An anime from the Kill la Kill<\/em> crew, based on the video game from CD Projekt Red, adapted from Mike Pondsmith\u2019s \u201880s tabletop game. 2022\u2019s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/em> was designed to be a one-off prequel for the blockbuster role-playing game, but as the popularity of the animated series began to nip at that of the source material\u2019s, demands for a follow-up mounted. Now fans won\u2019t need to wait much longer, as they\u2019ll be reentering Night City on Netflix this Fall.<\/p>\n

Handled by fan favorites Studio Trigger, Edgerunners<\/em> was a hyperviolent, overstimulating love story between David and Lucy, the latter of which\u2019s insane mercenary friends spark a heap of trouble. Envisioned as a stand-alone miniseries, a sequel was announced last year at Anime Expo<\/a>, Edgerunners 2<\/em>. The upcoming 10-episode series follows a new roster of cybernetic outcasts. It is also described as having a darker, grimier tone than the bubblegum original, which may stem from an older, more downtrodden hero aptly named \u2018Weak,\u2019<\/a> who looks like Batou took Columbo\u2019s jacket by mistake. Information about the anticipated show was divulged at this year\u2019s Annecy animation festival in France.<\/p>\n

Netflix has saturated itself with video game adaptations of Devil May Cry<\/em> and Castlevania<\/em>, and after Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>\u2019s hype cycle nearly consumed itself the immense popularity of this particular animated one-off caught all parties off guard. It became one of the crown jewels of Netflix\u2019s video game campaign alongside CD Projekt\u2019s other darling The Witcher<\/em> and League of Legend<\/em>\u2019s Arcane<\/em>. Edgerunners<\/em>\u2019 story also outgrew the mini-series, branching into a spin-off manga of its own, as well as crossovers with Guilty Gear -Strive-<\/a><\/em> and Wuthering Waves<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A full trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2<\/em> will drop this week, with the full series arrive this Fall on the big streamer. Meanwhile back at CD Projekt Red, development at Cyberpunk 2<\/em> has started<\/a>, though it\u2019ll be a ways out before we see cyber head or robot hide of that one.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
