What is Wuthering Waves?

A free-to-play, third-person action RPG set in the open world of Solaris-3, where civilization rebuilds after an apocalypse. As the amnesiac Rover, you explore by climbing, flying, and riding a motorcycle, while fighting alongside Resonators using dodges, counters, and special skills.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy fast combat built around dodges and counters
  • +you prefer open-world exploration with flexible movement options
  • +you want a story-led, anime-styled single-player RPG

Not for you if...

  • −you avoid character gachas and limited-time progression pressure
  • −you prefer linear levels over open-world exploration
  • −you want multiplayer rather than a single-player adventure
