For Cyberpunk 2077, the original release of the IP appeared to be short-lived as the reception of the game, at least on last-generation hardware, was extremely lacking. The content showed not to be up to par as many optimization issues surfaced making the game nearly unplayable for many. But, it appears that a different notion casted over the title when its next-generation update arrived earlier this year.

Not to mention the promised Studio Trigger anime on Netflix ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’, many anticipated this to be a stellar moment for fans of the medium and the franchise from CD Projekt Red. Well, many approved of the release for its first season. Additionally, the Polish game studio even released unique content from the series on Cyberpunk 2077 too at the time of its airing.

In a recent interview with Famitsu, and transcribed by Video Game Chronicles, there currently is no plans for a season 2 for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

I personally would like to continue to work with Japanese studios to produce more anime in the future, partly because we have received very good feedback. However, just to be clear, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was planned as a standalone work, so there’s no such thing as “we are actually working on Season 2 in the background”.

“Even if we could make more anime in the future, I don’t know if it would be Season 2 or something completely different,” he added during the interview. The news comes to be a saddened discovery as Cyberpunk: Edgerunners happens to be one of the most-anticipated and delivering shows on the platform – and that says a lot.

Looking ahead for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red is preparing the first expansion for next year. Revealing Phantom Liberty, the add-on is to feature a new district in Night City with the return of Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Sliverhand in the experience. You can read the full report by heading here.
