The series follows David, a street kid trying to make a living in the body modification-obsessed metropolis of Night City. After crossing paths with Lucy, a fugitive hacker, David chooses to pursue a life as an “edgerunner” — an illegal mercenary who wants to come into contact with the city’s most notorious cyber-psychos and criminals in his quest to become a so-called legend . Edited by Studio Trigger themselves, this new trailer offers viewers a dizzying amount of visual stimuli packed into less than three minutes with shots of several secondary characters, multiple shots, the series’ obvious antagonist “Corpo”, as well as some eye-catching scenes of David using what appears to be the Kerenzikov effect — a cybernetic ability from Cyberpunk 2077 that allows players to shoot and dodge enemy attacks as if slowing down time. Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) directs the series alongside creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi (Kill la Kill), with character designs by Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia, BNA: Brand New Animal) and an original musical composition. by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series). Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will premiere on Netflix in September.
