While obviously there is the shared universe between the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Netflix anime show and Cyberpunk 2077 itself, the third trailer for Edgerunners season 2 has just revealed something huge. A much, much larger connection, this time to the main story of the game.<\/p>\n
In the new footage,<\/a> it\u2019s revealed that D, a Nomad Netrunner, has a Relic chip that he inserts into his body. The Relic chip, of course, is the impetus for the main storyline of Cyberpunk 2077, where V inserts the experimental tech that contains the soul, in effect, of a real person. In V\u2019s case, that is the rocker\/terrorist Johnny Silverhand. Her revival by the Relic means she is trudging toward an inevitable death with her brain slowly being overwritten, a fa spend the game trying to prevent.<\/p>\n Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n The Relic that D has is not the Relic, despite looking identical, as this is a series of chips, not that there\u2019s a singular one in existence. And if the Relic is here, it is clearly going to be a major plot point in this new season. I am particularly interested in one of the final lines of the trailer, where a character says to D, \u201cYou\u2019re a weapon\u2026made out of people?\u201d<\/p>\n To me, that implies something rather wild could be happening, where D perhaps inserts a number of different Relics, each with the souls\/psyches of stored people. And the type of people Arasaka has bothered to store clearly aren’t random civilians.<\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 1 only had cursory connections to Cyberpunk 2077. A story quest involving the characters, at least the lore of them, was added to the game later, though it was more of an easter egg than anything else. Here, a season that uses the MacGuffin of the entire game is much more significant.<\/p>\n While season 1 of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners took place before the events of the game, it has not yet been confirmed whether Edgerunners season 2 is before, during or after 2077, though it is after season 1. Edgerunners is officially canon to the game itself, and that will include the sequel that CDPR is currently working on.<\/p>\n Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 airs October 20, almost four years after the September 2022 release of season 1. We are now deep into the era of Cyberpunk 2077 being considered perhaps an all-time great game after years of fixes and additions. This Edgerunners season comes after the Phantom Liberty expansion, an all-time great DLC, and possibly the best content in the game.<\/p>\n We will find out how the Relic plays into the season in two months now, but this trailer is certainly the most intriguing so far because of it.<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>,<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series<\/a> and The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
