I keep writing about these little (or not so little, almost 200 gigs??!!) gacha games I play that are more like if you said, “Okay, so how about Breath of the Wild but with nearly all women and also anime and a gachapon machine?” And it seems they’re evolving faster than Anthropic can lie about the capabilities of Claude. Wuthering Waves is one of them, which you already know. Because I wrote about it just recently and how blown away I was by the Lahai-Roi story arc.

Well, they did it again.

And by again, hehe, let’s jsut say, “it” and by “it” I mean, my peani… er, Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

If you’re like me and a billion other people, and you felt like Cyberpunk Edgerunners’ conclusion shot you in the face and farted on your corpse, boy oh boy, does Wuthering Waves have a surprise for you! Without spoiling too much about it: If you wanted closure, you can kind of have a little.

But, like in WuWa style, everything is sad in the end. For some reason. I don’t know, that’s just how they do things.

Did you also want to hear Johnny’s theme one more time, outside of 2077? That’s here too. For reasons.

No, I don’t think it’s hinting at anything.

Although it’d be wild if there was mention of V somewhere. Maybe there was. Maybe I missed it.

Once you get through the whole story though, which lasts, I’d say, around 4 or 5 hours (if you watch all the cinematics and listen to the dialogue) you can beat Adam Smasher’s ass over and over again in order to obtain parts to level up and ascend your completely free Rebecca?

Yup.

They give you Rebecca FOR FREE.

But I feel that’s more of a “Sorry, my dudes” from Studio TRIGGER.

I could write a whole lot more but you should experience it yourself. Consider it an epilogue to season one of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, with probably more crying, but maybe a glint of happiness?

That’s for you to decide, I guess.

No, I don’t think you have to go through the entire game’s normal story to get to it. The event gives you an “early access” button so that you can jump right to the it, but, in order to have Rebecca for free, you have to level up your account to 4 or 5, I think. The union level. So, you might have to play the game a little while longer than the runtime of the event. At least, if you want a free character in your roster.

Which you should. Because these devs are not usually all that generous with your pulls.

At all.

I’ve missed out on at least three that I wanted because the pulls are just that stingy.

Don’t let that deter you, though!

I honestly can’t wait to see what the heck comes next in WuWa, even if I very, very slightly favor Arknights: Endfield a little more, due to it being so much of a, “We liked Death Stranding, so we made it anime” kind of game.
