Wuthering Waves' Version 2.0 update, launching January 2nd, 2025, introduces the vibrant nation of Rinascita, along with a host of new characters, gameplay mechanics, and game modes. This update also marks the game's debut on PlayStation 5.
The update's centerpiece is Rinascita, a festive archipelago of independent city-states, previously isolated but now reconnected via sea routes. Players will experience the Carnevale celebration in Ragunna, kicking off the Rinascita storyline.
New exploration options arrive with the Gondola and Wingray Echoes, allowing for unique traversal of Rinascita's waterways and high-speed flight, respectively. Several engaging game modes debut, including Flight Challenges and Dream Patrols, offering rewarding gameplay experiences.
The trailer showcases new characters: Carlotta, Roccia, Zani, Brant, and Phoebe, with Phrolova potentially confirmed as the main antagonist for this cycle. Two new 5-star playable characters, Carlotta and Roccia, join the roster, and the main character (MC) is expected to gain a third element.
Beyond the confirmed features, leaks suggest additional enhancements, including a potential gender switch option for the MC and new battle damage effects.
