Kuro Games’ critically acclaimed action RPG, Wuthering Waves, will officially launch for PlayStation 5 on January 2, 2025. The announcement comes as part of the rollout for Version 2.0, an update that introduces a wealth of new content to the game.
Wuthering Waves first captured audiences on PC and mobile platforms earlier this year, earning praise for its visually stunning environments and dynamic combat system. The PS5 version promises to deliver the same experience, enhanced by the platform’s capabilities. Alongside the new region of Rinascita, Version 2.0 brings additional characters, quests, and more, broadening the scope of the game’s immersive world.
Pre-order Bonuses and Free-to-Play Model
While Wuthering Waves remains free to play, Kuro Games is offering the Awakening Bundle for $9.99. This package provides players with useful in-game resources, including Premium Resonance Potions, Energy Cores, and Shell Credit to expedite progression. Pre-ordering the bundle grants exclusive bonuses such as extra Resonance Potions and Energy Cores.
What to Expect with Version 2.0
The Rinascita update will introduce new storylines, gameplay mechanics, and exploration opportunities, adding depth to the Wuthering Waves experience. Although specific technical details regarding the PS5 version, such as resolution, frame rate, and PS5 Pro support, are yet to be revealed, players can expect optimizations tailored to the hardware’s capabilities.
While the PC version of Wuthering Waves received a commendable 7/10 for its graphics, combat mechanics, and open-world design, criticisms targeted its voiceover quality, localization, and minor bugs. Fans are optimistic that the upcoming console release will address these issues, ensuring a more polished experience.
