'Good morning, Solaris!' That is how Kuro Games chose to open its first proper look at the Wuthering Waves and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover, and the greeting does exactly what a good trailer should: it wakes players up and leaves them with more questions than answers. The collaboration is slated for June 2026, and Kuro has confirmed two playable five-star Resonators: Lucy and Rebecca. Both are collaboration-exclusive, which is a polite way of saying they may vanish once their banners end. Rebecca, at least, can be claimed for free during the event. That is, no joke, one of the friendlier moves a gacha game has made with a crossover this year.
Two Edgerunners, One Solaris
The trailer, revealed on May 7, 2026, shows Lucy and Rebecca arriving in Lahai-Roi and rubbing shoulders with Rover, Lynae, and the rest of the Solaris crowd. It is a quick, stylish introduction, and Kuro is playing its cards close to its chest. There is still no confirmed information about the pair's weapons or attributes, which means fans are already doing what fans do best: reading tea leaves and arguing about team compositions.
| Character | Rarity | Availability | Trailer tease |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucy | Five-star | Collaboration-exclusive banner | Uses her signature wires |
| Rebecca | Five-star | Collaboration-exclusive banner, free to claim during the event | Mows down targets with a machine gun |
Rebecca's free status is a big deal. Limited crossovers often ask players to commit premium currency to every banner, so a free five-star takes some of the sting out of the collaboration-exclusive label. Lucy, meanwhile, looks like the banner headliner, and her wire-based fighting style from the Edgerunners show could translate neatly into a crowd-control or mobility-focused kit. That is speculation, not confirmation, but the trailer certainly winks at Edgerunners fans by putting those tools front and center.
The Trailer Is Doing a Lot of Heavy Lifting
Honestly, the preview is packed with small nods. Night City peeks through in the opening seconds, and David briefly appears in his iconic yellow jacket near the end. Kuro has not confirmed whether David or Night City will play a larger role in the event, and only Lucy and Rebecca have been announced as playable characters so far. Still, the cameo is enough to get the theory mill spinning.
The final line adds another layer. Stan notes that Lucy has her sights set on the moon, but she will have to pick one first, with Earth's moon and David shown last. That could be a simple reference to the Edgerunners story, or it could be Kuro planting a lore seed about the state of the moon in Solaris. Fans have been chewing on that one since the trailer dropped, and the answer may not arrive until the event goes live.
What Players Should Watch For
With the collaboration scheduled for June 2026, the next few weeks are likely to bring character kits, weapon details, and banner dates. Until then, players can prepare by saving currency, checking official channels for confirmation, and keeping expectations flexible. Collaboration-exclusive characters are a limited-time promise, and if Kuro follows the usual pattern, Lucy and Rebecca may not return after their banners close.
That makes the free Rebecca claim especially valuable. It gives every player a piece of the crossover without asking for a single pull, while Lucy becomes the premium prize for collectors and Edgerunners enthusiasts. It is a familiar gacha dance, but the Cyberpunk flavor makes it feel a little sharper and a little more neon.
For now, the crossover is a tasty appetizer: two confirmed five-stars, one free character, a stack of trailer clues, and a June 2026 window. Kuro has not shown its full hand yet, and that is probably the point. Solaris is about to get a little more chrome, a little more attitude, and a lot more machine-gun fire. Players will find out soon enough whether the moon has other plans.",

This discussion is informed by Destructoid, a long-running games outlet known for blending news coverage with sharp commentary on live-service trends. In the case of Wuthering Waves and its Cyberpunk: Edgerunners event, that perspective is especially useful for judging how a free five-star like Rebecca can soften banner pressure while still keeping Lucy positioned as the collaboration’s premium draw.
