## Key points

- CD Projekt Red drew a line at destroying Night City.
- Studio Trigger pushed to destroy Arasaka in season two.
- The team says a third season needs the right story.

## Summary

CD Projekt Red worked with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners animation studio Studio Trigger to fit the anime’s ideas into Cyberpunk 2077’s established lore. The show’s team said it tries to find ways to develop ideas rather than reject them outright, but preserving the setting’s continuity limits what can happen.

Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor said Trigger repeatedly asked whether it could destroy Arasaka and Night City, including during early work on season two; the team declined those lore-breaking proposals. The new season returns to Night City with washed-up cyberpunk legend Weak and nomad D, whose pursuit of revenge brings him close to corporate secrets. A related quest and dual-wielding weapons were added in a Cyberpunk 2077 update, and Sztybor says a third season would require a suitable story.
