The popularity of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe continues to expand, bringing fans closer through various platforms and media. In an exciting new crossover, Lucy, a beloved character from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series, will join the cast of Guilty Gear Strive as a playable character. This update, version 1.48, is now available for players.
Welcome back to Night City!
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which premiered on Netflix in 2022, is a series set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 and follows the story of a young man named David, who must adapt to a future where technology and body modification are the norm. The growing success of the series has led to the creation of a second season, which is in development.
In her new appearance in Guilty Gear Strive, Lucy not only becomes a playable character, but also brings with her a rich emotional experience linked to the Edgerunners storyline. In addition to her own character, players will be able to find avatars of David and Rebecca, expanding the immersion in the anime universe. However, one of the most nostalgic aspects of this collaboration is the music; several tracks from the Edgerunners soundtrack will play during battles, including the popular ‘I Really Want to Stay at Your House’. However, it is important to note that this song will be available only for a limited time, although it is expected to return in 2027.
Fans of the series will surely appreciate the emotional bond that accompanies Lucy in the fighting arena, adding a layer of meaning to each fight. Guilty Gear Strive thus continues its tradition of crossing worlds, offering players not only combat, but also a deep connection to the stories they love.
