The panel kicked off with a spectacular sizzle reel, which you can watch at the very bottom. This was followed by the trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, which had been announced the day before during a CD Projekt Red panel. Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor was in attendance and said that he initially thought only five people would watch the first season and that he would "die forgotten." He thanked the audience profusely for their support and love for the series.
Next up, Blue Eye Samurai creators Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, along with executive producer Jane Wu, spoke in pre-recorded interviews. They gave a sneak peek at season two, which will continue to center on protagonist Mizu’s quest for revenge. Noizumi revealed that Mizu is convinced that at least two of her targets are in London, and that the new season will begin with Mizu breaking into a place to kill someone. In addition, familiar characters such as the Swordsmith, Ringo, Taigen, and Akemi will return. Noizumi also hinted that some characters who were thought to be dead may still be alive.
Fans were also treated to new artwork for the second part of the final season of Beastars, which will be released in 2026. At Record of Ragnarok III, voice actors Cory Yee and J. Michael Tatum were on hand to introduce the third season along with a new trailer.
