We finally got the news that three years later, and in celebration of this, alongside the announcement, we got to see a short official teaser trailer for everything that's to come.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' story was so heartfelt and beloved by fans that I can understand why the showrunners may want to draw a line under it, emphasising that even the surviving characters likely won't be shown again and how it's time to embrace a new story.
From this point, we get small glimpses of what I assume to be the new characters that we'll see in Season 2. It seems like there'll be a bigger cast than last time, as a lineup towards the end showcases at least 11 new characters. Although the focal point is what looks to be a small child with green eyes and a camcorder standing in the centre.
We don't get as good a look at these new characters as I'd hope for, but just going by the silhouettes, they all look
incredibly different, and just as cool as I've come to expect from anything Cyberpunk related.
There's no word yet on when this second season is set to release, but we do have confirmation that the season is currently in production. "It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077, a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge," an says. "When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?" Redemption and revenge—sounds like a recipe for greatness when [[link]] it comes to creating a story set in Cyberpunk's gritty universe.
