《Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2》 is a 10-episode standalone animated series created by CD PROJEKT RED and TRIGGER, returning to the Night City of 《Cyberpunk 2077》. Released in June 2026, the teaser previewed a story centered on new characters and a harsher visual style rather than a continuation of the previous series. The series premiered on Netflix on October 20, 2026. Kai Ikarashi serves as director, Ichigo Kanno as lead character designer, and Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka contributed to the story development.

Week Without Chrome

In the official premise, Wiek was once a veteran edgerunner known as ‘King,’ but now lives without chrome, the cybernetic body modifications, searching for purpose in a city that no longer needs him. On the other side is D, a netrunner from the Snake Nation. D’s revenge, as he hunts the person who slaughtered his clan, brings him closer to a hidden corporate secret. The two characters’ different starting points form an axis that prevents life in Night City from being reduced to revenge and survival alone.

A City Recorded by Roman

The new character Roman seeks ‘real stories’ and attempts to record other people’s lives in a city where film has been replaced by braindance. The official synopsis describes the series as a story about family, obsession, legacy, and the politics of looking. In other words, while presenting a new crew of mercenaries, it also places the relationship between the person recording and the person being recorded at its center, distinguishing it from the previous series.

The Same City, a Separate 10-Episode Story

The story shares the same universe as the previous series, but it is an independent structure that concludes with new characters rather than a direct sequel carrying over the existing cast. Instead of taking the previous ending as its premise, it focuses on new events in which each character’s dreams, regrets, and revenge become entangled in Night City.
