Wuthering Waves Reveals 1.3 Banners

Wuthering Waves has officially revealed the gacha banners for the game’s upcoming 1.3 update, including the first re-run to arrive to the popular action RPG. Since the RPG from developer Kuro Games released earlier this year in May, Wuthering Waves has introduced a wide variety of characters for players to choose from when building their teams. The game currently boasts 21 different characters as part of its ever-growing roster, as well as two different versions of the Rover. Now, the RPG has confirmed its next update’s gacha banners, featuring a pair of new characters.

With Wuthering Waves‘ 1.3 update set to launch later this weekend, Kuro Games has already given fans a taste of what’s to come with the next patch. The 1.3 update will introduce a new area for players to explore, with the Black Shores closely connected to the story of new five-star character Shorekeeper. The update will also add a new Echo for players to challenge, introducing the Fallacy of No Return within the new areas of the in-game map. Now, Wuthering Waves‘ newest gacha banners have been revealed ahead of the update’s official release.

With less than 24 hours remaining until Wuthering Waves‘ next update goes live, Kuro Games has officially unveiled the game’s newest gacha banners. The first half of the 1.3 update will add new five-star unit Shorekeeper to the game, running alongside four-star characters Taoqi, Yangyang, and Chixia. The second half of the update will welcome the return of Jiyan as the game’s first re-run banner, also featuring new four-star unit Youhu on his banner with Sanhua and Mortefi. The update will add three new weapons as well, with five-star Rectifier Stellar Symphony and four-star weapons Endless Collapse and Celestial Spiral.
