Wuthering Waves, the free-to-play action RPG from Kuro Games, is gearing up for a major content update with version 2.4 titled “Lightly We Toss the Crown,” set to release on June 12. This update introduces a wealth of new features, including a brand-new region, fresh characters, exciting events, and gameplay improvements designed to enhance player experience across platforms like PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile devices.
Wuthering Waves Version 2.4 Adds Septimont Region and Expands Storyline with New Chapters
The highlight of the update is the addition of Septimont, a mysterious new region that players can explore for the first time. Septimont is central to the unfolding story in Chapter II Act V: Shadow of Glory, where players will face the Great Agon, a pivotal event in the game’s lore. The narrative continues in Chapter II Act VI: Flames of Heart, focusing on the journey of the new character Lupa alongside the main protagonist. This expansion deepens the immersive world of Solaris-3, inviting players to uncover secrets and challenges unique to this region.
Two New Playable Characters Cartethyia and Lupa Join Wuthering Waves with Unique Weapons
Version 2.4 introduces two new playable characters: Cartethyia and Lupa. Cartethyia will be available in Phase 1 banners, while Lupa will arrive in Phase 2, each bringing distinct playstyles and abilities to the roster. Cartethyia wields the Defier’s Thorn, a weapon that complements her combat style, whereas Lupa uses the Wildfire Mark, adding fiery power to battles. Players can also expect to encounter new enemies such as the Lioness of Glory, Nightmare: Kelpie, and various Drake species, alongside new Phantom Echoes like Cuddle Wuddle and Fae, which can be collected and used strategically in combat.
