Netflix’s Brutal ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2’ Trailer Delivers All the Sci-fi Body Horror Goods

I still think Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most misunderstood masterpieces of the last decade. And if you somehow missed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the Netflix anime proved exactly why the world of Night City deserved a second chance.

Now we’re heading back.

Netflix has unleashed the first trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, and it’s packed with everything fans could want: grotesque cybernetic body horror, buckets of blood, explosive action, and the kind of jaw-dropping animation that made the first series an instant classic.

The original 10-episode anime became a global hit after debuting on Netflix in 2022, telling the tragic story of street kid David Martinez as he fought to survive the brutal streets of Night City. Produced by Studio Trigger in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, the series earned widespread acclaim while introducing millions of viewers to the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

According to Netflix and CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 returns to Night City with an entirely new standalone 10-episode story centered on a fresh cast of characters. The official synopsis teases “a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge” that asks, “when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?”

The newly released teaser wastes no time delivering on that promise. Limbs are shredded, bodies are augmented beyond recognition, bullets fly, and Night City looks as dangerous and mesmerizing as ever. If the first season was any indication, expect plenty of emotional devastation alongside all that glorious carnage.

Netflix has confirmed that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will premiere this fall, although an exact release date has not yet been announced.
