The Star-Studded Panel Lineup

Taking place on July 3 at 7:30 PM PT, the panel will be hosted by popular content creator Danny Motta. The stage will be graced by the creative architects behind the series:

  • Bartosz Sztybor: Showrunner (CD PROJEKT RED)
  • Saya Elder: Executive Producer (CD PROJEKT RED)
  • Kai Ikarashi: Series Director (TRIGGER)

The guests will discuss the massive success of the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the challenges of returning to the Cyberpunk universe, and the creative evolution required to bring a brand-new story to life in the same high-octane style as the first season.

A Closer Look at Night City

Last year’s Anime Expo served as the initial tease, where the team dropped the logo and the first promotional poster. Now, fans gathered at the Crypto.com Arena are expected to see much more.

While details remain under wraps, the panel is billed as an “exclusive closer look.” Fans are eagerly speculating whether this will include a teaser trailer, character reveals, or a definitive release window for the Netflix debut.

The Collaboration Continues

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is once again a collaboration between CD PROJEKT RED and the powerhouse animation studio TRIGGER. Their synergy on the first series set a new gold standard for video game-to-anime adaptations, winning critical acclaim and revitalizing interest in the Cyberpunk 2077 gaming universe.

With the return of key creative talent from both the developer and the animation studio, expectations for this standalone sequel are at an all-time high.
