First airing back in 2022 and taking Netflix by storm, the Cyberpunk 2077-inspired anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, has left fans with a lot of happy memories, and outright trauma.
Set in Night City, yet following a new bunch of characters as opposed to the ones we know and love from Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners follows streetkid David Martinez who gets to grips with both the criminal underbelly of the city, and the growing need for cybernetic enhancements. Joined by a group of other misfits known as Edgerunners, the mercenary gang face threats from all over the city, as well as the looming figure of Adam Smasher himself.
As mentioned, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was an instant hit, receiving critical acclaim and receiving praise for its writing, characters, action, animation, music and worldbuilding. As such, it was soon greenlit for a second season, which is currently in development at Studio Trigger. However, with the upcoming season expected to be a brand-new standalone story, some fans were left feeling disappointed that we would never see more of the Edgerunner crew, especially as David and Lucy's story had far from a happy ending.
Luckily, it is not all doom and gloom as a recent...
