Honoring Night City's Fallen: My Visit to Every Edgerunners Memorial in Cyberpunk 2077

I still remember hesitating at the Columbarium gates, unsure whether I was ready to turn a corner in a video game into a memorial service. Revisiting Cyberpunk 2077 in 2026, I had already seen the Phantom Liberty 2.0 update change builds, skills, and police behavior, but the Edgerunners memorials were the change that stayed with me. How do you even begin to mourn fictional characters who somehow felt more real than half the people you meet in Night City? The answer, apparently, starts with a quiet drive through Westbrook.

The Columbarium sits in the southern hills of North Oak, inside the Westbrook District. I reached it by following the far-right area of the map, though a fast travel Dataterm also drops you close by. When I arrived, the place felt peaceful, lined with funerary urns and plaques for many characters from the game. But tucked among all of that are several honorable memorials dedicated to the Edgerunners crew. Lucy created them after she survived the events of the anime, and the care she put into each one is obvious.

David Martinez — The Dream That Never Reached the Moon

David's memorial is located at the back of the Columbarium, on the right side. The plaque carries a sentence that still gets me:

“You didn’t take me to the moon, but you were there with me.”

I stood there longer than I expected. David Martinez began as a troubled young person and became a legend of Night City, but his love story with Lucy ended before they ever made it to the Moon together. Cyberpsychosis and Adam Smasher took David away, so what should have been a shared dream became a wound Lucy carried alone.

Gloria Martinez — A Mother’s Foresight

Just below David's memorial is a smaller tribute to his mother, Gloria. Her plaque reads:

“You were right. David reached the top of Arasaka Tower.”

That line hit me harder than I expected. Gloria believed her son would rise, and technically he did climb to the pinnacle of Arasaka Tower, but the circumstances were nothing like the future she imagined. It is a painful nod to the gap between a parent's hope and the brutal reality of Night City.

Rebecca — A Small Memorial With a Big Presence

Rebecca's memorial sits along the middle path of the Columbarium and is marked by the Edgerunner logo. Her holographic stand includes her distinctive headpiece and her shotguns. It is compact, loud, and immediately recognizable, just like Rebecca herself. One of those shotguns, Guts, can actually be found in the game, which lets players honor her in a more hands-on way. Why settle for a quiet visit when you can carry a piece of her into your next fight?

Pilar, Dorio, and Maine — The Only Family Lucy Ever Had

Just to the left of Rebecca's memorial is a joint tribute to the famous trio: Pilar, Dorio, and Maine. These three were the ones who brought David Martinez into the crew, and Lucy shared a deep bond with them. The plaque inscription reads:

“You were the only family I ever had.”

Nine words, but they do a lot of work. For someone like Lucy, who survived everyone, this memorial is not just a marker. It is an admission of loss and belonging.

To make the visit easier, here is the layout I followed:

Memorial	Location inside Columbarium	Notable detail
David Martinez	Back area, right side	Moon-related plaque
Gloria Martinez	Just below David	Arasaka Tower plaque
Rebecca	Middle path	Edgerunner logo, headpiece, shotguns; Guts obtainable
Pilar, Dorio, and Maine	Left of Rebecca	Joint plaque: “You were the only family I ever had.”

I left the Columbarium as the sun dipped lower over North Oak. The memorials are not just a tribute to the anime; they are a bridge between two versions of Night City. Even in 2026, after countless updates and playthroughs, standing in front of those plaques still makes me pause. Edgerunners brought new audiences into Cyberpunk, and these quiet markers ensure that the crew is not forgotten. ✨
