Kuro Games has officially unveiled the long-awaited Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration during the Version 3.4 Special Preview livestream, and it is shaping up to be one of the biggest crossover events in the game’s history.

First teased during the Version 2.3 Anniversary livestream, the collaboration is being developed in partnership with CD Projekt Red and brings iconic characters, locations, music, and story elements from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners into the world of Solaris.

What many fans expected to be a simple character crossover has instead become a fully-fledged collaboration event featuring new story content, a dedicated event zone, special banners, enemies, rewards, and even an official continuation of Lucy’s story after the anime.

Lucy and Rebecca Officially Join Wuthering Waves

The stars of the collaboration are none other than Lucy Kushinada and Rebecca, two of the most beloved characters from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

During the livestream, Kuro Games confirmed that both characters will appear as playable collaboration Resonators throughout Version 3.4.

For many fans, Lucy’s inclusion was expected, but Rebecca’s reveal generated some of the loudest reactions during the presentation. The collaboration banners will run for the duration of Version 3.4 and use a separate collaboration pity system from standard character banners.

Rebecca Is Free

One of the biggest surprises of the livestream was the announcement that players will receive a free copy of Rebecca. According to Kuro Games, players who reach the required progression milestones and participate in the collaboration login event will be able to claim Rebecca without spending any Astrite.

Free collaboration characters are relatively rare in major gacha game crossovers, making this one of the most celebrated announcements from the livestream.

Community reaction across social media was immediate, with many players praising Kuro Games for making one of the collaboration’s most popular characters available to everyone.

A New Story Continues Lucy’s Journey

Perhaps the most surprising reveal was that the collaboration is not merely a side event. Kuro Games confirmed that the crossover includes a brand-new story centered on Lucy and serves as an official continuation of her journey following the events of the anime.

The collaboration story takes place within Somnoire and follows the Rover as they encounter Lucy and Rebecca after a mysterious disturbance begins affecting reality and dreams.

This approach has excited both Wuthering Waves players and longtime Cyberpunk fans because it offers new narrative content rather than simply dropping characters into the game without context.

Somnoire: Night City Arrives

To support the collaboration, Kuro Games revealed a brand-new event area known as Somnoire: Night City.

Inspired by Lucy’s memories and the world of Cyberpunk, the area recreates the neon-soaked atmosphere that made Night City so iconic in both Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Players can explore:

• New collaboration-themed environments
• Special event challenges
• Story missions
• Unique enemies tied to the crossover

The visual design shown during the livestream immediately drew praise from players who felt the cyberpunk aesthetic fits naturally within Wuthering Waves’ futuristic setting.

Adam Smasher Invades Solaris

Another major reveal was the arrival of one of the most feared figures in the Cyberpunk universe: Adam Smasher.

Kuro Games confirmed that players will battle Nightmare: Adam Smasher, a powerful collaboration boss inspired by the legendary cybernetic enforcer. Additional Corpo-themed enemies will also appear throughout the event.

Many viewers described Adam Smasher’s reveal as one of the hype moments of the entire broadcast, with fans eager to test themselves against one of Cyberpunk’s most infamous villains.

New Weapons, Echoes, and Rewards

The collaboration introduces a substantial amount of new content beyond the characters themselves.

Players can obtain:

• Spectral Trigger
• Skull Thrasher
• Reminiscence: Nightmare Adam Smasher Echo
• Shadow of Shattered Dreams Sonata Effect
• Event-exclusive rewards and materials

The livestream also showcased multiple collaboration events, including:

• Nightmare Challenge
• Matrix Reform
• Instant Flashlight
• Gifts of Dreamchasers Login Event

These activities will provide resources, upgrade materials, and collaboration rewards throughout Version 3.4.

“I Really Want to Stay at Your House” Returns

For many fans, one of the most emotional moments of the livestream was the confirmation that “I Really Want to Stay at Your House” will be added to the game.

The song became synonymous with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and remains one of the anime’s most recognizable tracks.

According to Kuro Games, players will be able to listen to the song through the Heart Radio Channel and Archive of Melodies systems while exploring the game. The announcement immediately sparked excitement among fans of the anime, many of whom still associate the song with some of the series’ most memorable moments.

Community Reaction

Community response to the livestream has been overwhelmingly positive.

Across YouTube, Reddit, and social media, players praised:

• Lucy’s design
• Rebecca being free
• The continuation of Lucy’s story
• Adam Smasher’s inclusion
• The amount of collaboration content available at launch

Many players also noted that the collaboration feels surprisingly natural given Wuthering Waves’ futuristic themes and the upcoming focus on more technologically advanced regions. Similar discussions have been circulating within Cyberpunk communities since the crossover was first announced.

Rather than feeling like a simple marketing partnership, many fans believe the collaboration looks like a genuine effort to blend both universes together.

Final Thoughts

The Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners livestream delivered everything fans hoped for and then some. What began as a mysterious teaser has evolved into one of the most ambitious collaborations the game has ever attempted.

With Lucy and Rebecca arriving, Adam Smasher entering the battlefield, and Night City making its presence felt in Solaris, Version 3.4 looks poised to become a landmark update for the game.
