Four years after the release of its first season, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has revealed its season two trailer, with this next season’s title as Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. The anime is one of Netflix’s highest-rated series ever, with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. On June 29, fans saw, for the first time, the cast of characters of the second season, and have already started making speculations.
Edgerunners is an anime based on the video game Cyberpunk 2077, set in a futuristic world full of cyborgs. Season one followed David Martinez, who was a student before becoming a cyborg mercenary.
A Street Kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.
Now, season two introduces an entirely new group of characters to follow. The trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 tells us almost nothing about them, only made up of colorful, bloody, action-filled clips set to a nu-metal-esque song.
When Cyberpunk 2077 came out in 2020, it was met with a wave of negative audience ratings. After a long wait for what seemed to be a great game premise, the game’s quality left users upset. The player experience was… not good. Bugs ran rampant, and the developers had not had the time to perfect the mechanics.
According to Jade King from The Gamer, CD PROJEKT RED “rushed [it] out in unfinished form after several delays to appease shareholders,” despite protests from stressed game developers.
Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure RPG set in the dark future of Night City — a dangerous megalopolis obsessed with power, glamor, and ceaseless body modification.
However, the game had its redemption arc. Developers fixed in-game bugs, resolved the constant crashes, and perhaps the largest part of the shift was the release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, an anime based on the game.
If the show follows the style of the trailer, a large portion of it may be from the perspective of a camcorder, held by an unnamed kid silently documenting the bloody events around him. However, that style could have definitely just been used to up the cool, retro vibe of the trailer. Despite being set in the future, the show does have a distinctly 90s/early 2000s style.
And man, did season one scar the audience. Spoiler: most of the top comments on the new trailer allude to characters’ tragic ends in the first season. Here are some of my favorites:
- “Can’t wait to get emotionally attached to new characters just so Night City can delete them like a corrupted save file.” @RoninPirate
- “I’m sure this crew will meet a very happy ending.” @clydecash7124
- “The VICTIM CAST of season 2 looks amazing” @deepakdolwani9466
So, to say the least, fans think they know how the season will end. But nobody knows, because the trailer itself is certainly vague.
The season has no specific release date, but the trailer says it will be coming to Netflix this Fall.
