Studio TRIGGER shocked us with the CYBERPUNK EDGERUNNERS 2 sequel anime announcement earlier today, and the first trailer has now also been revealed. The new anime will be a 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077, earlier described as “a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge”.
It will be directed by Kai Ikarashi, who directed Episode 6 of the original anime titled “Girl on Fire.” Ichigo Kanno is the character designer, while screenplay will be handled by Masahiko Otsuka. It was also previously confirmed that Netflix will be streaming the new series.
Check out the teaser trailer below.
The tagline for the anime is “When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?” and you can see the poster visual below as well.
CD PROJEKT RED (or CDPR) is the company behind the Cyberpunk 2077 video game. Studio TRIGGER also animated the first CYBERPUNK: EDGE RUNNERS anime series, which was released in September 2022 and also had a total of 10 episodes. The franchise recently launched a prequel manga focused on Rebecca and Pilar last December..
The first anime was voted as the Best New Anime of the year in our yearly awards for that year, as well as the Best Original Anime. Netflix is streaming the show, describing its story:
The series tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in Night City — a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he stays alive by becoming an edgerunner — a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.
