In December 2026, Cyberpunk 2077 marked its five-year anniversary, defying expectations with a flood of updates. The spotlight now shines on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the acclaimed Netflix anime that blends live-action and animation. Its success has paved the way for a DLC crossover event, bringing beloved characters like Lucy and Rebecca into Wuthering Waves as exclusive 5-Star Resonators.

The collaboration will launch alongside Version 3.4 of Wuthering Waves on June 8, 2026, offering players both free access via Steam and mobile platforms, plus console versions. While Xbox gamers may miss out initially, the partnership promises rich new content tied to the Cyberpunk universe.

Industry insiders reveal that the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is still on track for 2030—the game’s tenth anniversary—though development timelines remain tight. Noble Securities estimates a team of 135 expanding to 270 by 2028, with a budget of PLN 1.5 billion and a projected Q4 2030 release. Until then, players can dive into Wuthering Waves for a taste of Cyberpunk action.

Whether you’re revisiting Night City or exploring new collaborations, 2026 promises exciting milestones for fans of the franchise.
