Story writer and producer Bartosz Sztybor, voice actors Emi Lo (Lucy Kushinada) and Zach Aguilar (David Martinez), and host Joey "The Anime Man" Bizinger were joined by a special guest, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners director Hiroyuki Imaishi. After a spirited discussion about how the franchise came together, Sztybor announced that a new collaboration between CD Projekt Red and animation studio Trigger was currently in production: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2.

Set within the world of "Cyberpunk 2077," the ten-episode standalone story is described as a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter? Joining the team are lead character designer Kanno Ichigo (Promare, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners) and Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren Lagann, Promare), who will be responsible for adapting the screenplay.

"David's story might be over, but there's plenty more to discover in Night City. And to again have the legendary animation studio Trigger along for the ride makes us at CD Projekt Red so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we've done before," shared Sztybor, showrunner, story writer, and producer on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. Now, you can check out the first official teaser for the upcoming animated series (waiting for you above), with more details and intel coming soon.
