Wuthering Waves update 1.2 now available to preload with download size confirmed

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Wuthering Waves has become one of my favorite gacha games in recent times. The anticipation for update 1.2 is palpable, and the fact that I can preload it now just makes the wait even more bearable!


Experience the thrill of Wuthering Waves, one of the most exhilarating gacha games available! With plenty more excitement to come in 2024 for fans, we’re just a few days away from Update 1.2. Excitingly, Kuro has made it possible to prepare your download for Wuthering Waves Update 1.2 ahead of time, and they have also disclosed the file size.

Looking ahead, there’s plenty to look forward to for WuWa from now up until the end of 2024. Already, Kuro has revealed the characters for version 1.3, and they are Youhu and The Shorekeeper. These upcoming heroines have the community buzzing with excitement, but there’s a sad whisper that Camellya won’t make her appearance until after version 2.0.

Prior to the arrival of Youhu and The Shorekeeper, we have Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao joining us first. In just a couple of days, Wuthering Waves update 1.2 will commence, and if fortune favors you, you can preload the chapter ahead for an immediate start as soon as it goes live following maintenance.

How to preload Wuthering Waves update 1.2

If you’re among those in Kuro’s grayscale test group, go ahead and download Wuthering Waves update 1.2 immediately. However, please note that the preloading feature is exclusive to PC users, and the selection of eligible players is done randomly.

If your name is drawn among the fortunate participants who meet the eligibility criteria, you’ll be notified with a guide on how to download an updated version of the official game software in advance, as outlined by Kuro in their latest post. Here are Kuro’s instructions for pre-downloading:

  • Rovers selected for the gray box test will need to update their launcher to version 1.6.0.0 upon starting the game launcher. When prompted, please click “Confirm” to proceed with the update.
  • After the pre-download begins, a [New Version Pre-download] button will show up on the v1.6.0.0 launcher’s interface. Click this button to download the latest package.

Apart from the previous info, it’s been verified that the update 1.2 for Wuthering Waves requires a 23 GB download. Be sure to check your storage before proceeding with the download.

It’s unfortunate that the upcoming chapter can only be pre-downloaded by certain players at the moment, but rest assured, this limitation will likely be lifted for future updates, allowing everyone to preload. The reason for the selective access in version 1.2 is because it’s currently under test.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the anticipated update 1.2 is set to drop on either August 15th or 16th, depending on your geographical location. Kuro, our trusted source, has officially revealed all the banner characters and weapons for this update. Rumors have been swirling about potential buffs and nerfs for Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao before their official release, along with some stunning, previously unseen gameplay animations that are said to be “beautiful” to behold. Can’t wait!
