CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Loremaster Confirms Year Edgerunners 2 Is Set, Sparking Fan Speculation About Canon Endings

CD Projekt Red's loremaster, Patrick Mills, has confirmed that the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 is set in 2078, following the events of Cyberpunk 2077. This revelation has sparked fan speculation about the implications for the game's endings. According to Mills, the anime takes place just a year after the game's conclusion, when players meet Hanako at Embers.

While some fans believe this means certain endings are canon, others think it suggests they are not. It's important to note that the anime doesn't force CD Projekt to make a decision about canon endings, similar to Bethesda's approach in the Amazon TV show set in the Fallout universe. The Cyberpunk universe is set to expand further with the in-development Cyberpunk 2 and a live-action film in the works, although the film will not retell the game's story.

In the meantime, Cyberpunk 2077 players can look forward to a surprise Edgerunners 2-themed update this week, featuring cyberware customization and a new dual-wielding playstyle.
