Kuro Games has managed a huge upset. In the Wuthering Waves Version 2.3 stream, the studio announced a forthcoming collaboration with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the popular anime spin-off of CD PROJEKT RED's Cyberpunk 2077. This crossover merges the atmospheric barrenness of Wuthering Waves with the neon-lit mayhem of Night City, and fans are already abuzz.

The partnership is officially planned for 2026, providing players plenty of time to speculate and get excited. Although no concrete content was revealed during the livestream, the announcement was enough to cause shockwaves across both communities. With the magnitude and scope of both IPS, expectations are running high.

Kuro Games hasn’t dropped details yet, but fan theories are already flooding forums. Based on the tone of both universes, here’s what many are hoping to see:
- Playable Resonators based on David Martinez, Lucy, or the fan-favourite Rebecca.
- Cyberpunk-themed areas with futuristic cityscapes and underground tech hubs.
- Time-limited missions and story events exploring cross-dimensional chaos
- Exclusive cosmetics, from cybernetic outfits to neon-infused weapons.
These additions would offer a thrilling twist to Wuthering Waves’ combat and exploration, while paying homage to Edgerunners’ emotional and stylistic flair.
Hints Were There All Along and The Road Ahead
This reveal might not have been as sudden as it seemed. During the Wuthering Waves Version 1.2 player feedback survey, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners appeared in a list of recognisable anime titles, a subtle breadcrumb that now feels more like an early teaser. It suggests this collaboration has been in quiet development for a while.
Kuro Games confirmed that updates will be gradually rolled out throughout 2025, including developer blogs, teaser trailers, and in-game sneak peeks. This slow-drip strategy is meant to keep anticipation high while giving players time to revisit both worlds in preparation.
This isn’t just a flashy partnership, it’s a meeting of two emotionally charged, visually distinctive universes. Both Wuthering Heights and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners deal with themes of identity, loss, and survival in dystopian landscapes. The crossover has the potential to deepen the lore of Wuthering Waves while introducing Cyberpunk fans to a whole new gameplay experience.
With more updates on the horizon, now’s the time to keep tabs on Kuro Games’ official channels. As the lines between these two epic worlds begin to blur, one thing’s certain: 2026 is going to be wild.
