Major Update Announcement for 'Wuthering Waves'

On July 10, 2026, KURO GAMES will roll out the highly anticipated version 3.5 update for its open-world action RPG, 'Wuthering Waves'. Titled "The Will is Woven by Swords, The Dream Resonates with Songs", this significant update promises to enhance player experience with a slew of new content including story chapters, characters, events, and system improvements.

New Story Chapter: Journey to the Dream State and the Dark Realm

During this crucial release, players will be introduced to the new area 'Dream State: Dark Realm', setting the stage for an unfolding narrative full of intrigue. As players assume the role of the Outsider, they will embark on a quest to locate the missing character "Yayoi", alongside their sister "Hoho". The journey leads them to 'Dark Castle', a magnificent structure that houses a series of mysteries tied to a string of disappearances.

The latest story missions include the first and second acts of Chapter 4, aptly named "When the Mountain Rain Falls, The Wind Tower is Full" and "The Storm Calmed by Genryo's Voice". Successfully completing these missions unlocks additional content, revealing untold stories and rich lore around Yayoi.

Upon finishing Chapter 4's missions, players can earn a specially designed expedition bike frame called "Cloud Cloth Mechanized Rider", which reflects themes found within the new realm.

New Exploration Area: Dark Realm

Version 3.5 introduces players to a previously undiscovered area. At the heart of this realm lies the Mechanized City of 'Dark Castle', a stronghold designed to protect its inhabitants from ethereal tides. The area showcases a stunning blend of natural landscapes and mechanical architecture, encouraging players to delve deep into its secrets. Players can discover mechanics that allow buildings to transform into "Dark Mechanized Constructs" as they progress further into the area.

New area content consists of various features including "Fang Garden Martial Arts", "Acquisition Box", and "Meiji Wisdom Platform", which will all be unlocked in conjunction with the area exploration.

New Resonance Attribute: Conduction

With this update, players will gain the highly awaited resonance attribute, "Conduction". Outsiders equipped with this new attribute will utilize the power of the Conduction Gauntlet, capable of transforming into a shield, sword, or crossbow at will. This flexibility allows for dynamic battle strategies—whether it be freezing foes in their tracks or unleashing powerful energy attacks, players will experience an exhilarating and unique combat experience.

Introducing New Characters

Players can also look forward to newly introduced characters, starting with the high-profile 5-star resonance character "Yayoi: Genryo", voiced by Yui Ishikawa, representing the 'Annihilation' attribute. We also see the introduction of 5-star resonance weapon "Heavenly Deep Blue Void". Additionally, a new character "Hoho" with the attribute 'Concentration' will make her debut along with a 5-star amplifier weapon named "Evening Mist Dew".

Alongside these, returning characters such as "Rinne" and "Ryuk Helsen" will also reappear in this update, providing choices for players looking to enhance their lineups.

To celebrate version 3.5, KURO GAMES will host several events, including:

• - Area exploration event titled "Here Lies the Gap of Dark Realm".
