Wuthering Waves 2.6: Story, Sanguis Plateaus, and Flight

Kuro Games has detailed the content of Wuthering Waves Version 2.6, “By
Sun’s Scourge, By Moon’s Revelation,” launching on August 28. This update
to the free-to-play mobile action RPG, praised for its dynamic combat and
open, post-apocalyptic setting, will expand the main story, introduce a
new region, and enable players to glide freely in Jinzhou and Black
Shores.

The announcement was made during a preview livestream, which also unveiled
two new five-star Resonators and a range of quality-of-life
improvements. Here’s a summary of the key additions and changes:

• Main quests – Chapter II continues with Acts VIII and
  IX, titled “By Sun’s Burning Hand” and “By Moon’s Fated Light.”
• New region – Sanguis Plateaus, a crimson-colored zone
  filled with new Echoes and secrets to discover.
• Two new Resonators – Augusta is the
  featured character in Phase I of the banner, while Iuno
  headlines Phase II. Each banner will also include signature weapons.
• Fresh Echoes – New creatures such as The False
  Sovereign, Lady of the Sea, and “Nightmare” variants, plus two Phantom
  Echoes, are being added.
• Sonata effects – Crown of Valor and Law of Harmony add
  new set bonuses focused on shield and heavy-attack builds.
• Tactical Hologram: Lady of the Sea – A new challenging
  combat encounter for players who have been participating in sim battles.
• Events – Includes area exploration, tower-defense,
  photo challenges, and a seven-day login campaign with 10 Radiant Tide
  and 10 Forging Tide pulls.
• Flight overhaul – Gliding can now be initiated with a
  single button press anywhere in open space, removing the need to climb.
• Exploration tools – Mineral nodes will now be displayed
  on the map, and creature tracking has been expanded to Viewpoints,
  Blobflies, and Frostbugs.
• Permanent modes refreshed – Hazard Tower gets Floors 3
  and 4, while Whimpering Wastes gets a “Burning Waves” mechanic tied to
  combat momentum.
• Interface upgrades – One-click reward claiming, new PC
  keyboard shortcuts, and a dedicated weapon tab in the Gallery.

  XeSS 2, and Nvidia DLSS 4 with up to 4× frame generation on supported
  cards.
