment was echoed by Radek Grabowski, CD Projekt Red's global PR director, who added, "We really appreciate everyone’s understanding and for helping us keep the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 episode one screening at Anime Expo spoiler-free by not recording any footage." Both expressed a desire for fans to experience the season together upon its official launch this fall.
The original "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" anime, produced by Studio Trigger, was a significant success, paralleling the reception of the game it was based on. The prospect of even unofficial, low-quality recordings of the new season's debut episode would typically be highly sought after. The apparent lack of leaks suggests a notable level of restraint from the convention attendees.
Fans awaiting the full season of "Edgerunners 2" will have to wait until the fall. Early previews of the show, including its first trailer and story and character details, have generated anticipation among followers of the Cyberpunk universe.
