Wuthering Waves is tuning up for an electrifying anniversary celebration, and it’s going full symphony mode with the Version 2.3 update: Fiery Arpeggio of Summer Reunion. Scheduled to drop on April 29, 2025, this milestone patch doesn’t just commemorate the game’s first year — it builds on everything fans love about the WuWa universe with new Resonators, weapons, Echoes, events, and more.

Let’s start with the heavy hitters. Two brand-new 5-star Resonators are joining the roster:
Each gets a spotlight in their respective banner phases. Here’s the rundown:
Whether you’re a min-maxer optimizing for synergy or a lore-lover chasing character stories, these new Resonators offer new playstyles and depth.
This isn’t just another update — it's Wuthering Waves' 1st Anniversary, and Kuro Games is treating players to a fan-favorite mechanic: the Anniversary Convene, a flexible gacha system where you choose your target 5-Star.
Want that elusive drop? You’ll be able to change targets mid-banner and even grab select Wavebands from the Afterglow Coral Store.
Pro Tip: You can redeem up to two of each featured 5-star before they’re gone for good.
The Echo system gets some serious upgrades in this patch. The highlight? The introduction of Phantom Echoes, ultra-rare enhancements that elevate Resonator abilities to new heights.
Echo hunters will find new build paths opening up, perfect for theorycrafters and late-game grinders.
There’s no shortage of things to do in Version 2.3. Here’s a quickfire list of major events, many with free pulls, cosmetics, or materials:
Kuro Games even threw in a special 30-pull login gift (Radiant Tide x10, Forging Tide x10, Lustrous Tide x10) to apologize for underwhelming parts of the anniversary livestream. It’s a classy move and a freebie fest for all players.
If you’ve been grinding long enough, you know it’s not all about banners. Version 2.3 adds some clutch behind-the-scenes enhancements:
During the closing moments of the Version 2.3 livestream, Kuro Games hit us with a curveball reveal: Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, slated for 2026.
Now, let’s pause for a second and unpack what this means. It’s not just a skin bundle or a one-off nod — we’re talking about a full-on collaboration with one of the most emotionally charged, stylistically bold anime adaptations in recent years. Edgerunners, set in the neon-drenched chaos of Night City, is known for its raw emotion, violent beauty, and existential themes — a tone that fits surprisingly well with WuWa’s haunting world and operatic storytelling.
While Kuro Games hasn’t dropped the full payload yet — no character previews, no confirmed gear or missions — there’s already a cybersurge of speculation in the Rover community. Expect gritty aesthetics and a story crossover that could shake Solaris-3 to its core.
Version 2.3 of Wuthering Waves is ambitious, heartfelt, and packed with gameplay-forward design. While some fans voiced mixed reactions to the initial reveal, the content speaks for itself. Whether you’re here for new meta builds or immersive lore, there’s plenty to explore.
But here’s the thing — as mobile games like WuWa evolve and compete for player engagement, understanding how players interact with your game becomes just as important as what you put in it.
