Wuthering Waves update 2.0: release time and maintenance details

Kuro Games has revealed the details around the Wuthering Waves 2.0 release, announcing when players will be able to download the update and dive into the action on PC, iOS, Android, and PS5.

The WuWa 2.0 banners will bring Carlotta and Roccia into the fray, but the upcoming version is much bigger than that – an entire new region will be added in the form of Rinascita. This includes brand-new Echoes, boss fights, storylines, and gameplay mechanics such as flight. You can read more about that in our WuWa 2.0 preview, as we’ve already been able to play – and you will soon follow.

Here are all the details on the Wuthering Waves update 2.0 start and server downtime.
