What is Wuthering Waves?

Wuthering Waves is an upcoming free-to-play RPG that features open world exploration and action-packed combat. According to the official Wuthering Waves Reddit page, the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where most of humanity has been left on the verge of extinction. 

This is caused by the Lament which has led to monsters and otherworldly beings appearing around the world. It’s up to players to fight this threat and discover the mysteries surrounding the Lament. 

Wuthering Waves improvements

Wuthering Waves developers confirmed that they have made significant improvements based on the suggestions received from the CBT2. Here are some of the improvements they have made.

The developers have made changes to the Echo System which is one of the key gameplay aspects of Wuthering Waves. The developers are introducing a Data Merge feature where useless Echoes can be converted to random new ones. Additionally, if you use upgraded Echoes to receive new ones, some of the Tuners will be refunded. They also confirmed that Tacet field challenges will offer more Echoes.

Finally, Phantom Echoes once obtained can be used to change the appearance of any Echoes of the same type. However, the developers will continue to make changes to improve the Echo system in the best possible way.

The second area where the developers are introducing massive improvements is story chain progression. The quality of the cutscenes has been improved and changes have been made to the dialogues. The initial section of the story has been made a lot more engaging with the introduction of unexpected enemies that players are supposed to meet much later.

Kuro Games is also introducing changes to animations such as hair and lip movements to make the game feel much more realistic and engaging. It was also confirmed that Yinlin’s story quest has been completed and players will get to experience it on release.

The final improvement that they mentioned about was the Sound Effects of the game. The changes included fixes to how the sound worked during movement, weapon slashes, and cinematics. Sound is one of the most engaging aspects of Wuthering Waves and the developers want to ensure that it is at its best.
