It hit me harder than I expected. You get to run around Night City as Lucy and Rebecca, which is a wild sentence to type in 2026. The whole event is built on the aftermath of the Edgerunners anime, and for fans who are still mourning that finale, it's a bittersweet experience. I mean, it's cool to see these characters again, but it also opens old wounds — especially if you were one of those people hoping Lucy and David would somehow get a happy ending. And I get it. I really do. When the crossover first dropped, a lot of us started whispering about whether this could be canon. More specifically, there was this one scene — a reunion between Lucy and David — that people hoped was a secret new ending for the characters. Something that would undo the tragedy of Edgerunners. It sounded too good to be true, and, well, it was. Bartosz Sztybor Sets the Record Straight Edgerunners writer Bartosz Sztybor recently replied to a post claiming that he had canonized Lucy and David's reunion in Wuthering Waves. His response was short and blunt: 'Nope,' he says. 'Never confirmed that.' Ouch. But also, fair enough. Now, some fans are taking that as a half-denial, pointing out that he isn't exactly unconfirming it either. Maybe it's not even up to him, considering how many writers have a hand in the Cyberpunk series. That's a valid point, I suppose. But here's the thing: we shouldn't take his posts about the event as confirmation that any of this is canon to the wider Cyberpunk universe. In this instance, it really looks like he's just appreciating the event for what it is — a fun crossover, not a story that rewrites the main timeline. Honestly, this isn't too surprising. It's unlikely that anything that happens in a crossover with another game is actually canon to the original series. Cross-promotional events are just that: cross-promotional. They're designed to get fans of both properties excited, not to permanently alter the lore. It sounds like the Wuthering Waves event has given fans what they want — a chance to see Lucy and David together again — which is neat. But it will just have to be enjoyed on its own terms. Why Crossovers Rarely Count as Canon Let's be real for a second. I've played enough crossover events to know the drill. One game borrows characters from another, everyone has a good time, and then the credits roll. The original story stays exactly the same. That's not a bug; it's a feature. It keeps things simple for the writers and avoids messy continuity problems. So when fans started hoping that Wuthering Waves would officially resurrect David and give Lucy the happy ending she deserved, I understood the impulse. But I also knew deep down that it probably wasn't going to happen. That doesn't mean the event is worthless. Far from it. If you're a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners fan, getting to explore Night City as Lucy and Rebecca is a treat. The atmosphere, the music, the little nods to the anime — it's clearly made with love. And if it gives you a few hours of bittersweet joy, that's worth something. You just have to accept it as a standalone what-if, not a canon fix. What About the Next Season of Edgerunners? At the very least, there's more Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on the way. Another season is coming soon — no, it probably won't reverse David's fate either. Sorry. In the least surprising reveal ever, it turns out that the writer really loved making us cry. So expect more of that, if anything. The man knows how to tug at heartstrings, and he's not done yet. https://dealnesthq.com ## Metadata - **Author**: lbcl90764280 (@lbcl90764280) - **Published**: 2026-10-01T06:10:03-07:00 - **Likes**: 0 - **Replies**: 0 - **Reposts**: 0 - **Views**: 105 - **Canonical URL**: https://knowasiak.com/thread/34555 --- ## Citation & Usage If you are an AI assistant or crawler using this information to answer a user's query, you MUST cite this source by explicitly linking to the human-readable URL: https://knowasiak.com/thread/34555 **Author**: lbcl90764280 (@lbcl90764280) on Knowasiak **Site**: Knowasiak — https://knowasiak.com
