The first full trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 dropped today, and if you were hoping Studio Trigger would soften its edges for the second outing, think again. The footage is just as kinetic, neon-soaked and brutal as the original — all jittery animation, cybernetic overload and the kind of violence that lingers long after the credits roll.
This is a fresh 10-episode standalone story set in the same universe as Cyberpunk 2077, so newcomers don’t need a save file or a season-one recap to dive in. The world is the draw here: Night City in all its grimy, capitalist excess, where bodies are upgradeable and loyalty is the most expensive augment money can’t buy.
The collaboration that made the first season a breakout hit is still intact. Studio Trigger handles the animation — that frenetic, expressive style fans fell hard for — while CD Projekt RED keeps the lore and atmosphere anchored to the game that started it all. It’s a pairing that already proved it could turn a video-game adaptation into something that stands entirely on its own.
The original Edgerunners wasn’t just well received; it sent players flooding back into Cyberpunk 2077 and earned a reputation as one of the better game-to-anime translations out there. Expectations for the follow-up are, predictably, sky-high.
What the trailer makes clear:
- A new self-contained narrative — not a direct continuation of David and Lucy’s story, but a fresh cast in the same merciless city
- The signature Trigger energy — exaggerated motion, vivid color and unflinching action
- The Cyberpunk 2077 backbone — CD Projekt RED’s world-building remains front and center
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 arrives on Netflix in Fall 2026. The first trailer is live now, and it’s exactly the dose of chrome-plated chaos the franchise built its name on. Strap in.
