In a remarkable display of community integrity, CD Projekt Red has expressed its gratitude to fans for maintaining a rare level of discretion surrounding the eagerly awaited premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. This appreciation comes after an impressive turnout of 6,000 fans at the advance screening held at LA’s Crypto.com Arena during Anime Expo 2026. Attendees were treated to the first episode of the much-anticipated follow-up to the wildly successful 2022 anime adaptation.
Fans Show Restraint
Despite the excitement surrounding the event, which could have easily led to leaks and spoilers, fans managed to keep the details of the episode under wraps. CD Projekt Red noted that while there may be plot descriptions circulating online, the absence of recorded footage is a testament to the audience’s commitment to preserving the experience for others.
Radek Grabowski, the global PR director for CD Projekt Red, took to Twitter to commend the fans:
“We really appreciate everyone’s understanding and for helping us keep the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 episode one screening at Anime Expo spoiler-free by not recording any footage. 💛 Let’s all experience it and the rest of the season together when the show launches this fall!”
This level of restraint is particularly noteworthy given the fervor surrounding the original Edgerunners series, which captured the hearts of fans and critics alike. The anticipation for the second season is palpable, and even a low-quality cam rip would likely attract significant attention. The fact that none seem to have surfaced thus far speaks volumes about the integrity of the Anime Expo attendees.
As the launch of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 approaches this fall, the community’s shared commitment to enjoying the series together remains a shining example of fandom at its best.
