Apr. 17, 2023Wuthering Waves Closed Beta Gameplay Trailer Is Gaining Momentum
Wuthering Waves’ new closed beta test trailer showcases parkour-like traversal moves, intense close-up battles, new maps and characters, and more! This open-world action RPG is looking as immersive as Genshin Impact with elements of Nier Automata because of the dystopian feel of the desolate world. The closed beta test is expected to start on April 24 at 5PM PT / 8PM EST.
Wuthering Waves is the latest title by Kuro Game, the same makers of the highly popular post-apocalyptic RPG, Punishing: Gray Raven. Unlike its predecessor the action RPG will be launched on both PC and mobile platforms. After having awakened from a long state of hibernation, you play as a Rover who comes to the realization that a new world is here to stay with unique sights and techs to discover and learn. But it wasn’t like this a hundred of years ago when the Calament invaded your planet, corrupting the fabric of its very being. It was then that humankind almost lost its foothold in the galaxy.
Fast forward to today, the remaining survivors have moved forward with their lives to rebuild the things that have been lost. It’s even touted that the people, “find hope in the glories of the bygone days. They erect cities and factories. They sing the praises of restoration.”Amidst all of this, and as a Rover, you’re expected to bring back life to ensure the rebirth of mankind.
Wuthering Waves’ closed beta gameplay trailer reveals the look of Rover both the male and female versions as they make their way across the world. To do so, they need to rely on their parkour skills and items, both of which will have them jump at great distances and allow them to glide over a beautiful yet seemingly lonely world.
The next sequences depict larger-than-life battles against monsters of different kinds. In one scene, you see Jiyan, the Commander of Midnight Rangers, in action. While wielding his trusty green spear, he can hit the target in quick succession and execute a bunch of quick combos without any interruption. Jiyan can also perform powerful attacks in the air with the specter of a dragon he has conjured using his weapon. It’s an impressive feat, and certainly, one whom I’d like to party with in the future.
Another character who is showcasing her prowess in combat is Danjin, who is also a member of the Midnight Rangers. Rather than dealing huge bursts of damage, she moves like an assassin who is always quick on her feet to destroy enemies in the blink of an eye, similar to the blade-wielding Yangyang. Together, this colorful cast of characters is a force to be reckoned with regardless of what their expertise may be.
In addition to the companions you’ll be meeting along the way, Kuro Game plans to include cinematics in every boss fight. This will come alongside distinct environments to highlight their personalities. In doing so, they’ll also be able to craft a reactive and vibrant world filled with newly evolved forms of the Calament who are once again hell-bent on destroying the human race.
One of the most noticeable features of Wuthering Waves is known as the Echo System. Similar to the gameplay of Ender Lilies, you can absorb an enemy’s power to then use it for your benefit. This is a good alternative while you’re waiting for your skills to become active again. It also encourages you to experiment with different moves as a result.
Another good combat feature that’s being implemented in the game is the Concerto Effect. When a character activates a series of abilities in fights, a certain Concerto Energy will be saved. Once this hits a certain threshold, players will be able to swap to another character in the middle of performing combos. In doing so, they’ll manage to significantly inflict massive damage on the enemy while improving the skills of both characters. Not only is this beneficial in fights, but it also triggers beautiful action sequences, and therefore a visual spectacle, that won’t be seen anywhere else.
And last but not least are the monsters that you can interact with. Rovers can employ the help of gigantic creatures when it comes to fights by acting as decoys or tanks while small ones can replenish a portion of their HP.
The release date of Wuthering Waves is still up in the air but despite this, there continues to be a wave of excitement every time new details are being released. Here’s hoping that the launch date will be sometime this year.
