Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a 10-episode series produced by CD PROJEKT RED and TRIGGER, premieres on Netflix on October 20. Set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the story follows a young netrunner named D, a cyborg girl named Talia, and a documentarian named Roman, all linked by a mysterious Arasaka biochip.
The narrative centers on the biochip, which grants D supernatural abilities involving a mysterious red light. This power allows him to manipulate electronics and vehicles, mirroring phenomena seen in the Cyberpunk 2077 base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion. The show features intense, visceral action sequences characteristic of TRIGGER, including graphic combat and high-speed movement.
The reviewer notes that the series initially feels slow-paced, with independent character arcs that may cause viewers to struggle with emotional immersion. However, the reviewer highlights that a second viewing reveals deep connections and foreshadowing, making the complex ensemble drama rewarding. The voice acting, particularly Mizuta Wasabi’s performance as Kyoko, is praised for adding unique character depth.
The series is deeply integrated with Cyberpunk 2077, featuring familiar locations like the Afterlife bar and references to corporate power shifts. While the timeline is set after the original Edgerunners, it appears to take place after the events of the 2077 game. The show serves as a compelling companion piece that encourages viewers to revisit the game.
