Wuthering Waves update 1.2 start time, release date countdown with all banners

As an ardent gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the hype around Wuthering Waves is palpable. With its impending update 1.2 launch just days away, the anticipation among fans like myself has reached a fever pitch. The countdown to the release date and start time has been ticking away mercilessly, leaving us all on tenterhooks.


As a passionate enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement as Wuthering Waves, one of the most sought-after gacha games, has swiftly risen to fame in the gaming community. Just recently, this captivating game has officially launched on both mobile and PC platforms, with Kuro, the developer, promising even grander ambitions for its future.

1.2 is about to follow closely, but it’s 1.3 that has fans buzzing due to the confirmed characters. In 1.3, we can expect both Youhu and The Shorekeeper, while this year also brings the exciting launch of WuWa on PlayStation 5 systems.

Although there’s no announced launch date for WuWa on PS5 yet, the eagerly-anticipated Wuthering Waves update 1.2 is set for release tomorrow. The clock is almost up on the release date and countdown, and fans can soon enjoy playing as Zhezhi, with Xiangli Yao being accessible next month.

Wuthering Waves update 1.2 release date

According to Kuro’s confirmation, the Wuthering Waves update will be launched on August 15th.

Zhezhi is set to appear once the latest WuWa chapter has been released. In the meantime, you’ll need to hold off until September 7th to acquire Xiangli Yao. These two new playable characters from Kuro have generated a lot of excitement, and they both promise to be quite intriguing.
