Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 Uses In Game Footage for Locations

Fans of the hit anime are getting even more authentic visuals in the next season. The team at Studio Trigger is getting creative by using the Cyberpunk 2077 video game as their primary location scout. They are using a virtual camera to explore the digital streets of Night City to find the perfect spots to feature in the show.

Creator and showrunner Bartosz Sztybor explained that the animation team has become so familiar with the game environment that he barely needs to provide specific directions anymore. They know the layout of the city just as well as the players do, which helps them pick iconic landmarks and hidden corners that fit the story perfectly.

This approach ensures that the anime feels like a true extension of the game world. By filming inside the engine, the animators can capture the exact mood and lighting of Night City. We look forward to seeing how these recognizable game locations translate into the high energy style of the new episodes.
