Evelyn Parker’s Braindance sequence that includes Adam nonetheless sends shivers up the spines of many gamers due to how powerless he made them really feel, together with Smasher’s crude feedback in the direction of Evelyn.
Seeing this cybernetic monster return in Edgerunners could be a deal with for gamers. And with Adam having many enemies (each alive, lifeless, and in our on-line world), there’s a terrific probability of him showing.
Misty Olszewski
Misty was a relentless protected haven for V and clearly Jackie. Her religious perception guided V by their chaotic time in Evening Metropolis. Upon the primary introduction, Misty could look like nothing greater than a futuristic hippie, however over the course of the sport she begins to develop on gamers and also you perceive what Jackie noticed in her.
Fortunately, the percentages of her exhibiting up are pretty excessive contemplating her recognition and the place the story of the sport ends. For instance, the principle character of Edgerunners; David, may simply stumble into her store sooner or later throughout the occasions of the present.
Dexter DeShawn
Dexter DeShawn performed the function of the untrustable but charming fixer that you simply needed to hold round. Positive, he betrays V as quickly as issues hit the fan, however in his protection, he was making an attempt to cowl his tracks after the plan went south. Regardless, Dex is a well-written/ and attention-grabbing character that gamers sadly didn’t get to know very properly.
Relying on the timeline of Edgerunners, it could be cool to see him pulling strings once more within the background.
Rouge

From trying to sabotage the rising careers of US Cracks to lastly confronting the demons of his previous, Kerry takes V on a wild journey throughout their time collectively. What makes Kerry so enduring is that he breaks the has-been rocker archetype. Buried beneath his satan could care character is years of trauma, disgrace, remorse, and a eager for the previous.
Couple that along with his ties to Johnny Silverhand, and Kerry turns into one of many extra advanced characters inside Cyberpunk’s solid. Right here’s hoping followers can witness extra misadventures from the growing older rocker.

His stoic and out-of-place demeanor whereas in Evening Metropolis is a pleasure to observe as. Even his random messages had been extraordinarily entertaining to learn when outdoors of missions.
Throughout their time collectively, Goro and V appear to develop mutual respect for one another. That is even seen in one of many attainable endings the place Goro involves test on V after they provide Araska an opportunity to avoid wasting their life.
