Get Ready for More Cyberpunk Adventures: Edgerunners Season 2 Is Set to Launch This Fall!

Great news for all you Cyberpunk fans out there! After a four-year wait, Netflix has finally revealed that the much-anticipated second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is hitting our screens this fall. Yes, you heard it right! The anime, which is a wild adaptation of Mike Pondsmith’s tabletop universe and the acclaimed 2020 RPG by CD Projekt, is getting ready to continue its thrilling story.

It’s hard to believe that a whole year has flown by since the announcement of Season 2, but Netflix is now ramping up the marketing for this exciting follow-up. This season will take a fresh approach by introducing a brand new cast of characters, diving into their lives and adventures after the events of the first season.

The popularity of the first season played a huge role in reshaping the perception of Cyberpunk 2077. Before the game underwent its significant 2.0 update in 2023, the positive vibes surrounding Edgerunners encouraged players to give the game another shot. It seems the influence of anime can sometimes overshadow the infamous bugs and frame rate issues that plagued the game at launch!

As for the timeline of this new storyline, we’re all curious about where it fits into the broader Cyberpunk universe. While I’m not entirely up to speed with the latest from R. Talsorian Games, it looks like this could be the first narrative set after the events of Cyberpunk 2077. The Phantom Liberty expansion runs parallel to the main game, but it has a potential ending that stretches far into the future.

For reference, the first season of Edgerunners took place prior to the events of Cyberpunk 2077 and even found its way into in-game references. It’s possible that Season 2 might serve as a prequel or even an interquel of sorts.

Meanwhile, CD Projekt seems to be focusing heavily on the Witcher franchise for now, with The Witcher 4 on the horizon. So, don’t hold your breath for Cyberpunk 2 any time before 2030!
