Anime Expo 2026 kicks off in Los Angeles on 2 July, running through to 5 July at the LA Convention Center — and while most of us won’t be catching flights to California, Singapore fans still have every reason to pay close attention. AX is where the anime and gaming industry makes its biggest summer moves, from streaming premieres to franchise reveals that will eventually hit our queues whether we’re watching from LA or tapping through Netflix on the bus.
Here’s what to watch when the announcements roll in next week.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Gets Its First Closer Look on 3 July
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 — confirmed by CD Projekt Red and Studio TRIGGER — will receive an exclusive closer look at its panel on 3 July at 7:30 PM PDT (10:30 AM, 4 July in Singapore). Director Kai Ikarashi, showrunner Bartosz Sztybor, executive producer Sara Elder, and host Danny Motta are all confirmed to be there.
The new series is a standalone 10-episode story set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe — entirely new characters, entirely new story. The tagline: “When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?” Season 1 was a global smash on Netflix and a huge hit with Singapore viewers. Everything confirmed at this panel lands in your Singapore queue.
