Cyberpunk: Edgerunners NSFW trailer
The series will be set in the same world as Cyberpunk 2077 game, but feature a new story and a new cast of characters. The trailer opens with the main characters David Martinez and Lucy discussing David's mother and his wishes for the future. Shortly afterward, it devolves into a rapid-fire series of gunfights, explosions, and sexual imagery.
It’s significantly more violent than the game ever gets. Besides some brief nudity, but also a whole lot of over-the-top violence and outright gore. Think more along the lines of Doom Eternal than Cyberpunk 2077.
About Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Edgerunners tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid - David - trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future, Night City. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner—a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.

The story is written in a collaboration between Studio Trigger and CD Projekt Red. The director of Edgerunners is Hiroyuki Imaishi, who directed Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann.

The anime is going to feature an original score by Akira Yamaoka, the composer of the Silent Hill series.
David Martinez
After experiencing a personal tragedy, David had the powerful Sandevistan speedware installed in his body. This led him to become one of Night City's edgerunners. It was Lucy who led him into the city's underworld, eventually teaming up with her and group of mercenaries.
As a drink of his name exists in the Afterlife, it is suggested that David would have died as a legendary edgerunner before the events of Cyberpunk 2077.
Lucy
Lucy is a mysterious Netrunner from Night City. She is quite introverted and doesn't like to talk much about her past. Despite her innocent appearance, she won't hesitate to take a life in a heartbeat if she gets really angry. Lucy considers Night City a prison, and dreams of one day leaving it for the Moon.
Lucy is part of a mercenary group led by Maine. One of its members, a netrunner by the name of Kiwi, is mentoring her.
Upon wanting to become one of NC's edgerunners, David Martinez was led by Lucy into the city's underworld, making him join her edgerunner group.
