Wuthering Waves - 15 Things You Need To Know Before You Play

Free-to-play games with gacha mechanics are a dime-a-dozen these days, but very few have managed to capture the massive open-world exploration of Genshin Impact. However, Kuro Games' Wuthering Waves has emerged as a possible contender, packing a sci-fi twist and much more hard-hitting combat.

As the Rover, players venture across Solaris-3 following the Lament's destruction, seeking to regain their memories. They venture with the Resonators, who possess exceptional combat skills and can absorb Echoes from monsters to utilize their skills in battle. It makes the Rover a mysterious but considerable force to reckon with.

Several aspects of Wuthering Waves mirror Genshin, but more than a few elements make it worth checking out. Here's what else you should know before it launches on May 22nd for iOS, Android and PC (via the Epic Games Store).
