After months of teases, we finally have the first trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners‘ second season. Since the first season’s story wrapped up with neat (and tragic) bow, the second focuses on a new cast in Night City with their own set of troubles in the dystopian metropolis.
Studio Trigger and CD Projekt RED are collaborating once more on a 10-episode standalone series set in R. Talsorian Games’ bleak science fiction franchise, and based on this new trailer, it’s going to be just as dark, violent, and emotionally unnerving as season one, if not more.
Gear up for a return to the world of Cyberpunk, where only the ruthless survive and one wrong move can get you flatlined. This standalone story throws a fresh cast of characters into the darkest corners of Night City and brings a raw, gritty take on the world of the future. Lawless and unforgiving, this is Night City at its most brutal.
So far, we know a few of Edgerunners‘ new characters, including protagonist Roman Carax, a young cinephile “in search of stories in a city that abandoned cinema for braindances,” which is a pretty interesting character to center a story around in a world that as retreated to simulation technology as opposed to dealing with the horrors of the real world. In the trailer we can see him recording some of the violent acts unfolding in Night City, and based on. the rest of the footage, he’ll likely be capturing some more horrifying truths.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners‘ second season will premiere this fall on Netflix.
