The Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover ends the way few people expected. In the finale of the limited-time event inside Version 3.4, The Dream Not Dreamed, Lucy Kushinada sits with David Martinez on the moon, the exact moment the anime never let them have. It is a quiet, deliberate goodbye that Kuro Games built around Lucy’s grief rather than around new combat content.
Quick answer: At the end of the event, Lucy reunites with David on the moon, he says a final goodbye, and the memory fragments dissolve. David remains dead in the Cyberpunk timeline. The reunion happens inside Lucy’s “memory frequency,” which is why both David and Rebecca glitch during their appearances.
What happens in the David and Lucy reunion
Anyone who watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners knows Night City does not hand out happy endings. The first season closed with David sacrificing himself so Lucy could escape, and the pair’s shared dream of reaching the moon together stayed a dream. The crossover picks up that thread and follows Lucy’s journey after his death.
In the final scene, Lucy runs to David and hugs him on the lunar surface while “I Really Want to Stay at Your House” plays underneath. David acknowledges that he is only a dream Lucy is seeing, then gives his last goodbye before the memory begins to break apart. Rebecca, unable to sit through the sentimental moment, pulls Lucy into a hug and vanishes too.
The glitching effect on David and Rebecca throughout the event is the tell. None of this is a literal resurrection. It is a reunion staged entirely within Lucy’s memory, which lets the story honor the original ending while still giving fans the moment they wanted.
The Edgerunners characters in Wuthering Waves
The collaboration was first teased during the Wuthering Waves 2.3 livestream on April 19, 2025, and Kuro Games revealed the full cast in a trailer the following year. Lucy and Rebecca both arrived as playable Resonators, while David appears as part of the story rather than as a confirmed playable unit.
| Character | Rarity | Element | Weapon | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lucy | 5-star | Spectro | Pistols | Collab-exclusive Resonator |
| Rebecca | 5-star | Electro | Pistols | Free to claim |
| David Martinez | — | — | — | Story appearance |
Lucy’s kit leans into the agile, hit-and-disengage fantasy from the anime, built around speed and her yellow monowires. Rebecca lands as the free 5-star reward, bringing a louder, burst-heavy style. The event also pairs with a neon, sci-fi cityscape that fits the Cyberpunk aesthetic.
Why the ending resonated with fans
The reaction spread well beyond regular Wuthering Waves players. People who do not play the game described the scene as epic, and longtime Edgerunners fans pointed out the irony that, of all the projects tied to Cyberpunk, this one finally delivered the closure they wanted. Comments ranged from praise for the emotional payoff to surprise at being moved to tears.
Since Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuted in 2022, its cast has surfaced across several games and projects, including Lucy’s run as a DLC fighter in Guilty Gear Strive and appearances in the Cyberpunk trading card game. The Wuthering Waves finale stands out for centering Lucy’s story and treating the reunion as the emotional core rather than a side moment, sending David off one last time on the moon they always talked about.
