Kuro Games has announced that Wuthering Waves 2.7 “Dawn Breaks on Dark Tides” will launch on October 9 across all platforms. The update was revealed during the game’s Special Broadcast as part of the Tokyo Game Show celebrations, bringing a substantial content drop that continues the main storyline and introduces new characters to the gacha RPG. You can catch the full gameplay trailer of 2.7 here. The Wuthering Waves 2.7 update centers around two new resonators: Galbrena and Qiuyuan. These characters will be featured across multiple banner phases, with Phase I featuring “From Ashes” and “Roar of Triumph,” while Phase II brings “Wanderer Knows No Far and Near” and “Between Light and Shadow.” The update also adds new weapons, including Lux & Umbra and Emerald Sentence, which will have their own featured weapon banners. Story progression gets a major boost with new main quests spanning Chapter II Act X: “The Bygone Shall Always Return,” Chapter II Act XI: “Dawn Breaks on Dark Tides,” and an Afterstory called “A Stranger in a Strange Land.” These additions should provide plenty of content for players who’ve been keeping up with the main narrative. The update introduces new echoes, including Nightmare variants of Viridblaze Saurian, Baby Roseshroom, and Baby Viridblaze Saurian. There’s also a new Sonata Effect called Flamewing’s Shadow, which creates synergy between Echo Skills and Heavy Attacks while providing Fusion damage bonuses when both effects are active. Quality of life improvements feature heavily in Wuthering Waves 2.7. The new Resonator Ascension Planner automatically generates upgrade paths for all characters based on your current SOL3 Phase, which should make character building much more straightforward. The Quest system gets a “Journey Log” feature that organizes main story chapters and acts, with plans to expand this to other quest types in future updates. The event system is getting reorganized into Featured Events, Recurring Events, and Permanent Events for easier navigation. A new enemy gallery lets you review detailed information about defeated foes, while the Terminal Swap feature allows switching between different terminals after completing the main story. Several special events will accompany the launch, including combat challenges, login rewards, and a photography event called “Freeze Frame: Action Highlights.” There’s also a platforming event and commission-based content to keep players engaged beyond the main story additions. For mobile players, Global Filter functionality finally arrives in version 2.7, alongside new Eye Comfort settings that let you adjust color temperature and brightness. Environmental interactions are getting expanded, too, with more resonators and skills able to interact with the world during exploration.It feels like you’re a Gacha fan, you’re having quite the season, especially with Endknight, HoYoverse’s new Petit Planet, Monster Hunter trying something different, and of course, the gta-like gacha game wars now in full effect.
