Investors and players are once again looking in the same direction. CD Projekt once again proves that it can squeeze the last juices from Night City and turn pop‑culture hype into hard currency on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The autumn premiere of the second season of the hit anime Edgerunners II and the rapidly approaching Gamescom trade fair send a clear signal: the “Red” shares are starting a new hot wave that could stir up the trading floor.
The creators of the hit Netflix anime finally broke the silence, igniting fans’ imaginations to cyber‑psycho levels.
New deal in Night City: Trailer and autumn premiere
We met the official characters of the second season of “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners”, and most importantly, the premiere has been officially confirmed for this fall.
The visual marketing machine has kicked off with full force, and the latest trailer gives a powerful preview of what awaits us in a few months, although it will not be a continuation of the adventures of David’s crew from the first season.
The video not only sheds light on new characters who will have to survive in the ruthless world of corporations, but also instantly immerses the viewer in the heavy, neon‑lit atmosphere of Night City. Dynamic shots and a sharp soundtrack show that the production will maintain the high, uncompromising pace of its original. For CD Projekt this is a key moment.
The success of the first season showed how powerful pop culture can be for the sales of the video game itself, and a return to this universe is a proven recipe for re‑monetizing the brand.

Perhaps in the fall players will also receive an update for Cyberpunk 2077 that will introduce mini‑quests and gear linked to the second season of the Netflix anime.
The Reds decided to make this move at the premiere of the first season of Edgerunners.

New director on board, Kai Ikarashi takes the helm
The biggest surprise for the industry is, however, the change in the director position. The second season’s helm was not taken again by Hiroyuki Imaishi, as his place was taken by Kai Ikarashi. This change means significant reshuffling in the very formula of narrative delivery.

Bartosz Sztybor, the series writer, revealed in the latest interview how the two creators present different approaches. It may mean that a completely new spirit will be injected into the well‑known world.
Imaishi, a big, albeit unofficial fan of Michael Bay’s style, relied on gigantic visual metaphors and spectacular action scenes, fully trusting his writers.
In contrast, working with Ikarashi looks completely different. The new director himself heavily engages in writing the script, strives to give the story deeper, multi‑layered meanings, and tends to construct and direct scenes differently.
For viewers this means a more mature and complex plot that could attract an even wider audience to the screens.

The Witcher stays on track: Gamescom reveals cards
While the cyberpunk universe takes over the screens, the Warsaw studio does not forget its second, powerful pillar.
At the end of August, during the prestigious Gamescom trade fair in Cologne, CD Projekt plans to reveal key details about the upcoming DLC “Songs of the Past” for the game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”.
Analysts and players quietly expect that this is when we will learn the official release date of this expansion. The accumulation of news from two flagship franchises in such a short time is a classic textbook tactic for building tension in financial markets.
The investors’ reaction to these reports was almost immediate. CD Projekt shares reacted to the wave of positive information with an impressive rise of 1,7%, reaching a level of 221,10 PLN. The market evidently discounts the company’s future media and sales successes.
Interestingly, this may be just the beginning of a northward rally. According to the latest recommendation from Mateusz Chrzanowski of Noble Securities, CDR shares still have attractive, double‑digit growth potential.

The combination of the upcoming Cologne trade fair with the autumn push on Netflix creates ideal fuel for bullish market players.
CD Projekt once again proves that a modern gaming company is not just lines of code, but above all powerful universes capable of generating profits on many levels simultaneously.
The current price of CDR shares thus seems like a good deal for investors who want to get into their holdings.
