I hope a completely new set of characters

Well.... Yeah. Obviously it's going to have to be

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There could be some crossover somehow.

Writer was pretty clear about David's fate in the article and mentioned wanting to tell more stories with "many interesting characters". Besides, season 2 is described as a standalone story so more than likely.

Really fucking hooe they cook on this. First one was really good but the hard part is gonna be not relying too much on the story from the first one.

They've said that it's a standalone story. I honestly hope there's a bit better pacing and it's a story over 2 seasons perhaps. Would be able to go into more things in depth and more details of characters relationships with one another.

I might be reading too much into this but I think they're going for an anthology feel with the show and if there's ever Cyberpunk Edgerunners 3 it would once again focus on yet another group of characters. That's just how I interpreted Sztybor's words though.

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm sure that's what they will do.

But I can still hope for a story told over two seasons.
