To compensate for the delay, the Polish video game development studio that build Cyberpunk, CD Projekt Red, has brought the base game and all post-release content including the Phantom Liberty expansion to Macs at once. The game makes use of the full capabilities of the M-series chips to deliver a smooth performance, sharp visuals, and more.

ChatGPT's upcoming Image Styles could make it super easy to Ghiblify your images (APK teardown)
Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR ChatGPT is working on an Image Styles feature that would add a pre-defined instruction set to your prompt to achieve a specific image style in your results. Users would be able to select from aesthetic styles such as 'Anime,' 'Cyberpunk,' 'Coloring Book,' and more. These styles can be added as instructions for converting existing images or generating new ones. ChatGPT's image generation capabilities are pretty nifty, and it's largely credited for sparking the viral trend of Studio Ghibli-fying your images. However, given the nature of AI image generation, users must know the right prompt to get the right results, which often isn't a piece of cake. Many users end up searching for the exact prompt to be used to get a specific style for their generated or converted image. ChatGPT could be looking to simplify this process by introducing Image Styles, allowing users to generate new images or convert existing images according to pre-defined styles from within the app. Authority Insights story on Android Authority.

'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2' Will Return To Night City As A Standalone Sequel
David's story may have come to an end, but the world of Night City lives on. After teasing a potential animated series last year, Netflix and CD Projekt Red have announced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 , a standalone sequel to the 2022 darling. Announced at Anime Expo 2025, the forthcoming spin-off will feature 'an entirely new story, fresh characters, and a raw, realistic take on the most dangerous city of the dark future.' The video game developer is reuniting with Studio Trigger for the project, with Kai Ikarashi ( ) and Kanno Ichigo ( Promare ) serving as director and lead character designer, respectively. Hugo Award winner Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka, who worked on the original, are back onboard. 'Night City has a lot of stories to tell. I have a dream that it won't end with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners . There's more stories, more characters. I wasn't satisfied with the sadness I received from the audience, so I want you to be even more sad now,' Sztybor said, adding that the 10-episode season is set to be 'of course, sadder, but it will be also darker, more bloody, and more raw.' 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge,' reads a summary of the follow-up instalment. 'In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?' No release date has been announced for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 , but here's a first look at its official logo and poster art: Night City is due to return on the gaming front as well, though not anytime soon. Cyberpunk 2 , the sequel to 2020's Cyberpunk 2077 , has entered the pre-production phase of development, placing the game's release date somewhere between late 2030 and early 2031.

Hotly anticipated Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 reveals its casting director for the English dub, Cowboy Bebop's Wendee Lee
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 sent shockwaves throughout the anime and gaming fandom after it was announced at Anime Expo 2025. The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a critically acclaimed anime series produced by Studio Trigger in collaboration with CD Projekt Red (CDPR) and R. Taslorian Games that released in 2022 on Netflix. The series was meant to have a self-contained storyline that didn't leave much room for a sequel, which is reflected in Cyberpunk: Edgerunner 2's marketing. The teaser trailer confirms that a major character death from the original series will stick, and statements characterizing the upcoming series as a 'standalone sequel' seem to imply it may feature a new cast of characters altogether. Another important detail about the production was revealed on July 6, with veteran voice actor Wendee Lee, known for her roles in Cowboy Bebop, Bleach and Lucky Star confirming that she'll be the casting and voice director for the upcoming series. Wendee Lee is the director of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2's English dub * Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II * I cannot wait to cast & voice direct this badass sequel! The new anime will be another 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077, described as 'a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge'. 💔 The English voice acting of the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was praised as one of its strongest points, with the performances of Zach Aguilar, Emi Lo and Giancarlito Esposito receiving multiple plaudits. The English dub of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will have high standards to live up to, but Wendee Lee is a seasoned industry veteran with plenty of experience under her belt. Having started her career with 1985's Robotech, she's gone on to voice many iconic roles over the years. Wendee Lee's well known as the voice of Faye Valentine in the cult classic Cowboy Bebop, Conan Edogawa in the Bang Zoom dub of Case Closed, and Yoruichi in Bleach. Her voice directing experience is also extensive, with her having worked on the English dub of Digimon Adventure, Outlaw Star and Bleach. More recently, she was also the voice director for 2021's Cells at Work! Code Black. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is the latest entry in the Cyberpunk franchise The Cyberpunk franchise originated with the Cyberpunk tabletop game that was produced by Mike Pondsmith and R. Taslorian Games in 1988. The second edition of the game, Cyberpunk 2020, was released in 1990, and served as the foundation for the rest of the franchise. CD Projekt Red released their highly anticipated video game adaptation of the setting, known as Cyberpunk 2077, in December 2020. While the original launch was fairly controversial due to the game's unfinished and poorly optimized state, CDPR's continued support for the title, alongside the runaway success of the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, has cemented the video game as one of the company's flagship titles.

Good News About The ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' Season 2 Release Date
Cyberpunk Edgerunners CDPR has just announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will return with season 2. This was more or less confirmed before this, but now actual promotion is rolling out for the show, with descriptions, posters and by the time you read this, probably a trailer. If you're thinking you're going to need to wait an extremely long time for this second season, the release date may be a lot closer than you think. CDPR has not given a date, nor a window. However, given the saga that was the release of season 1, we can dig into this. And from what I can tell, it's mostly good news. Here's the timeline: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was announced on June 25, 2020 during a livestream. It was largely forgotten about until closer to release (December 2020 was launch, and its disastrous release was all anyone could talk about). Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered on Netflix on September 13, 2022, about two and a quarter years later. So, are we destined for a fall 2027 launch? Not necessarily. If it's true that Edgerunners season 2 is actually getting a trailer today (it already has promotional art), then we may be much closer to launch than envisioned. The first Edgerunners season 1 trailer wasn't released until June 8, 2022 at a Netflix 'Geeked Week' showcase. That was just four months until launch. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Almost immediately, Edgerunners was a huge hit. It remains one of the best-scoring shows in Netflix history with a 100% critic score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Riot's Arcane used to be up there as well, but season 3 dropped its audience score to an 87%, so Edgerunners practically stands alone on the service. And so, what was once going to be a one-off led to more content. In September 2024, Netflix teased a new Cyberpunk animation project. Now, we know that's Edgerunners season 2. One concern was that animation studio TRIGGER was so busy they wouldn't be available for a while, but it seems they have made time, given that this was an obvious priority. Given all this information I do not believe at all we are in for another 2+ year wait for Edgerunners season 2. If we really do get a trailer, I would guess that maybe this isn't four months away like we saw with season 1, but under a year? I believe it. This is a new group, new story. It's been confirmed the star of season 1, David, is really dead. An open question is whether this will start teasing the events of Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, currently in the works at CDPR. We might know sooner than we think. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
