Hello, Rovers! I’m thrilled to bring you the latest updates straight from the development team about the exciting new content coming to Wuthering Waves. Currently available on PS5, this cross-platform open-world ARPG offers a seamless experience that spans PS5, PC, and mobile devices. Mark your calendars because on March 26, version 2.2, titled Tangled Truth in Inverted Tower, is set to roll out. Expect a host of new characters, maps, and gameplay features, along with an enticing reward—a complimentary 5-Star weapon for those who complete the Main Quest.
Now, let’s talk about what lies ahead in the new main quest. Players will venture into Avinoleum to unravel the mysteries surrounding Cartethyia and Sentinel. Reflecting on version 2.0’s storyline, we see the enigmatic Cartethyia and the missing Imperator hiding dark secrets. Version 2.2 unfolds with Main Quests: The Maiden, The Defier, and The Death Crier. It all kicks off at Beohr Waters, behind the Porto-Veno Castle, leading our Rover into an ethereal inverted domain known as Avinoleum, revealing long-buried truths. As you progress, you’ll discover the hidden past of Rinascita and uncover the real story about Sentinel. Completing these tasks will also reward you with a free 5-Star Sword: Bloodpact’s Pledge.
Introducing a fresh face in the game—Cantarella, a new 5-Star Resonator. Known as the 36th lead of the illustrious Fisalia family, Cantarella embraces her heritage with themes of the deep-sea and toxins. In battle, she deftly uses her umbrella to deploy toxic jellyfish for her attacks, drawing on a special energy called Trance. With Trance fully charged, she executes heavy floor attacks that shift her into a dazzling Mirage state, reminiscent of a dreamlike underwater panorama. With her Forte Gauge, she not only deals considerable damage but also heals team members. Her Resonance Skill, under specified conditions, can immobilize enemies, while the Resonance Liberation allows for extended coordinated attacks. Her Outro Skill will boost Havoc and Resonance Skills for fellow Resonators, offering a versatile edge in battle.
Another fascinating update in version 2.2 is the new Rover attribute: Aero. This expansion unlocks the one-handed sword for Rover: Aero, enabling agile aerial combat and team healing. When conditions are right, Aero Rover’s mid-air attacks can revitalize the team, and trigger the Aero Erosion Effect, flipping all Negative Status effects on opponents to your advantage. The Outro Skill further increases Aero Erosion’s power, and with enough battle energy, a mighty sword can be summoned for a decisive strike from above. Engage the Resonance Liberation, and Rover will not only inflict Aero Damage but also support teammates’ recovery.
In the coming update, players can delve into Cantarella’s Companion Story: A Fleeting Night’s Dream. The narrative takes Rover to Egla Town, courtesy of a mysterious letter from the Ghost Girl, leading to the Night of Remembrance celebration. At the heart of this unfolding tale is a girl in a red hat, who reveals the concealed history linked to Porto-Veno Castle. Join Cantarella on a journey to the Sea of Ghosts and unlock secrets that were meant to remain hidden.
Prepare for exploration in a new map—Avinoleum. Once hailed as a spectacular seminary in Ragunna, it now looms alongside Sentinel, nearly untouchable in the skies. This place bears the battle scars of the past with remnants of Tacet Discords from the Dark Tide outbreak. Gravity in this region defies normalcy, disciplined by a new gameplay feature, Gravity Adjustment. By harnessing Gravity Calibrators, players can manipulate gravitational direction to counter threats and unveil secrets.
Finally, celebrating the game’s immense success, Wuthering Waves hit an impressive milestone of 30 million downloads globally in its first month since release, earning numerous awards, including the esteemed PS Blog’s Players’ Choice. This triumph is just the beginning. With the game now embracing the PS5 platform, we’re energized to continue delivering riveting content for gamers everywhere. Get ready to dive into this gripping adventure with version 2.2 on March 26. Together with Cartethyia and Cantarella, let’s uncover the untold legends and hidden truths within the inverted tower!
