Wuthering Waves Version 2.5 Update Brings New Quests, Features, and Steam Deck Support

Wuthering Waves 2.7 Arrives in October with Story and QoL Updates

Wuthering Waves is set to release Version 2.7, “Dawn Breaks on Dark Tides,” on October 9th. Kuro Games, the developer based in China, recently revealed details during a livestream about the upcoming content. This includes new story chapters and in-game planning tools designed to streamline character progression across PC and mobile platforms.

The free-to-play action RPG has garnered a dedicated following thanks to its engaging parry-focused combat system and open-world traversal mechanics. Version 2.7 aims to build upon this success by introducing two new Resonators, more challenging endgame content, and addressing long-standing user interface issues. The game currently averages around 11,500 concurrent players on Steam over the past 30 days.

Key Features of Version 2.7:

  • Story Expansion: Includes Main Story Chapter II Acts X and XI, along with the after-story quest “A Stranger in a Strange Land.”
  • New Characters: Introducing Galbrena and Qiuyuan, available through staggered Convene banners.

  • UI Enhancements: The event menu now categorizes activities into Featured, Recurring, and Permanent sections. The Gallery now includes an “Enemies” tab. The Terminal Swap function introduces the “Daylight Flintstone” Terminal.
  • Accessibility Improvements: Adds a global visual filter and “Eye Comfort” settings to adjust color temperature and brightness.
