The wait between Cyberpunk 2077 and its sequel is going to be a long one, but fans of the CD Projekt series can return to Night City tomorrow as Edgerunners season two arrives on Netflix. They might notice a familiar face from not just Cyberpunk, but the wider games industry, as the reveal that Hideo Kojima is making his debut in the show has been announced ahead of time.
Kojima’s return to Night City in the upcoming season of Edgerunners was revealed via the show’s Twitter account. “Spotting a familiar face, chooms? You may remember seeing him in Konpeki Plaza during The Heist in 2077. Now, the renowned braindance director is making another appearance in Night City,” the post confirming the Metal Gear Solid creator’s Cyberpunk return reads.
The post also shows a glimpse of what Kojima looks like in Edgerunners’ reimagined anime Cyberpunk world, since the only form we’ve seen him in so far in Night City was in-game courtesy of his cameo in Cyberpunk 2077. Just how extensive Kojima’s role will be in Edgerunners 2 hasn’t been revealed.
As noted in the Edgerunners post, Hideyoshi Koshima, Kojima’s character in Cyberpunk, can be found in Konpeki Plaza. The character is a braindance producer, and his wants and goals for the fictional futuristic medium are much the same as Kojima’s approach to game development. Oshima doesn’t just want to give people the best and deepest braindance experiences - he strives for every new product he makes to provide new personal connections unlike any achieved in the braindance genre before them.
