Welcome to Night City, Cyberpunk TCG's debut set, hasn't even finished its retail rollout, and collectors are already asking what Set 2 looks like.
WeirdCo has been explicit since the game's announcement that a second set will fully introduce characters from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, beyond the two Edgerunners promos already tucked into Set 1's Beta Box as a Kickstarter stretch goal.
No official release date or confirmed checklist exists yet for Set 2, which makes this a watch-and-wait situation rather than a locked product to plan a budget around.
Here is what's genuinely reported about Set 2 so far, and what remains speculation collectors shouldn't treat as fact.
WeirdCo and CD Projekt Red have both stated publicly that Set 2 expands the game by fully introducing Edgerunners anime characters, a confirmed design direction rather than a rumor.
Two Edgerunners-themed cards, promo printings tied to David Martinez and Lucy, already shipped inside Set 1's Beta Box as a $20 million Kickstarter stretch goal reward, giving an early hint of the art direction Set 2 will likely build on.
Hobby outlets covering the game have floated a likely Set 2 roster built around David Martinez as a tempo-aggro lead Legend, Lucy as a Programs-focused netrunner archetype, and Maine as a heavier Solo-style build.
Kiwi and Rebecca round out the commonly reported list, with Rebecca already teased through Set 1 artwork, but none of this is an official checklist yet. It's informed speculation based on the anime's character arcs mapping onto the game's existing archetypes.
WeirdCo has not announced a Set 2 street date, which isn't unusual this early. Set 1 itself only reached full retail on November 6, 2026 after a lengthy Kickstarter and Beta rollout.
Expect a formal Set 2 announcement to follow a similar pattern, likely trailing well behind Set 1's retail stabilization rather than arriving as a surprise announcement in the near term.
Licensed card games that build a second set around a tie-in property, rather than simply expanding the first set's existing cast, tend to use that second release to pull in a wider, sometimes different fan base than the debut set reached.
An Edgerunners-focused Set 2 would likely draw anime fans who never played Cyberpunk 2077 itself, a meaningfully different audience than Set 1's core player base, similar to how other franchises expand reach through a sequel-set strategy.
The same community skepticism that showed up around the Kickstarter's funding climb is worth keeping in mind for Set 2 specifically, since a second set succeeding on hype alone, without strong constructed-play depth, would repeat the exact concern critics raised the first time.
Set 2 landing well mechanically, not just thematically, is the real test of whether that early skepticism was overblown or pointed at something real.
There's nothing to preorder or budget for yet, since no Set 2 product exists on any retailer's calendar, which makes now the wrong time to chase early listings claiming otherwise.
The better use of this window is finishing out Set 1, building toward the Edgerunner Open Regionals, and simply watching official WeirdCo channels for the first real Set 2 announcement instead of trusting secondhand rumor roundups.
Beyond adding new characters, a strong second set typically needs to introduce real strategic depth, new mechanics or card interactions that give existing players a reason to keep building decks rather than just collecting new art.
Whether an Edgerunners-themed Set 2 clears that bar will matter more to the game's long-term health than whether David Martinez or Lucy actually show up exactly as currently reported.
A studio coming off a record-breaking $28.3 million Kickstarter has every incentive to let Set 1 fully stabilize at retail, including working through any early supply or print-quality issues, before shifting attention and marketing budget to a second set.
Announcing Set 2 too early also risks pulling buyer attention and spending away from Set 1 product that stores are still trying to sell through, a real consideration for any publisher managing a retail channel this size.
No, WeirdCo has not announced a release date for Set 2.
It will fully introduce Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime characters, a direction confirmed by WeirdCo and CD Projekt Red.
David Martinez, Lucy, Maine, Kiwi, and Rebecca are commonly reported, though none are an official checklist yet.
Yes, David Martinez and Lucy promos shipped in Set 1's Beta Box as a Kickstarter stretch goal.
There's no Set 2 product to chase yet, so the smartest move right now is protecting what you've already pulled from Welcome to Night City. Keep your Set 1 Legends safe in EVORETRO graded card sleeves while you wait for an official announcement.
