Wuthering Waves is a gacha game that’s earned comparisons to Genshin Impact thanks to its similar anime style. However, this open-world RPG comes from developer Kuro Games, not HoYoverse. In addition to the story-rich environment, the game incorporates light Souls-like elements to create engaging combat. It’s a combination that works, making the game one of 2024’s most popular mobile titles and earning it a Very Positive rating on Steam. And like any good live-service game, Wuthering Waves gets frequent updates with new content for players to enjoy.
With the 2.4 update, Wuthering Waves expanded its story and added new character banners. These are all perfect reasons for players to pick up the free-to-play game for the first time or come back after a hiatus. Since Wuthering Waves just came out last year, it’s still easy enough for new players to get caught up on the story. That could be part of what’s got even more new fans flocking to the game following this latest big update. Of course, that 7-Day Login Event with plenty of shiny free in-game currency doesn’t hurt, either.
What’s New in Wuthering Waves Version 2.4
The 2.4 update is formally called “Lightly We Toss the Crown.” It adds plenty of new seasonal and permanent content to Wuthering Waves and is available on all platforms as of June 11th.
With this update, Wuthering Waves gets two new 5-Star Resonators (characters), the Aero Swrd Carthethyia and the Fusion Broadblade Lupa. Along with the new characters come two new on-theme weapons, the new 5-star Defiar’s Thorn Sword and 5-star Wildfire Mark Broadblade.
Version 2.4 adds the new Septimont region to Wuthering Waves, as well. This area is accessible during the Main Quest Chapter II Act V “Shadow of Glory,” one of the new stories added with this update. Once they arrive in Septimont, players will unlock a new way to explore and will be able to enjoy new Septimont area events.
