Major Update for 'Wuthering Waves'

On August 28, a significant update version 2.6 titled "穿つ烈光、迎ふ月光" will be released for the open-world action RPG 'Wuthering Waves' from KURO GAMES, available on multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, PS5, iOS, and Android. This new version promises exciting content, including the introduction of two new characters: Augusta and Yuno, in a limited-time gacha event.

New Storyline and Characters

The update features two distinct main storylines, divided between the first and second halves of the content release. In the first story arc, the players will experience Chapter 2, Act 8, titled "Burned by the Radiant Sun", where the protagonist is invited by Augusta, the governor of Seven Hills, to tackle a monster-extermination quest aimed at protecting the citizens from peril. As the narrative unfolds, players will also encounter the mysterious girl Yuno, who will have a central role in the upcoming Act 9 of Chapter 2, "Under the Moon's Embrace", set to release on September 17, 2025.

New Hunting Grounds: Sanguis Hunting Grounds

The adventure leads characters to the newly introduced 'Sanguis Hunting Grounds', characterized by its unique terrain and constant turmoil. This area serves as the frontline where residents of Seven Hills confront the disaster known as the 'Black Tide'. Here, players will find the Tetragon Grand Hall, headquarters of the prophetic group 'Sages of Wisdom'. Strategically located, this venue allows players to survey hunting areas, deemed crucial for the fate of Seven Hills.

Detailed Overview of New Characters

1. Augusta (CV: Yoko Hikasa)
A pivotal character in the first half of the update, Augusta, once a formidable gladiator, symbolizes the strength of Seven Hills. She appears in the limited-time gacha as a 5-star Resonator with electric attributes, wielding a long blade capable of graceful yet powerful attacks. Notably, she can unleash a special skill during character swaps to provide shields to allies, enhancing her team's defensive capabilities.

2. Yuno (CV: Lynn)
Featured in the latter half of the update, Yuno is a member of the 'Sages of Wisdom' and possesses a unique ability to resonate with lunar phases, enhancing her prophetic accuracy. As a 5-star Resonator with kinetic attributes, Yuno uses gauntlets for swift attacks. She can boost her damage and recover allies' health using a unique energy system, making her an essential addition to any party.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

The update also introduces multiple system enhancements aimed at improving the overall gameplay experience. Notably, players will gain the ability to collect event rewards in bulk, making gameplay more efficient. The use of the Soar module will now extend to the new regions of Imashu and Black Shore, expanding the areas available for aerial exploration. Moreover, players can look forward to improved graphics performance for the PC version, ensuring a more visually appealing experience with better frame rates supported by NVIDIA's technology.

New Events and Limited-Time Features

In line with the update, numerous exclusive events are set to unfold, including exploration events like 'Hunt of Ash and Iron' in the Sanguis Hunting Grounds and a photo-taking event titled 'Shadows Wandering the Plateau', rewarding players for engaging with the new environment. Additionally, players can look for outcomes in puzzle challenges that involve tracking monster traces, offering materials and star voices as rewards.

Moreover, the introduction of the 'Tide Simulation', a tower defense-style content, invites a fresh iteration of strategic battles where players use traps to fend off attacking monsters rather than engaging in direct confrontation.

Anticipated New Content

Players should prepare for new combatants, including the 'False God King', 'Daughter of the Sea', and 'Colossaurus' as additional Sound Corps designed for challenging gameplay. Unique variants of these characters will also enrich the gaming experience as they become part of the Holotactics content, ensuring repeatable battles with exciting rewards.
