  • Ordering a drink named after David Martinez in "Cyberpunk 2077" doesn't necessarily prove his death; it could be a public assumption.
  • Falco's conversations in the game are intentionally ambiguous and don't provide clear confirmation of David's death.

Possible Scenarios for Season 2

New Section

This section discusses potential storylines and ideas for Season 2 of the show "Edge Runners."

Potential Storylines for Season 2

  • I'm still extremely curious as to what's in the Old net and what our Saka was so desperate to find there maybe they can fill that Gap here and have Lucy discover something in the old net that helps her rescue David number four time skip Gap season two could start with the gap between episodes six and seven right
  • after Maine's death we get a skip of at least a few months during which David did a lot of growing and maturing I'm sure there were lots of dangerous jobs taken on during this time and personally I'd love to see more of David's process of hardening himself after the events of episode six
  • and we'd get to see more of Rebecca of course see you soon dimples number five katsuo's story we could get the story of katsua taking over for his dad after he passed this story arc was left pretty open and I really thought we were gonna get more rivalry between David and katsule as well as more from katsuo in general what would it mean if he quickly Rises through the ranks of arasaka and David is kept alive I could definitely see him making it personal and forcing David's Smasher to hunt and kill Lucy that would be pretty dark but very fitting
  • number six like father like son people have speculated that Lucy's actually pregnant with David's baby season 2 could involve this boy growing up and becoming obsessed with getting revenge for what happened to his father likewise some people have mentioned it'd be cool to Simply have another young kid idolize

New Section

This section continues discussing potential storylines for Season 2 of the show "Edge Runners."

Potential Storylines for Season 2 (continued)

  • David's story and end up following the exact same path
  • number seven Johnny silverhands 2.0 Lucy has David in her head using the relics somehow since Edge Runners already mirrors Johnny silverhand's life in so many ways and season 2 would take place further in the future what if Lucy and David are able to figure out a way to bring back David while also saving herself I believe in you Lucy
  • number eight the ending was a simulation everything that occurs from the moment David was put under JK's second BD is actually a simulation I made a really in-depth video on why this could very well be the case since David's jacket and Rebecca's shotgun can be found in the game this leads me to believe that
  • David was eventually freed and something similar to the events of the ending we saw could have happened afterwards

New Section

This section presents an alternative possibility for Season 2 of "Edge Runners."

Alternative Possibility

  • number nine nothing this is by far the most insane possibility as cdpr Netflix and Trigger would miss out on some huge momentum from critical success this means we never get a season 2 and are left with the closure that David is gone for good David lives on as a legend of night City who took on arasaka went toe-to-toe with Adam Sandler saved his lover set up Lucy and Falco up financially and made a name for himself as the legendary chume who flew over the edge

So many people have found it hard to believe David died, while so many people have found it hard to believe David is actually alive… In this short video, I'll break down everything we know about David's death at the end of cyberpunk edgerunners and what we can expect from season 2. The fact that you can order the david martinez in cyberpunk 2077 leads some to believe that David is confirmed dead but that is not the case. Who could've confirmed his death when Falco and Lucy fled before seeing him actually die? Falco's conversation in 2077 and finding David's jacket are also used as justification but are just as ambiguous as the drink in The Afterlife. So what are the possibilities for edgerunners season 2? Well, the story could: follow an entirely new crew, show Adam Smasher's backstory, have David become the next smasher, cover the time skip in ep 7, dive into Katsuo's story, mirror the story of johnny silverhands, and many other fan theories covered in this video!
