There Is a God! Netflix Is Bringing Us More Cyberpunk Anime | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Cyberpunk Edgerunners is extraordinary. If you haven’t watched Netflix’s anime adaptation yet, you should rectify that immediately; it’s wonderfully animated and extremely dark – as you’d perhaps expect from a series inspired by CD Projekt RED’s dystopian sandbox game. Now, in the aftermath of Netflix Geeked, there’s word of a “return to Night City”, with more information coming soon.

Up and over the edge

Jackpot

While this doesn’t explicitly confirm a second season of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which was originally intended as a standalone storyline, the success of the series does suggest we may get something similar – even if it perhaps features a new cast of characters. It’s worth noting there’s no Studio Trigger logo in the short trailer, which was the Japanese animation studio behind the original anime.

Either way, we’re excited to see what emerges here. Cyberpunk 2077 has gone from strength to strength on PS5, following its disastrous launch on last-gen hardware. With its Phantom Liberty expansion, we’d whole-heartedly recommend playing the RPG – and it’ll be great to have a new anime to look forward to, even if Cyberpunk Edgerunners may be impossible to top.

Probably not more Edgerunners, but still great news. Netflix is supposedly working on a live action Cyberpunk series as well, but I'm not sure where that's at in development.

Edgerunners was miles better than the game itself. But if the next series isn't an anime hy Japanese studio, then there is no hope at all.

I'm not against another studio creating their own tale in that world. But a high bar has been set for whomever they are, edgerunners was a classic.

Two requirements:
