Kuro Games dropped an absolute bombshell during their Wuthering Waves Version 2.3 livestream on April 19, 2025 an official collaboration with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is in the works. Yes, you read that right. The hit anime that stormed Netflix in 2022 is making its way into the Wuthering Waves universe in 2026, marking one of the game’s boldest moves yet.

An Unexpected Endgame Reveal

The announcement shocked everyone during the final moments of the 2.3 livestream, as it was unexpected. The crossover confirmation is indeed a collaboration with Kuro Games and the creators of the Cyberpunk universe, CD Projekt Red and was revealed in a vague manner. These details are still covertly hiding, but those confirming statements were adequate to completely ignite the fandom.

What’s Coming in 2026

Though specifics are scarce, here’s what we can expect from the Wuthering Waves × Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration:

• Playable Characters: Rumors are flying about the inclusion of David Martinez, Lucy, and Rebecca as guest Resonators. While unconfirmed, these three remain icons of the Edgerunners series, and fans are already begging to see them in action.
• Night City Vibes: Expect in-game areas inspired by the gritty cyberpunk dystopia, possibly reimagined for the Solaris aesthetic. Think neon-lit zones, high-tech architecture, and all the rain-soaked ambiance you can handle.
• Themed Gear & Cosmetics: A collaboration like this screams for exclusive outfits, cyberpunk-style mounts, and futuristic weapons. Don’t be surprised if we also get a set of synthwave-inspired soundtracks to match.
• Time-Limited Content: Given the scale, expect limited-time events, themed challenges, and rare rewards that pay homage to the anime’s themes of rebellion, loss, and identity.

A First Crossover for Wuthering Waves

This marks Wuthering Waves’ first major crossover event, and it’s not just a skin-deep partnership. Kuro Games is said to be working closely with CD Projekt Red to merge both worlds in a way that feels authentic to the lore and aesthetics of each. That means high fidelity, deep storytelling, and style that drips with flair.

It’s also a major step toward global cultural crossover appeal, opening Wuthering Waves to new fans who followed Edgerunners on Netflix and likely vice versa.

Before the cyberpunk storm hits, players can jump into Wuthering Waves Version 2.3 starting April 29, 2025. The update includes new zones, powerful bosses, performance upgrades, and even the long-awaited Steam release.
