Nearly a year after its debut teaser trailer, Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners 2, the long-awaited sequel to the popular anime spin-off of Cyberpunk 2077, has uploaded a new trailer showing fans what the show will look like, while confirming that it will air exclusively on Netflix during Fall 2026.
Much like its predecessor, Edgerunners 2 will be a self-contained story set within the world of Cyberpunk 2077 that will last for 10 episodes.
The YouTube video’s description says that the story will be “a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?”
Windows Central’s take
While I personally haven’t seen the original Edgerunners anime (which I seriously need to fix in the future once my current Warhammer 40,000 obsession is over), even I can tell this show left a huge impact that is still being felt 4 years later.
People fell in love with Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners for its gripping story, intriguing characters, and bombastic animation and art direction that only Studio Trigger, the studio behind the show, can provide.
It attracted a whole new audience to the Cyberpunk 2077 video game during its rough early days and even convinced people who didn’t like it at first to give it a second chance.
It even inspired CD Projekt Red when it was making the game-changing DLC, Phantom Liberty, to incorporate some of the anime’s portrayal of Cyberpunk 2077’s combat into the base game to make it feel faster-paced and have enemies be more threatening.
Judging from the look of this trailer, it looks like Edgerunners 2 is going to be even more gritty, crazy, and violent than the first Edgerunners, and I have no doubt fans can’t wait to see when it goes live this Fall on Netflix.
What do you think of Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners 2? Are you looking forward to watching it when it comes out on Netflix? Does it make you want to watch the first Edgerunners or play the Cyberpunk 2077 videogame?
