Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Will Have a Bold New Art Style

Fans of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are getting something new. Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor recently shared that the team decided against repeating the visual style used in the first season. Instead, Studio Trigger is taking a different path to ensure the follow up feels like a unique project.

The new direction draws heavy inspiration from classic anime series produced during the 1980s and 1990s. Sztybor emphasized that the goal was to keep the sequel feeling distinct from the original while still fitting within the same gritty universe.

This news might surprise some fans who loved the bright and frantic animation of the first season. However, this shift suggests that the team wants to avoid playing it safe. We look forward to seeing how this retro aesthetic changes the way Night City looks on screen.
