BODY: Solaris-3 is about to get a Night City makeover. KURO GAMES has confirmed that Wuthering Waves, its free-to-play open-world action RPG, will launch major update Ver.3.4 â titled "The Dream Unchosen" (éžã°ããªãã£ã倢) â on June 8, 2026, headlined by an unexpected collaboration with Studio Trigger's anime hit Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
The reveal trailer, dropped on May 30, leans heavily into the neon-soaked aesthetic that made the Netflix series a runaway success in 2022. While KURO GAMES has stopped short of confirming the full character roster, the trailer's visual cues strongly hint at appearances tied to the Edgerunners cast, alongside themed cosmetics, story content, and a limited-time event zone built around the crossover.
"The Dream Unchosen" arrives as Wuthering Waves continues to position itself as a serious challenger to HoYoverse's dominance in the gacha action-RPG space. The 3.x patch cycle has been aggressive on content cadence, and Ver.3.4 is shaping up to be the title's most ambitious marketing push since global launch in 2024.
For Edgerunners fans, this marks the property's second high-profile game tie-in following its various crossovers within Cyberpunk 2077 itself â but it's the first time the IP has crossed into a Chinese-developed, globally distributed live-service title.
The insider take
In Tokyo, the Edgerunners brand still carries enormous weight â Trigger's series is widely credited with single-handedly rehabilitating CD Projekt Red's reputation in Japan after the rocky Cyberpunk 2077 launch. A KURO GAMES collaboration signals that Chinese studios are now competing directly with Japanese publishers for premium anime IP rights, a shift that would have been unthinkable five years ago. Expect Japanese gaming press to scrutinize whether the crossover respects the Edgerunners tonal palette or merely borrows its visual shorthand.
