Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves is in its post-second-anniversary expansion cycle, with Ver3.6 arriving August 20, an animated series announced, and a global concert tour underway. The game continues to add content, collaborate with other franchises, and expand its merchandise and hardware presence.

Synthesized from 15 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Wuthering Waves entered its third year with a packed schedule of content updates, live events, and merchandise. The second anniversary was marked by a two-day event at Makuhari Messe in late May, featuring life-sized statues and stage programming, and a concert tour that began in Shanghai in July before moving to Tokyo in August. The Tokyo stop drew crowds despite heavy rain and featured songs tied to story moments, with the encore including a track commemorating the game's second anniversary.

The game's content pipeline accelerated after the anniversary. Version 3.4, The Unchosen Dream, launched June 8 with a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration that added Lucy and Rebecca as playable characters, driving the Steam version to a record concurrent player count. Version 3.5 followed on July 10, adding a new area and two Resonators while cutting PC storage by about 20GB. Version 3.6 arrives August 20 with two new Resonators and a programming language change that gives an average 10fps boost on iOS and PC.

Kuro Games is expanding beyond the game itself. An animated series, Wuthering Waves: Elysium, was announced in July, produced by a new animation brand under the company. A collaboration with Razer brought a Danjin-themed peripheral collection, and a Nemunemu Series of deformed figures opened for pre-order. The game also launched on Xbox Series X|S in July, broadening its platform reach.
