The memories of the release of Cyberpunk 2077 are in the past, now is the best time to enter this world. So much so that the acclaimed anime inspired by this universe, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, will finally be back, as announced during Anime Expo.
Through its panel at the Los Angeles convention, CD Projekt Red announced once again its collaboration with studio Trigger to continue the story of Edgerunners. On this occasion, it was confirmed that Kai Ikarashi, who has participated in works such as Evangelion 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time, Bocchi the Rock! and Mob Psycho 100 will be in charge of directing the show, replacing Hiroyuki Imaishi. Along with this announcement, the logo was revealed, as well as the first official poster of the work.
Imaishi also took the opportunity to officially pass the torch to Kai Ikarashi (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners), who will make his directorial debut with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. Ikarashi joined the panel with a recorded video message and debuted a Director’s Voice video to share more about his motivations for the anime.
