Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 (Japanese: サイバーパンク エッジランナーズ 2, Hepburn: Saibāpanku Edjirannāzu 2) is an upcoming cyberpunk original net animation (ONA) standalone sequel series to 2022's Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Like its previous entry, the sequel is also based on Cyberpunk 2077 by Polish studio CD Projekt Red, which in turn is based on the Cyberpunk universe by Mike Pondsmith.

Production

[edit]

The sequel series was first teased during a "Geeked Week" livestream in September 2024, albeit Trigger wasn't mentioned at the time and the follow-up had no title to begin with.[1] During a panel at Anime Expo in July 2025, CD Projekt Red announced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 with most of the staff returning.[2][3]

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will mark the directorial debut of Kai Ikarashi, with Ichigo Kanno as lead character designer, Masahiko Otsuka returning as scriptwriter and Bartosz Sztybor as producer.[3] Sztybor will also serve as showrunner.[2]
