"The lines between redemption and revenge will blur", promises Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2's latest trailer as the series locks in a late October release

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the sequel to the popular anime series, is set to premiere on October 20th. The series continues to explore the world of Night City, originally created for the video game Cyberpunk 2077.

The first character, Weak Kingsley, is a veteran edgerunner struggling with his past and living without cyberware. He assists chromed-up Talia Yang, a nomad netrunner trying to escape the corporate lifestyle. Meanwhile, D, a nomad netrunner, meets Roman Carax, a young netrunner with a camera, in a fire-stricken clan. As the four characters navigate their respective journeys, they engage in intense confrontations and share unsettling discussions about D's unique situation as a "weapon made out of people."
