Wuthering Waves Version 2.8 Update Is Live Today
Starting today, the award-winning and The Game Awards-nominated action RPG Wuthering Waves launches its Version 2.8 update, transporting players to Honami City, a once-thriving metropolis now trapped in a mysterious time loop. Nature has begun to reclaim the skyline, while two new playable Resonators, Chisa and Buling, are drawn into the heart of the phenomenon and the secrets surrounding the city’s central Tower.
Chisa, a calm and analytical student from Startorch Academy, tackles every obstacle with methodical precision. Wielding her newly introduced signature weapon, Kumokiri, she carves her way toward the Tower at the center of Honami City’s anomaly. She is joined by Buling, the Spiritchaser Taoist, who wanders far and wide to unravel supernatural mysteries using her divination skills.
