Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves (Chinese: 鸣潮; pinyin: Míng Cháo; lit. 'Sound Tide') is a 2024 free-to-play open world gacha action role-playing game developed and published by Kuro Games. Revealed on March 23, 2022, it was initially inspired by Death Stranding, with the aim to create a post-apocalyptic world where players can experience the fusion of new and old civilizations. The game developers drew inspiration from various sources, including Punishing: Gray Raven for its combat mechanics, as well as the Pokémon games for its echo system. Wuthering Waves has been compared to other titles of the genre such as Genshin Impact, but aims to place greater emphasis on its combat system compared to its predecessors. The game was released for Android, iOS and Windows devices on May 23 (May 22 in the United States), 2024, followed by PlayStation 5 in January 2025, macOS in March 2025, and Xbox Series X/S in July 2026.
