Set on the Lament-ravaged Solaris-3, the player character awakens with no memories. Venturing with the Resonators, they learn of humanity’s enemies, the Threnodians. One is to awaken soon, but the player can absorb different enemies and bosses, gaining their abilities for combat, similar to a “legendary hero” from the past.

How this all fits together remains to be seen, but there is the tease of other opposing characters, including those questioning whether the player will follow the rules or break free. We’ll hopefully find out more details about the plot in the coming months. If Punishing: Grey Raven is any indication, many answers will be revealed in post-launch updates.

Wuthering Waves launches on May 22nd for PC via the Epic Games Store, iOS and Android.

Players control Rover, who awakens in the world of Solaris-3 and joins the Resonators to combat the Lament, responsible for an age of apocalypse. The open world offers a variety of environments to explore, with several movement options like wall dashes, grapples and more.

Combat is very similar to the developer’s other action RPG, Punishing: Gray Raven, with parries, dodges, counters and more. There are several other unique mechanics, like defeating enemies and bosses to temporarily summon them in combat. Of course, like Genshin and PGR, it also has gacha mechanics for pulling new characters. Pre-registrations are available now, so stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

Open-world Action RPG Wuthering Waves is set to release on 2024/05/22 (PT) on PC, iOS, Android, and Epic Games Store. Pre-registration is now open on various platforms!
