Wuthering Waves Version 2.7 Livestream: A Grand Finale to the Rinascita Arc

Wuthering Waves, the popular open-world action RPG from Kuro Games, just wrapped up its highly anticipated Version 2.7 preview livestream, titled "Dawn Breaks on Dark Tides." Broadcast live on September 26, 2025, the stream delivered a mix of epic story teases, new characters, quality-of-life updates, and event announcements that position this patch as the climactic end to the ongoing Rinascita narrative arc. With themes of shattered fates, eternal glory, and high-stakes battles, Version 2.7 promises to ramp up the drama while introducing fresh gameplay elements to keep players engaged.

New Resonators: Galbrena and Qiuyuan Take Center Stage

The livestream spotlighted two brand-new 5-star Resonators, adding depth to the roster with unique abilities and backstories tied to the unfolding plot.

Galbrena: A fiery Electro DPS character hailing from the Sanguis Plateaus, Galbrena wields a broadblade and specializes in high-mobility combos infused with flame-like effects. Her kit emphasizes aggressive playstyles, with skills that summon shadowy flames for area control and burst damage. She's positioned as a key figure in the story's "Three Heroes' Crest" lore, representing themes of sacrifice and rebellion.
Qiuyuan: This Aero support Resonator brings a mystical edge, using a rectifier to manipulate winds and provide team-wide buffs like increased crit rate and energy regeneration. Qiuyuan's design draws from ancient guardian motifs, and her abilities include summoning protective barriers that reflect damage. She's expected to synergize well with existing teams, particularly those focused on quick-swap rotations.

These characters not only expand combat options but also weave into the narrative, hinting at alliances and betrayals in the battle against looming threats.

Banner Schedule and Reruns

Version 2.7's banners are structured in two phases to give players ample pulling opportunities:

Phase 1: Features Galbrena as the featured 5-star, alongside a rerun of Lupa (a popular Electro sub-DPS from previous patches).
Phase 2: Spotlights Qiuyuan with a rerun of Zani, offering a balanced mix for both new and veteran players.

Weapon banners will accompany these, including signature weapons like Galbrena's "Flamewing's Shadow" broadblade, which introduces a new Sonata Effect set focused on crit damage and elemental mastery. Expect standard rate-ups for 4-stars to help fill out constellations.

Story Expansions and New Areas

At the heart of Version 2.7 is the continuation—and apparent conclusion—of the Rinascita storyline. The stream teased two major main story quests that plunge players into undercurrents of conspiracy, chorales from unknown realms, and a three-way free-for-all battle involving key factions. Highlights include confronting Fenrico in epic showdowns and exploring themes of rewriting fate.

A new explorable area, the Sanguis Plateaus: Three Heroes' Crest, was unveiled. This vast region features dramatic landscapes with deep seas, towering skies, and nightmare-level echoes that pose greater challenges. New enemies and echo sets, including "Nightmare Echoes," will test players' builds, with rewards tied to high-difficulty encounters.

Events and Gameplay Additions

While the story steals the show, Version 2.7 introduces several events to keep the grind fresh:

Lament Recon: Solaris Soldier: A standout roguelike mode reminiscent of Vampire Survivors, where players battle waves of enemies in escalating challenges. It's praised for its addictive gameplay loop and potential for high rewards.
Freeze Frame: Action Highlights: An aura-farming event focused on capturing dynamic combat moments, blending photography mechanics with action.
Parkour Event: High-speed traversal challenges across new terrains, rewarding agility and exploration.
Lollo Logistics: A rerun of the logistics mini-game with updated twists for resource management.

These events offer a break from the main quest while providing materials like Astrite and Tides for pulls.

The stream dropped three redeem codes for immediate use, each granting 100 Astrite:
