CD Projekt Red loremaster Patrick Mills has revealed the exact year Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 takes place, amid speculation from fans about what it means for the ending of Cyberpunk 2077.
According to Mills, Season 2 takes place not long after you bite the bullet and finally meet Hanako at Embers in Cyberpunk 2077.
"Ok so the thing is that I am seeing a lot of people assuming S2 takes place before 2077 but it doesn't, it takes place in 2078," Mills confirmed in a post on Bluesky. "Moving things forward, time doesn't stop in Cyberpunk."
Mills previously posted about a misunderstanding he had seen in early reviews of the series, but wanted to wait until it was out before dropping a truth nuke.
In Edgerunners Season 2, powerful corporation Arasaka doesn’t quite have the same pull it did during the events of Cyberpunk 2077, which is a hint that the anime takes place after the events of the game. There are also some other smaller and bigger details, but like the loremaster, I don’t want to spoil things for you.
Now they know Edgerunners 2 is set just a year after the events of Cyberpunk 2077, fans are trying to work out what it means for the plot of the game . Some believe it suggests certain endings are canon. Or, perhaps it would be better to say, some believe it suggests certain endings are not canon. In truth, Edgerunners 2 doesn't force CD Projekt into making a decision about canon — a bit like Bethesda's position on Fallout canon in the context of the Amazon TV show, which takes place after all the video games.
