The writers of Edgerunners have not confirmed whether the Wuthering Waves event is canon.

The crossover between Wuthering Waves and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a hit, allowing players to explore Night City as Lucy and Rebecca. Centered around the fallout from the Edgerunners anime, it's a bittersweet experience for fans. Especially if you were hoping for a happy ending for Lucy and David.

So it's no surprise that many of these fans would like the events seen in Wuthering Waves to become canon. More specifically, they hoped that the scene where Lucy and David were reunited would undo their tragic endings in Edgerunners and serve as a new ending for the characters. However, despite claims to the contrary, this is not true, as the writers of Edgerunners have set the record straight.

Wuthering Waves' cyberpunk event is its own thing, so don't jump into it looking for a new Edgerunners ending.

Bartosz Sztybor responded to a post claiming to have canonized the reunion of Lucy and David in Wuthering Waves. “No,” he says. “I’ve never confirmed that.”

Now some fans are taking this to mean he isn't. unconfirmed Because considering the number of writers working on the Cyberpunk series, it might not be up to him. That said, it's clear that his post about the event shouldn't be taken as confirmation that this is canon for the wider Cyberpunk series. In this case, he seems to appreciate the event for what it is.

Honestly, this isn't really surprising. It's highly unlikely that anything that happens in a crossover with another game will actually be canon to the original series. This is all for cross promotional purposes only. It sounds like the Wuthering Waves event gave fans what they wanted, which is neat but should be enjoyed for its own sake.

At least there will be another season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners soon. No, that won't change David's fate. sorry. In the most unsurprising reveal, the author really enjoyed making us cry, so expect more than that.
