First reported by GamesRadar<\/a>, CD Projekt Red has thanked thousands of fans for doing something exceedingly rare in today’s entertainment space: Not spoiling a hotly anticipated new show even though they got advance access.<\/p>\n

6,000 fans showed up to the advance premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 at LA’s Crypto.com Arena (lol) as part of Anime Expo 2026, where they got to see the first episode of Studio Trigger’s follow-up to its explosively popular 2022 anime hit. And while there are almost certainly descriptions of the plot somewhere<\/em> out there on the internet, CD Projekt Red was sufficiently satisfied with the lack of spoilers and footage on the World Wide Web.<\/p>\n

We really appreciate everyone\u2019s understanding and for helping us keep the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 episode one screening at Anime Expo spoiler-free by not recording any footage. \ud83d\udc9b Let\u2019s all experience it and the rest of the season together when the show launches this fall! https:\/\/t.co\/8Tk7x1E8qFJuly 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“So far, the first episode streamed at Anime Expo hasn’t leaked,” wrote CD Projekt Red’s Japanese associate country director, Satoru Homma, on Twitter<\/a>. “Thank you so much for keeping your promise properly.”<\/p>\n

CDPR global PR director Radek Grabowski concurred. “We really appreciate everyone\u2019s understanding and for helping us keep the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 episode one screening at Anime Expo spoiler-free by not recording any footage,” he wrote<\/a>. “Let\u2019s all experience it and the rest of the season together when the show launches this fall!”<\/p>\n

Edgerunners was at least as much of a phenomenon as the game it was based on, and even a stepped-on cam rip of the second season’s first episode with a watermark for a gambling website would prove a hot commodity. If there really isn’t one out there on the information superhighway, you gotta respect the Anime Expo attendees’ restraint on the matter.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of us, we have to wait until the fall to get a load of Edgerunners 2. It seems like it will be worth the wait: I seriously dug Edgerunners 2’s first trailer<\/a>, while its story and character previews tickle the Cyberpunk lore-loving parts of my brain.<\/p>\n
