Studio Trigger and CD PROJEKT RED have officially unveiled a brand-new key visual for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, while also confirming that the highly anticipated sequel anime will premiere during the Fall 2026 anime season.
The newly released visual showcases a darker, more intense atmosphere than its predecessor, hinting at a fresh cast of characters and another emotionally charged story set within the neon-lit streets of Night City. While David Martinez's story reached its conclusion in the original series, the sequel promises an entirely new standalone narrative that explores another side of the Cyberpunk universe.
A New Story in Night City
Unlike the first anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will introduce a completely original cast, allowing viewers to experience Night City from a fresh perspective. Studio Trigger has teased that the new series will feature high-octane action, cybernetic enhancements, emotional storytelling, and the brutal consequences of chasing dreams in a dystopian world.
Although plot details remain under wraps, the latest visual suggests an even grittier tone, with mysterious new characters and the signature vibrant cyberpunk aesthetic fans have come to expect.
Studio Trigger Returns
Animation production once again falls to Studio Trigger, the acclaimed studio behind the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The first series became a global sensation in 2022, earning widespread praise for its breathtaking animation, unforgettable characters, and faithful adaptation of the Cyberpunk universe created by CD PROJEKT RED.
The sequel aims to build upon that success while telling a completely independent story, making it accessible to both returning fans and newcomers.

Alongside the new visual, the production team confirmed that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will premiere during the Fall 2026 anime season. Additional information, including the exact release date, streaming platform, voice cast, and theme songs, is expected to be revealed in the coming months.
Fans can also look forward to new trailers and promotional materials as the premiere approaches.
