Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 will have a completely new cast and story, but it will still connect closely to Season 1.
Creator Bartosz Sztybor says the idea for one of the new characters, Weak Kingsley, came from a “what if?” thought he had while writing Season 1:
“What if David made it? What if he didn’t die?”
Sztybor imagined David becoming a famous Edgerunner, but felt that his tragic personality would eventually lead to his downfall.
That idea helped inspire Weak, a veteran Edgerunner who was once at the top but now lives in the shadow of his past success.
“Season 1 is zero to hero. Season 2 is hero to zero.”
The new season won’t continue David’s story directly and will explore new characters and more stories from Night City.
