One of the best anime series ever made is returning with its second season. It’s none other than Cyberpunk Edgerunners, based on the game Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. The first season aired in September 2022 on Netflix and was a huge success. Although fans were not expecting a second season of this unique anime, an announcement teaser was shown at Anime Expo 2025, revealing it as a standalone season. Let’s explore everything we know so far about Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 below.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2
At Anime Expo 2025, over 30 major announcements were made, including Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2, along with updates on Jujutsu Kaisen, Re: ZERO Season 4, Project M, and more. Like Season 1, Season 2 will also have 10 episodes and will premiere on Netflix. It is being developed through a collaboration between CD Projekt Red and animation studio Trigger, known for Promare, Delicious in Dungeon, Gridman the Hyper Agent: SSSS, and others.
Since this is a standalone season, one of the main characters from Season 1, David Martinez, is deceased, and the story will focus on new characters in Night City. It’s a story of redemption and revenge, as the teaser shows previous cast members dying in intense and emotional scenes. “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?”
Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 will be directed by Kai Ikarashi, with returning team members Masahiko Otsuka and Bartosz Stybor serving as showrunners, writers, and producers. The lead character designer is Kanno Ichigo.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners
Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 is already creating excitement among fans. If you haven’t seen Season 1 yet, now is the perfect time to catch up. The show is based on the popular video game Cyberpunk 2077 and vividly brings its high-tech, futuristic world to life with emotion. With compelling action, deep storytelling, and strong characters, Season 1 made a significant impact. Season 2 promises more drama and sci-fi excitement.
It’s a great time for Cyberpunk fans as a new anime season is on the way, and the game continues to get updates. Despite the December 2024 update announced as the last, a new Patch 2.3 will be released soon.
The game allows players to explore and craft their own story, while the anime offers a powerful standalone narrative featuring new characters. Both share the same universe, visual style, and themes like technology, corruption, and survival, delivering different but related experiences in the Cyberpunk universe.
