Key Takeaway
– Lucy (Lucyna Kushinada) debuts as Phase 1’s limited paid banner, a Spectro Pistol main DPS specializing in mid-range monowire hacking mechanics, with Rebecca acting as a free-to-claim burst-support/sub-DPS pairing to enhance Lucy’s hacks.
– Rebecca, a free-to-claim Havoc/Electro Pistol character, supports Lucy’s hacking with direct combat synergy, featuring heavy shotgun/rifle animations true to Edgerunners.
– Lucilla, a non-collab Glacio Rectifier, joins in Phase 2 as a standalone limited unit, while David Martinez appears in the trailer but playable status remains unconfirmed; the crossover uses dedicated collaboration systems rather than new open-world maps.
Kuro Games has confirmed that Wuthering Waves is getting its first major cross-IP collaboration in Version 3.4, launching June 10 on PC, mobile, and PS5. Lucy and Rebecca from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are both joining the roster as limited 5-star Resonators, with Rebecca available for free… one of the more generous collab rollouts the gacha genre has seen.
Overview of the crossover details
The official trailer “Good Morning, Solaris!” dropped on May 7 via the Wuthering Waves X account, showing Lucy and Rebecca inside the world of Solaris-3 alongside Rover and the new character Lucilla. Lucy, full name Lucyna Kushinada, is a spectro-element pistol user whose combat style leans on her monowire for mid-range attacks and hacking mechanics. She headlines Phase 1 of Version 3.4 as a limited paid banner character and is expected to be the game’s first true Spectro Pistol main DPS.
Character roles and mechanics
Rebecca takes an entirely different route into the game. Current data points to her being a Havoc or Electro Pistol character built around a burst-support and sub-DPS role, designed to feed directly into Lucy’s hack mechanics during combat. Her weapon slot is Pistol for gearing purposes, but her combat animations stay true to the anime… expect the signature heavy shotgun and rifle work that made her one of Edgerunners’ most memorable fighters. Kuro Games has confirmed she is free to claim, with community leaks pointing to an event-reward distribution tied to milestone tokens or an event shop during the collab window rather than a standard daily login calendar.
Lucilla and other crossover specifics
Lucilla, an original Kuro character and Glacio Rectifier, also debuts in 3.4 as the non-collab limited unit, with Phase 2 of the patch as her expected window. David Martinez, the protagonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, appears in the trailer wearing his iconic yellow jacket, though Kuro Games has not confirmed whether he will be playable beyond a story role.
Gameplay integration
Rather than adding new open-world map areas, Version 3.4 integrates the Edgerunners crossover via dedicated gameplay systems centered on the collab characters. Leaked data points to a Tune Hack combat mechanic built specifically around Lucy and Rebecca’s kits and an Adam Smasher boss challenge that doubles as a usable one-piece Echo set effect… a direct nod to the chrome-plated antagonist of both the anime and Cyberpunk 2077. The Yaiba Muramasa motorbike, heavily rumored since the collab was first teased, is expected to arrive as an Expedition vehicle skin rather than a standalone map feature.
Background and context
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a 10-episode anime co-produced by CD Projekt Red and Studio TRIGGER, released on Netflix in September 2022. Set in Night City, the show revived the game’s player base at launch and pushed its Steam concurrent player count past 1 million. For Wuthering Waves, the announcement marks the game’s first external IP collaboration, and Kuro’s choice of Edgerunners as the debut partner puts it in direct competition with Honkai: Star Rail’s ongoing Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works crossover.
Banner timing and expectations
The collab banner is expected to run separately from the standard rotation for the full patch cycle. Based on how Kuro Games has handled collaboration units in Punishing: Gray Raven, reruns are unlikely, making both Lucy and the free Rebecca among the highest-priority targets the game has offered. The Version 3.4 Preview Special Broadcast, which will confirm character kits and full event details, airs May 29, 2026, at 19:00 UTC+8 on the official Wuthering Waves Twitch and YouTube channels.
