Wuthering Waves Version 2.2 will officially release on March 27, 2025. This update will continue the main quest in Rinascita, and will also introduce a new playable character, Cantarella, and her exclusive weapon!

Version 2.2 will run for a short time, about 30 days. It will end on April 28, 2025, and Wuthering Waves 2.3 will be available. The reason for this short version is that Wuthering Waves anniversary celebration will be held in advance.

Character Banners

Character Banners are divided into 2 phases. The first phase of the banner is Cantarella Banner and Camellya Banner. The second phase of the banner is Shorekeeper Banner, which will be launched on April 17.

Cantarella

Cantarella is the only new limited character in version 2.2. Her element is Havoc and her weapon is Whispers of Sirens. This is a Rectifier that looks like a jellyfish. This is the most suitable weapon for Cantarella at present.

Cantarella mainly relies on manipulating her jellyfish to damage the enemy, and can also assist off the field and increase the damage of teammates.

Although Cantarella’s main skill is to deal damage, she can also provide healing to the whole team through Inherent Skills, allowing active Resonators to fight longer. And Cantarella can also cause crowd control through Hazy Dream skill.

Cantarella’s unique ability to explore the world is to swim quickly in water and consume stamina at a slower rate. This makes it easier for some players to explore the world, because the upcoming area Beohr Waters may also revolve around crossing large bodies of water. If you have Cantarella, then exploring Beohr Waters will become very smooth.

Although Cantarella cannot play the role of the main output damage, she has many skills that can provide buffs to teammates and can serve as a secondary DPS on your team. If your team lacks such a character, you can choose Wuthering Waves Top Up to supplement Astrite and get Cantarella and her exclusive weapon Whispers of Sirens.

Camellya

Camellya is a Havoc Sword character, she is a main DPS Resonator.

Shorekeeper

Camellya is a Spectro Rectifier character, she can provide a very powerful buff to your team. She can increase the critical damage of teammates and provide them with healing.

The weapons of 2.2 update are all exclusive weapons for this banner character:

• Whispers of Sirens (Rectifier)
• Red Spring (Sword)
• Stellar Symphony (Rectifier)

These three characters are very suitable for forming a strong team, but if you are a new player in WuWa 2.2, it is a bit difficult to rely on the novice benefits to obtain these three characters and their weapons. But choosing a suitable Wuthering Waves Accounts can save you a lot of time and allow you to have enough Astrite to obtain new characters.

New Echoes

Version 2.2 adds a few new Echoes that provide various effects to your character:

• Reminiscence: Fleurdelys (cost 4)
• Nightmare: Lampylumen Myriad (Overlord, cost 4)
• Capitaneus (Elite, cost 4)
• La Guardia (Common, cost 1)
• Sagittario (Common, cost 1)
• Sacerdos (Common, cost 1)
• Aero Drake (Common, cost 1)
• Electro Drake (Common, cost 1)

There is no official way to get Reminiscence: Fleurdelys yet. However, you should be able to get Echoes by defeating Fleurdelys! Nightmare: Lampylumen Myriad is obtained by defeating Lampylumen Myriad. The other Echoes can be obtained by defeating monsters in the wild.

• Inverted Seminary
• Tower of Salvation
• Path of Bestowal
• Zargon Garden

New Game Content

After learning about the specific release date of WuWa 2.0, let’s learn about what new game content and functional changes will appear in this new version. However, it is worth reminding you that the following content is based on the information currently leaked and does not represent the final result. Everything is subject to the official release.

New Character Banner

Wuthering Waves will release some five-star and four-star characters in version 2.0, including the previously appeared Rinascita character. Like all previous updates, all new character banners will be introduced into the game in two phases. The following are the specific times of the two phases and the characters that will appear.

Phase 1 (January 2 - January 23)

• Carlotta (5-Star): Glacio, Pistols
• Zhezhi (5-Star): Glacio, Rectifier
• Sanhua (4-Star): Glacio, Sword
• Chixia (4-Star): Fusion, Pistols
• Mortefi (4-Star): Fusion, Pistols

Phase 2 (January 23 - February 12)

• Roccia (5-Star): Havoc, Gauntlet
• Jinhsi (5-Star): Spectro, Broadblade
• Danjin (4-Star): Havoc, Sword
• Youhu (4-Star): Glacio, Gauntlet
• Yuanwu (4-Star): Electro, Gauntlet

Although it seems that there are only Glacio and Fusion characters in the first stage, once you enter the second stage, the elements you can choose from will be more diverse, such as you can choose the new Rinascita character or Huanglong character.

If you are a player who is happy to play a supplementary role in the team, then Zhezhi will be your best choice because her off-field damage is very strong. But if you want to rely on yourself to deal with strong damage, you can choose Jinhsi character, which has the best DPS unit in the game.

A Wider Region To Explore

As mentioned earlier, in WuWa 2.0, players will start all their explorations in a region called Rinascita. In this region, there are 8 completely distinct biomes, each with its own unique landscape, culture and intrigue. Not only that, the main city, Ragunna in this region is full of carnival atmosphere, and the local population is also very rich and diverse, and you will even see Echoes playing everyday roles.

Here, you will explore conflicting factions such as Order of the Deep, Fool’s Troupe and the Montelli family, which lay a solid foundation for the intense political drama presented by the game.

New Utilities

In version 2.0, the way you explore Rinascita has also changed greatly because of the addition of new utilities - you can use some flying tools to soar into the sky. In addition, in Echoes with unique city features, such as Wingray and Gondola, you can use water sliding and waterfall climbing to increase the depth of exploration.

More Story-Driven Plot

Besides new areas, Wuthering Waves 2.0 also introduces some dynamic storylines, combining those thrilling combat actions with more interesting exploration, allowing players to conduct more immersive exploration.

It is worth mentioning here that you do not need to complete all the previous missions (only Act 3 of Chapter 1) to access the storyline in version 2.0, which ensures that whether you are a new player or a returning player, you can get a seamless gaming experience. At the same time, the new Carlotta and Roccia character story missions also add more depth to the entire storyline.

More Generous Rewards

The developers have publicly stated that there will be more events in Wuthering Waves 2.0, such as Tales of the Isles, Trace of Tides and other cooperative events. These events can provide players with very important Echoes rewards and exclusive items, such as the limited 4-star Rectifier. In addition to the above, the players’ dream of Sanhua’s new outfit will also be provided to all players as a free reward, which adds an exciting aesthetic style to the game.

The above is all the information we know about Wuthering Waves 2.0. There are also some quality of life updates, such as you can customize the background music for a personalized experience and a UI-free gaming experience, which will make your gaming experience in this new version more comfortable. I hope you can have fun playing in this new version!
