Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Sequel Draws From Iconic Crime Movies

Exciting news for fans of the hit series. Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor recently shared that the sequel to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is taking major inspiration from classic crime cinema. During a recent interview, he mentioned that the show aims to capture the gritty energy found in movies like Pulp Fiction, City of God, and Mean Streets.

When pitching the concept to the animation studio TRIGGER, Sztybor focused on creating an homage to the storytelling style of the 1990s. This approach is intended to build a unique atmosphere that feels fresh while staying true to the high stakes of the setting.

This new installment will shift focus to an entirely different group of mercenaries operating within Night City. By moving away from the previous cast, the team has the freedom to explore new corners of the city through a different lens. We are looking forward to seeing how these cinematic influences change the look and feel of the show when it eventually hits our screens.
