CD Projekt Red loremaster Patrick Mills has officially clarified the timeline for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2. Contrary to fan theories suggesting a prequel, Mills confirmed on Bluesky that the series is set in 2078, occurring shortly after the pivotal meeting with Hanako at Embers in Cyberpunk 2077.
The narrative placement is further supported by the diminished influence of the Arasaka corporation compared to its status during the main game. While fans are actively debating whether this timeline confirms specific canon endings for Cyberpunk 2077, the studio maintains that the series does not force a definitive choice regarding the game's various conclusions.
To coincide with this development, CD Projekt is releasing a themed update for Cyberpunk 2077 on October 22. This content introduces new cyberware customization options and a dual-wielding playstyle. Additional information regarding this update is scheduled for release during a REDstreams broadcast on October 21, 2026.
Looking ahead, the franchise continues to expand with a live-action film and the in-development Cyberpunk 2. While the studio has confirmed the film will not simply retell the events of the original game, specific details regarding the setting and release timing for the next major title remain unannounced.
