Key information
The animated series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is now available on Netflix, featuring a new narrative and characters set within the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Following fan confusion regarding the timeline, CD Projekt Red Lore Designer Patrick Mills clarified on Bluesky that the series takes place in 2078.
This setting places the events two years after the story of David Martinez and one year after V attacked the Arasaka corporation. Mills emphasized that time in the Cyberpunk world continues to progress, correcting assumptions that the season occurred prior to 2077.
The series depicts a weakened Arasaka, no longer feared due to the absence of Adam Smasher, who was killed by V. While David Martinez is referenced as a legendary figure in Night City, V is not explicitly mentioned, leaving fans to speculate about which game ending is considered canon.
As of 22/10, fans continue to debate the implications of these narrative choices. While Mills expressed a desire to share more, he noted that certain details remain undisclosed by the development team, potentially due to ongoing plans for the Cyberpunk franchise and the upcoming sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.
