Trailer is out!


We also have the second inside look at Edgerunners. David is a character who starts out pretty relatable at first, but as his life begins to revolve around violence his personality changes. Lucy is a character who's meant to be a badass femme fatale, but at the same time also cute. Trigger and CD Project Red have been working together on this for 3 or 4 years (which would mean they've been planning this not only prior to the release of 2077, but also while Promare was still in development).


As for my own personal predictions, I think this is going to be Triggers best work since Promare, and definately their darkest work. Brand New Animal started strong and with lots of promise, but sort of fell apart towards the end. Dynazenon was good, but I didn't feel it was on the level of Triggers other works.

The latest Cyberpunk 2077 patch will add content relating to Edgerunners, including outfits, weapons, missions and more!




The English dub cast has also been released. Though the cast includes many professional voice actors, it also has the legendary Giancarlo Esposito (known for his roles in Breaking Bad and The Boys).

I have just finished marathoning Edgerunners. So far it's my anime of the year (though I've only see a bit of the Bastard!! anime), and I would say it's the best Trigger anime since Promare. I'd put it in my top 7 Trigger animes.

Miracle of Sound made a remaster of one of his songs (Neon Red) to collaborate with Edgerunners release! Hopefully he can write an original song to go with it too.
