“We’re positively planning on doing extra by way of animation with Cyberpunk so I hope that is sufficient as a solution,” joint CEO Michał Nowakowski informed traders on the time. “So count on to see extra for positive, however that is so far as I can go proper now.”
CD Projekt Pink and Netflix first collaborated on Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which debuted in September 2022 to acclaim from followers and critics alike. It even helped gas extra curiosity again to Cyberpunk 2077, and followers had been clamoring for a second season.
Nowakowski’s earlier feedback revived extra hope of that, but it surely’s value noting that neither Netflix nor CD Projekt Pink have revealed whether or not this “return to Evening Metropolis” can be an Edgerunners Season 2.
