Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Officially Announced for Fall 2026 Release

The neon-drenched streets of Night City are about to get a lot more crowded. Netflix, in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, has officially announced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a new expansion set to launch in Fall 2026. This highly anticipated follow-up promises to bring more of the electrifying narrative and characters that captivated audiences worldwide.

The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, which premiered on September 13, 2022, was a critical and commercial success, earning a perfect 10/10 rating and dominating streaming charts. Its standalone sequel, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, was initially slated for a 2026 release, and this expansion directly ties into that narrative, offering players a chance to experience Night City on a deeper level.

Night City Expands Its Reach

This isn't just a digital expansion; it's a full-fledged return for the beloved franchise. The Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners DLC is already live, adding fan-favorite characters like Lucy and Rebecca, along with iconic Night City locales and even a free 5-star character. This collaboration serves as a tantalizing appetizer for what's to come in Edgerunners 2.

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that more details regarding the Edgerunners 2 Update will be unveiled on October 21, 2026, during a special episode of their REDstreams broadcast. This event will likely detail the full scope of the update, including new items and features that will be integrated into Cyberpunk 2077. The free update is scheduled to launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, with a release for the Nintendo Switch 2 to follow shortly thereafter.

What This Means for Edgerunners Fans
