The 2.5 update for Wuthering Waves is slated to bring a healthy amount of new content into the game when it releases this month on July 24. The livestream hosts highlighted a variety of new content, including a brand new Resonator, a limited-time event, and the next chapter of the main storyline. Numerous quality-of-life improvements were additionally confirmed toward the end of the stream, continuing Kuro game’s streak of providing quality content to the players.
The narrative in Wuthering Waves version 2.5 kicks off where 2.4 left off, this time, centering on the long-time antagonist, Phrolova. While it is unclear how much of villain Phrolova will be during this update, according to the trailer, it appears the Rover will work together in some limited capacity. This idea is further supported by the reveal of Phrolova being the next playable Resonator, obtainable once version 2.5 goes live. According to the livestream, Phrolova is the only new Resonator coming in the version update, but there are three returning characters getting their rerun at the same time.
