During a panel at Anime Expo 2025 held on July 4, 2025, the official staff confirmed the production of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2. Studio Trigger will reunite with CD PROJEKT RED for the sequel, which will be a 10-episode "standalone story" from the world of the Cyberpunk 2077 video game.

A "closed-door viewing" of a new teaser video for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 will be held on Studio Trigger's panel at Anime Expo 2025. Nevertheless, the official X handle for the show (@edgerunners) has described the project as follows:

"It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?"

Notably, Kai Ikarashi, who worked in the previous installment as a storyboard artist, animation director, prop designer, and animator, rejoins the franchise as the director. Bartosz Sztybor, the producer and writer, is working on the sequel, with Ichigo Kanno as the lead character designer. Furthermore, Masahiko Otsuka is also returning as the show's scriptwriter.

The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime tells a standalone, 10-episode tale about a young kid from the slums trying to survive in the Night City, a city obsessed with technology and body modifications. The boy named David Martinez turns into an Edgerunner, i.e, a mercenary outlaw, also known as a Cyberpunk.
