Hugo Award-winning writer Bartosz Sztybor returns as showrunner, story writer, and producer, joined by acclaimed talent including lead character designer Kanno Ichigo (Promare) and Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren Lagann) handling screenplay adaptation.

Why This Announcement Matters

The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners launched in September 2022 to critical acclaim, earning a rare 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. More importantly, it was the first real spark to reignite interest in CD PROJEKT RED’s Cyberpunk 2077, proving anime adaptations can revitalize gaming franchises.

The timing couldn’t be better for fans craving more cyberpunk content. With gaming industry trends showing increased crossover between anime and video games, this sequel represents a strategic move to maintain momentum in the Cyberpunk universe.
