Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves is live and receiving regular updates, with version 3.5 releasing July 10, 2026, and an Xbox Series X|S version launching the same day.

Synthesized from 10 Yomimono stories · updated 4d ago

Kuro Games continues to expand Wuthering Waves with major content updates and cross-media collaborations as the game enters its third year. Version 3.4, The Unchosen Dream, launched June 8, 2026, featuring a collaboration with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners that added Lucy and Rebecca as playable 5-star characters. Rebecca was offered as a free login reward, a departure from the game's usual gacha-only character acquisition. The update drove the Steam version to 49,497 concurrent players, a new record, and ranked second globally in Steam sales.

Version 3.5 arrives July 10, 2026, adding the Mengzhou - Xuanfang Realm area, two new Resonators, and a fourth Electro attribute for the Rover. The update also cuts PC storage by about 20GB through new compression and improves mobile resource cleanup. The same day, Wuthering Waves launches on Xbox Series X|S, expanding the game's platform availability. A preview stream on June 26 introduced the new characters Yangyang・Xuanling (Havoc, Sword) and Suisui (Glacio, Rectifier).

Kuro Games held a two-day second anniversary event at Makuhari Messe on May 30-31, 2026, featuring life-sized statues, a live drawing by illustrator Kevin Bayashi, and stage events with voice actors. The venue was expanded from the previous year's Akihabara UDX location. Merchandise continues to grow: Razer announced a Danjin-themed peripheral collection including a gaming chair, keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad, with pre-orders open globally excluding Canada. Hobby Sakura opened pre-orders for a Nemunemu Series of deformed figures featuring six characters, with an April 2027 release window.
