The original song accompanying the teaser, <em>You Can&#8217;t Run From Me<\/em> by Rico Nasty, sets the tone perfectly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mV7451mcw-E\" title=\"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | Official Teaser 2\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | Official Teaser 2 &#8212; via Cyberpunk 2077 on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Meet the New Night City Crew<\/h2>\n<p>The four main characters cover very different corners of Night City&#8217;s social hierarchy \u2014 which is exactly how you get good drama:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weak &#8220;King&#8221; Kingsley<\/strong> (Japanese CV: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animatetimes.com\/tag\/details.php?id=28680\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kentaro Tone<\/a>) &#8212; A veteran edgerunner living in the shadow of his former glory.
