dropped, confirming a standalone 10‑episode arc, new characters, darker plotlines, and a 'redemption and revenge' vibe.

The teaser opens with flashbacks to David's downfall, his solar-powered ride, Rebecca's tragic finale, and the iconic line: 'David's dead.
But Night City lives on.' Then, a lineup of at least 11 new silhouettes, including a camcorder-wielding kid, signals a fresh main cast. It peaks with a glance at the chaotic world ahead, without spoiling much, perfectly teasing the darker, more violent, and emotional tone we're promised.
Edgerunners Season 2 is being billed as a standalone story, so even if you loved David & Lucy, this one stands on its own. New faces won't have cameo guarantees, but familiar creatives are back: director Kai Ikarashi, character designer Kanno Ichigo, and showrunner Bartosz Sztybor.

It's a reset that'll let us dive into fresh stories in the same neon-soaked universe without tying us down to the previous tragedy.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 trailer: Darker, bloodier, and philosophically raw
According to showrunner Sztybor (via The Verge), Season 2 will be 'sadder, darker, more bloody, more raw.' If you were scared Season 1 hit too heavy, brace yourself, this one's diving deeper. Expectations? High emotional stakes, brutal consequences, and moral questions in a city obsessed with spectacle.
Think less shiny cyberware, more visceral grit.
When Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 might release and why 2027 is the estimate release date
No official release date yet, but patterns suggest a 2027 launch—two years after the trailer, following the season one timeline. Production isn't rushed; the teaser is raw, rough, and far from final polish, which means quality animation and depth. So, mark your calendars: 2026 might be teaser hype, but 2027 should be full-on Edgerunning.
Should you rewatch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 1 or Play
Cyberpunk 2077
You don't have to rewatch or dive into the game, but both add value.
Season 1 sets the emotional baseline. The game (especially Phantom Liberty and 2.0) offers a broader Night City context. The showrunners hint at overlapping lore, so while it's standalone, background in either helps catch richer layers and spikes the connection.
Final word: Why this trailer matters
This teaser isn't just hype, it's confirmation: Katana-armed emotion, cyberpunk existentialism, and the raw artistry of Studio Trigger are returning.
If you loved the first for its tear-jerking arcs and moral punch, buckle up, news says Season 2 will go deeper and hit harder. This trailer isn't just a comeback—it's a promise. A promise that Night City still has untold stories, emotional chaos, and futuristic trauma waiting around the neon-lit corner.
With Studio Trigger at the helm and CD Projekt Red backing it up, we're getting more than just a Season 2—we're getting a full-blown Cyberpunk revival that builds on everything we loved and feared in Season 1. Whether you're here for the explosive action, layered world-building, or just want to emotionally spiral again over strangers in a city that eats its own, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 is shaping up to be unmissable. So yes—this trailer matters because it reminds us of the cruel beauty of Night City, where no one gets out clean, but everyone has a story worth watching. We don't know the names of the new characters yet, but we already know they're doomed—and we'll be there, snacks and trauma blankets in hand, when it all goes down. Bookmark this show, chooms. It's going to hurt—in the best way, those tissues, chooms Night City isn't done making you feel.

‘Mortal Kombat 2' fake trailer: Karl Urban's Johnny Cage shines in hilarious spoof ‘Uncaged Fury'
A fun and fake movie trailer called 'Uncaged Fury' was released to introduce Karl Urban as Johnny Cage in the upcoming film 'Mortal Kombat 2.' Though it's not part of the actual movie, it gives fans a first look at the character and builds excitement for the sequel. Fake movie trailer titled 'Uncaged Fury' Recently a fun and creative promotional video was released for the upcoming film 'Mortal Kombat 2.' Instead of a regular trailer, they shared a fake movie trailer titled Uncaged Fury, starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage. This wasn't an actual scene from the sequel but a humorous 'movie within a movie' that highlights the character's over-the-top personality and introduces Karl Urban's version of him to the audience. This fake trailer helped build excitement for Johnny Cage's proper debut in 'Mortal Kombat 2,' which fans have been waiting for since the end of the first film. About Johnny Cage Johnny Cage is a well-known and beloved character from the Mortal Kombat video game franchise. He is a Hollywood action star with a flashy, confident attitude, famous for his sunglasses, martial arts skills, and funny one-liners, and in this fake trailer, Karl Urban plays him perfectly, wearing classic Johnny Cage sunglasses, walking into a dramatic warehouse setting, and showing off his action hero side with exaggerated flair. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo About the trailer The trailer begins with the voiceover introducing Cage through made-up movie titles like Cool Hand Cage, Hard to Cage, and Rebel Without a Cage. In the scene, Cage walks into a warehouse, confronts a group of bad guys, and gets angry when someone touches his sunglasses. He then beats them all up using just a metal pipe, reclaims his shades, and says his iconic line, 'It's showtime.' Though it's just a parody, this fake trailer generated a lot of buzz. The official 'Mortal Kombat' movie Instagram page joined the fun by posting a cheeky caption that said the 'F.' in 'Johnny F. Cage' stands for 'Fantastically Handsome.' This playful promotion was a smart way to give fans a taste of the character's energy before seeing him in the full movie. In the first 'Mortal Kombat' movie, which was released in 2021, Johnny Cage didn't appear onscreen, but there was a hint of his existence through a movie poster for Citizen Cage. The ending showed Cole Young heading to Los Angeles to find new fighters, setting the stage for Johnny Cage's entrance. Now, with Karl Urban officially in the role, fans are excited to see how he'll bring the character to life in the sequel. About the film 'Mortal Kombat 2' will feature Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Damon Herriman as Quan Chi, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, and Chin Han as Shang Tsung. It is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 24 October 2025.
