Wuthering Waves 2.4 release date
Based on your location, the estimated launch date for Update 2.4 of Wuthering Waves is either June 11th or June 12th, as announced officially by Kuro Games.
Starting from the launch of the next episode, enthusiasts of WuWa can expect to obtain Cartethyia as a fresh 5-star character. Her tenure will continue until July 3rd, after which she’ll be succeeded by another new 5-star character, Lupa.
Each episode spans approximately six weeks, so it’s anticipated that Episode 2.4 might conclude around July 24th. Whispers about Episode 2.5 are already circulating, but rumors for Episode 3.0 have even begun to surface, suggesting a new region inspired by some of the most iconic Final Fantasy games will be unveiled in it.

The launch time for Wuthering Waves version 2.4 will be as follows:

– 4AM British Summer Time on June 12th;
Kuro Games have informed us that the next episode of WuWa is scheduled to go live at 11AM (UTC+8) on June 12th.
