Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2: Story

This is a whole other story; it is not a sequel to Season 1’s end, which was sad. It will tell a RAW story of Redemption & Revenge that is darker, Sadder, Bloodier, and more realistic than Season 1. This will take us to completely different extremes within the Very Dark and Brutal Reality of Night City, as well as have High Stakes Action and Greater Emotional Impact. Tagline: “David is dead. Night City, however, lives on”.

Expect TRIGGER to create its signature, over-the-top, smooth animation with a more Realistic, Gritty Tone. Updates will be provided through the channels of CDPR and/or via Netflix. The Hype is REAL; Night City is NOT DONE YET.
