Wuthering Waves update 1.2: release time and maintenance details

Update 1.2 for Wuthering Waves is being released this week, adding another round of brand-new characters and story content to the open-world RPG from developer Kuro Games. Titled “In the Turquoise Moonglow”, the patch has a free 5-Star Resonator alongside a festive event in store.

The upcoming Resonators for version 1.2 are Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao, two 5-Star characters who have their own signature weapons in tow. Players can also look forward to a popular feature from Honkai: Star Rail making its way to Wuthering Waves, allowing them to store Waveplates that’d otherwise be lost.

Here are all the details on the Wuthering Waves update 1.2 start and server downtime.
