Ever since the teasers and showcase footage of Wuthering Waves was released, it created great hype and got compared to the juggernaut Genshin Impact. It’s described as a “story-rich open-world game with a high degree of freedom.” The anticipation has led to many wondering about the exact Wuthering Waves release date. Here’s everything that’s known about this free-to-play RPG.
Wuthering Waves Release Date News and Speculation
Wuthering Waves has an official page on Epic Games Store and it shows 2024 as its release year. However, it appears that there was a description added before it was promptly deleted and it said the Wuthering Waves release date is May 30, 2024.
The reason why they deleted this release date is unknown — either they would want to surprise-drop the game or the title could take longer than May 2024 to release.
Here are some speculations from Reddit that also support this potential release date. Some say that it’s a bit too early, while some say it’s the right time to avoid direct competition with Genshin Impact’s new content updates.
On Wuthering Waves’ Twitter page, it still says that the game is currently under development. However, the developers, Kuro Game, have been steadily releasing information and updates, keeping fans hyped for the adventure that awaits.
Previously, it had its first closed beta test on April 24, 2023, for PC, Android, and iOS. The closed beta was only available to players in US and Canada due to IP limitations and localization progress, so there might be another one for players in Europe and Asia in 2024. However, this is just speculation at this point.
In case you want to stay up-to-date with the latest posts from the developers, you can follow them on their Twitter, Facebook, Discord, and Youtube. You can also head over to the subreddit to stay updated.
Now that we’re in 2024, we’re sure to get more reveals and updates from the devs and there might be a surprise announcement of the Wuthering Waves release date on YouTube as well. We will keep our eyes peeled for it and keep you posted.
