Wuthering Waves x Edgerunners PV Is Everywhere and Fans Are Clearly Feeling It

At Summer Game Fest yesterday, Wuthering Waves officially unveiled its crossover PV with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and the reveal quickly set off debate among players. One notable reaction came from Makoto Sanda, the well-known Type-Moon author, who called it a dream collaboration that could genuinely move fans of the original anime.

Most of the conversation has focused on a more practical question: whether it captures the feel of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners convincingly. Judging by the reaction so far, the first thing winning people over is how naturally the anime cast translates into 3D. It sounds simple, but in practice that's where these projects often fall short.

Makoto Sanda's comments line up with that reaction. He said he had been waiting for this crossover for a long time, and after seeing the PV, he was impressed that the anime characters could be adapted into 3D models for the PV without feeling out of place at all. He also said he was moved by how the character setup feels like a continuation of the original ending. For people familiar with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, that is not a throwaway compliment. It gets at why the PV has resonated: the characters look right in 3D, and the setup appears to respect the anime's ending.

Chinese players, meanwhile, have been more direct about what stood out to them. Much of the praise has gone to the character modeling, with players saying the models look outstanding. That may sound straightforward, but it points to something important: at the very least, the crossover cast has made a strong first impression. For players already interested in anime-styled sci-fi action, that strong first impression only raises expectations for the crossover content itself.

The PV is drawing praise not just because it brings together two high-profile IPs, but because players think the execution looks unusually polished. Rather than treating the crossover as a superficial mash-up, the PV gives the impression that these characters were worked into the setting with real care. That is also why Sanda's point about the setup connecting to the original ending stood out. For many viewers, that suggestion of continuity is a big part of the appeal.

If you're a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners fan, this is a crossover to keep an eye on to see how that setup carries into the in-game content. If you mainly play Wuthering Waves, the PV at least suggests the team put real effort into the crossover models. What matters now is whether the final in-game content can live up to the emotion the PV is aiming for. For more updates, follow the Wuthering Waves section.
