Netflix has released a new animated video for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, featuring a Marlon Hoffstadt remix of “High Forever.” The release arrives as the upcoming chapter in the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners universe gains attention on the streaming platform, with the series currently ranking third on Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV list, according to the supplied announcement.

The new series returns viewers to Night City, the dangerous metropolis at the heart of the Cyberpunk franchise. However, rather than continuing the original anime’s story, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 introduces a standalone narrative following new characters dealing with revenge, obsession, family, and legacy.

The 10-episode production is led by showrunner Bartosz Sztybor and director Kai Ikarashi, with animation handled by Studio TRIGGER. The new animated video offers another way for fans to revisit the franchise’s distinctive blend of futuristic imagery and electronic music.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Introduces a New Night City Story

The standalone series follows Weak, a washed-up cyberpunk legend forced to live without cybernetic enhancements as he searches for purpose in a world that has moved on. Meanwhile, a deadly nomad named D pursues revenge, drawing closer to corporate secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.

The story explores how personal ambitions and relationships become entangled in Night City’s brutal environment. Unlike a direct continuation of the original anime, the new installment builds its own cast and narrative within the established universe.

The voice cast includes Valeria Rodriguez as Roman Carax, Kimoy Lee as Talia Yang, Cesili Williams as Avida Yang, Daniel Wu as Kiril Yang, Brittany Lauda as Capri, and E.G. Daily as Kyoko Tanaami.
