The award-winning open world action RPG Wuthering Waves is now available on PlayStation 5 with data sharing across PC and mobile devices. The console version will include content from the game’s previous updates, plus its most massive update yet, Version 2.0.
The highly anticipated Version 2.0 update invites players to experience the all-new continent of Rinascita, a nation of independent city-states, as well as new characters, character skins (for the first time), bosses, echoes, gameplay and optimizations.
In this version, Wuthering Waves also introduces a main story Shortcut feature, designed to help both new and returning players dive right into the new content of Version 2.0. Complete specific quest notes early in the game, and players will unlock direct access to the latest storylines and areas.
Two new characters are being introduced in this new update. Carlotta is a Glacio 5-Star Resonator who wields dual pistols. As the second daughter of the esteemed Montelli family Carlotta is matched by a sense of elegance. She is voiced by equally elegant voice actresses, Kana Ueda (Rin from the Fate series) and Jennifer English (Baldur’s Gate 3) in Japanese and English respectively.
Carlotta’s Resonance Ability is connected to gems as she could conjure pistols and bullets by channeling her Resonance Ability unleashing a barrage of crystallized energy and Glacio damage. At the same time her combat effects feature crystal visuals that shimmer like shattered gems with dazzling lusters, and when she unleashes her Resonance Liberation, a mirror appears reflecting her presence.
Meanwhile the new weapon featured in the upcoming version—Pistols “The Last Dance” shares the same gem-and-crystal-inspired design. The weapon is designed to align with Carlotta’s aesthetic and combat style, creating a perfect synergy.
The next character is Roccia from the Fool’s Troupe, who takes center stage in the main story. Her role in the Fool’s Troupe is an improvisational comedian, blending high-level performance with combat. She can summon small tornados when unleashing her Resonance Skill that pull enemies from all directions creating opportunities for her allies during battle. This effect can also be carried over to the next Resonator, even if you switch characters in its duration.
Roccia also has an intriguing stage partner: Chest Mimic—Pero. While Roccia could use gauntlets during battle, the heavy-hitting punches are more of Pero’s specialty.
Speaking of gauntlets, the new weapon “Tragicomedy” will also debut in this version. These gauntlets feature an asymmetrical design resembling a theatrical mask complementing Roccia’s identity as a performer.
Wuthering Waves also introduces skins and outfits for the first time for these characters:
- Sanhua’s new skin, an exorcistic adjuration
- Jinhsi’s new skin, a peach blossom
