Time flies, and Wuthering Waves has already reached its first anniversary! To celebrate this incredible milestone, developer Kuro Games hosted a Special Broadcast today, unveiling everything they’ve prepared for players to mark this momentous occasion in the upcoming game Version 2.3.
So what’s coming into Wuthering Waves on its anniversary? The list is actually huge, consisting both of special events, bountiful rewards, and even special banners. Let’s check everything that the anniversary has in store! Don’t forget to grab your freebies from the promocodes while you are at it.
We met Zani for the first time when just setting foot in Rinascita—now, it’s time to welcome her as a playable Resonator! By day, she’s the Montelli Family’s most trusted employee, but by night, she becomes the Blazing Nightwalker, a shadowy vigilante prowling the streets of Raguna City.
Walk the dark alleys alongside Zani in her brand-new character quest, “A Blaze in the Dark,” and uncover her mysterious past—along with her deep ties to Rinascita’s underworld.
Remember that free-spirited, romantic bard who helped us reconnect with Cartecia in the V2.2 story quest? Now, Ciaccona joins Rover’s team as a new Resonator, bringing her poetry and music wherever she goes.
Guided by Carlotta, Rover and Ciaccona set out to uncover the truth behind the mysterious “Golden Anthem.” This is a tale of artists, gossips, and truth-seekers—so brace yourself for a journey unlike any other. Travel through the poetic chapters to uncover buried secrets in a special event, “Your Summer Will Never Wither”.
