While writer Bartosz Sztybor didn’t offer any specifics on the story at an Anime Expo panel, he did confirm that it would be sad. Emphasizing that CD Projekt RED as a whole always wants to write “character-driven” stories, he added, “But the other thing is that we are a company from Poland. I’m from Poland, and people in Poland are sad. They are born sad, they die sad, so I just wanted to make the whole world sad.”

Unfortunately, he doesn’t desire to shake things up and write a happy story. “When people are sad, I feel a bit happy,” he said. Long story short, if you’re walking into the anime expecting to have your heart broken, just like its predecessor, Sztybor has you covered.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will premiere on Netflix, so stay tuned for further updates. Cyberpunk 2077 will also receive a follow-up with Project Orion. CD Projekt RED recently confirmed that the sequel is in the pre-production phase, with job listings indicating it would be first-person and aim for the “most realistic and reactive crowd system to date.” However, studio co-CEO Michał Nowakowski believes it could take four to five years to develop.

On the bright side, the original will receive a brand-new update. Further details, including a release date, are pending. However, the developer has confirmed it will be similar in scope to Update 2.2.

More specifically, they showcased the opening to attendees, which CGMagazine has posted online. It features the protagonist, Hinako, speaking to a doll, seemingly discussing the past and how the other girls wouldn’t play with her. She’s joined by her older sister, dressed in a yukata, and after gifting her a small bell, they share a hug. Interestingly, we never see her sister’s face.

The camera then zooms out to show a Torii gate and the town of Ebisugaoka, the game’s setting, where a telltale fog seemingly begins to settle in. Silent Hill f launches on September 25th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Those who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition will receive three days of early access.

Based on the few hints offered, there’s a new cast of characters, including a child with a camera. At Anime Expo 2025, showrunner, producer and writer Bartosz Sztybor confirmed that while “David’s story might be over, there’s plenty more to discover in Night City.

“And to again have the legendary animation studio TRIGGER along for the ride makes us at CD Projekt RED so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we’ve done before.” Other notable staff include Kanno Ichigo (Edgerunners, Promare) as lead character designer, with Masahiko Otsuka adapting the screenplay (Promare, Gurren Lagann).

Since it recently entered production, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 doesn’t have a premiere date, so stay tuned for more updates. The original debuted in 2022 and immediately became a hit while spurring interest in Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt RED would also release a patch with some crossover content, including David’s outfit.

The developer is currently working on a sequel, codenamed Project Orion. There’s no release date, but Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith confirmed it would feature a new city and the return of Night City.
