Wuthering Waves' Version 2.0 update, launching January 2nd, 2025, introduces the vibrant nation of Rinascita, new characters, gameplay mechanics, and a PlayStation 5 debut. This expansion significantly expands the Solaris-3 world.

Rinascita, the "Land of Echoes," is a festive archipelago of independent city-states, previously isolated but now reconnected via sea routes.
