CD Projekt confirms there aren’t any plans for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2

Netflix anime sequence Cyberpunk: Edgerunners confirmed as much as give Cyberpunk 2077 fairly a stim within the arm final month, however it was a one-time enhance: CD Projekt has made it clear there is no second season of the show within the works; Edgerunners was conceived from the start as a one-off.

That could be a shock if you happen to’ve witnessed the impact Edgerunners has had on CD Projekt’s RPG. The energetic sequence by Studio Set off made me take into account giving the game one other attempt, and I used to be hardly alone. Edgerunners was an enormous hit, spawning tons of mods, and an accompanying game update helped propel the RPG again up into the most-played video games on Steam where it is held robust for over a month now. Would not CD Projekt wish to preserve that gravy prepare rolling? 

It is doable CD Projekt is now regretting the single-season plan, however that was the plan. In a Famitsu interview translated by VGC, CD Projekt Crimson‘s Satoru Honma stated that he “wish to proceed to work with Japanese studios to provide extra anime sooner or later, partly as a result of we now have acquired excellent suggestions.” However then he drove the purpose dwelling: “Simply to be clear, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was deliberate as a standalone work.” 

When you’ve watched the sequence or adopted the historical past of Studio Set off, this information ought to have you ever nodding alongside. Edgerunners tells an entire story, and Studio Set off director and co-founder Hiroyuki Imaishi (who headed up Edgerunners) does not are likely to work on sequels.

All that stated, I would additionally wager that CD Projekt and Netflix each underestimated how common Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was going to be, or what a boon it will find yourself being to Cyberpunk 2077. Given Honma’s remark above and a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel on the best way, we in all probability have not seen the final of Cyberpunk anime on Netflix.
