Wuthering Waves
"Wuthering Waves" is a new action role-playing game that's free to play, created by Kuro Games. It will be available on May 23, 2024. The game is similar to "Genshin Impact" because it has an open world and uses a gacha system. However, "Wuthering Waves" focuses more on fighting.
The game is set in a future where a disaster called the Lament has almost wiped out humanity, leaving the world in ruins. Strange creatures and monsters appeared after this event, but people learned to live with them and started rebuilding their society.
The main character, called the Rover, wakes up with no memory of what happened. As the Rover explores the world, they will discover new places and advanced technology, while uncovering the secrets of this new, post-apocalyptic world.
