Developer Kuro Games has finally revealed when exactly we can dive into Wuthering Waves and start trying to save the world. The game will also launch with more than just the default adventure, as there will also be Banners and events for us to obsess over.

When is the exact release time of Wuthering Waves?

Wuthering Waves will be released at exactly 19:00 PT on May 22, 2024. That is a global release, so you won’t have to worry about other folks being able to jump in before you just because they live somewhere else on the planet. If

Wuthering Waves release countdown timer

Our Wuthering Waves countdown timer is tracking the seconds until we can all jump into the game. Remember, when it first launches, there may be plenty of delays due to servers being smashed by players. There are over 30 million pre-registrations for the game, after all. If you want to get ahead of the crowd a little, you can always preload the game.

The first Banner and the characters that it contains are probably the most pressing things for players. The Banner will actually roll out in two phases. The first, the 5 Star Aero user Jiyan Banner, runs for two weeks from May 23rd until June 13th and will also contain the 4 Stars Danjin (Havoc), Chixia (Fusion), and Mortefi (Fusion). Then, from June 13th until July 3rd, you will be able to get your hands on the 5 Star Electro user Yinlin along with the featured 4 Stars Taoqi (Havoc), Aalto (Aero), and Yuanwu (Electro).

I am still undecided as to which Banner i plan on investing my luck into, as I will need to get into the game and see which element and skillset I think can be the most fun to play.
