During its panel at this year’s Anime Expo in Los Angeles, CD PROJEKT RED proudly announced that they reunited with studio TRIGGER to create a new standalone anime series set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2.
CD PROJEKT RED invited attendees to the livestreamed panel “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — Behind the Scenes With its Creators” featuring story writer and producer Bartosz Sztybor and voice actors Emi Lo (Lucy Kushinada) and Zach Aguilar (David Martinez) with host Joey “The Anime Man” Bizinger and a special guest appearance by Cyberpunk: Edgerunners director Hiroyuki Imaishi.
Sztybor announced the new collaboration between CD PROJEKT RED and animation studio TRIGGER to create Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. Together with Imaishi, he shared an exclusive reveal of the anime’s official logo and its poster art.
Imaishi also took the opportunity to introduce Kai Ikarashi in his directorial debut for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. Sztybor, showrunner, story writer, and producer on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, gave some insight into the new anime:
“David’s story might be over, but there’s plenty more to discover in Night City. And to again have the legendary animation studio TRIGGER along for the ride makes us at CD PROJEKT RED so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we’ve done before.”
