The first glimpse of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 arrived with a one-and-a-half-minute teaser that had fans immediately hunting for familiar ground. Netflix, CD Projekt Red, and Studio Trigger released the footage today, and players wasted no time loading back into Cyberpunk 2077 to pinpoint where the show's action unfolds.
The teaser, set to Rico Nasty's "You Can't Run From Me," introduces the new season's cast including Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax, and Talia Yang tearing through Night City. The 10-episode run arrives this fall, but that brief preview gave the starved fanbase plenty to analyze.
Fans were quick to match specific scenes to real locations in the game. One shot appears to show Roman standing on a bridge above the Riot nightclub, positioned between Watson and City Center districts. Another aerial frame clearly captures the Afterlife, the legendary bar that plays a significant role in V's story and remains iconic even to casual players.
The Deravaja Dojo in Little China appeared in another moment, with D visible for just a few frames. Meanwhile, Talia surfaces waving to Maelstrom goons at a construction site adjacent to the Arasaka Industrial Park, the same spot where V and Takemura conduct a stakeout during the Gimme Danger mission.
The precision is intentional. Studio Trigger has made location accuracy a calling card since the first season premiered in 2022, recreating recognizable corners of Night City that players can actually visit in the game. That commitment resonated with fans online. "The way this anime is so game location accurate makes my heart burst of joy," one X user wrote. Another praised how "the adverts in the anime being the same as the adverts in the game really shows they care."
CD Projekt Red returned the gesture with updates to Cyberpunk 2077 that included nods to characters from the original Edgerunners crew, cementing the two works as interlocking pieces of the same world.
The fanbase is already bracing for a deep dive when the season drops. Every street, skyline, and storefront will likely get compared to its game counterpart, continuing a tradition established by Season 1's meticulous world-building.
Author Emily Chen: "Studio Trigger isn't just adapting Cyberpunk 2077, they're celebrating it, and fans can feel the difference."
