Kuro Games has detailed the upcoming features coming to its award-winning action RPG Wuthering Waves in the Version 3.0 update, releasing on December 25th, 2025. Version 3.0 marks the beginning of the next chapter in the game’s episodic campaign, titled Chapter III, which tells an entrancing science fiction meets space romance story.
Spanning two acts in its initial release, players will journey to several new areas and be able to embody new resonators: Lynae and Mornye. Several new events, including a Persona and Sonic collaboration with SEGA, plus new weapons, Echoes, challenges, and so much more.
View the full list of updates below, with more details in the official patch notes:
- New Main Quests: Chapter III Act 1: What Burns Beneath Frostlands, Chapter III Act 2: Ode to the Second Sunrise
- New Region: Welcome to Lahai-Roi, a warm, humid underground haven deep beneath the Roya Frostlands. Following an ancient polar shift that made Lahai-Roi Solaris’s new pole, the changing climate drove the surface-dwelling Roya to migrate below. Long isolated, it became a refuge for extinct prehistoric life, which has since evolved into a unique and remarkably independent ecosystem.
