Netflix announces October 2026 anime lineup including Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2

Netflix has announced its anime lineup for October 2026, highlighted by the release of ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2’ on October 20. Developed through a collaboration between CD Projekt RED and Studio Trigger, this new standalone story will take place in the Night City setting of the ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ universe. Other scheduled releases include ‘The Ramparts of Ice 2’ starting October 1, ‘Blue Box 2’ on October 4, and three special episodes of ‘My Happy Marriage’ on October 25.

In related news regarding video game adaptations, a new trailer for the ‘Sekiro: No Defeat’ anime has been released. While the series, based on the FromSoftware game, has already seen a brief theatrical run in Japan, the director, Kenichi Kutsuna, has expressed frustration with the new promotional footage. Kutsuna requested that fans avoid watching the trailer because it reveals a specific cinematic technique intended to be a surprise, despite not spoiling the actual plot. He specifically attributed the issue to the production company Arch.
