Since its release, Wuthering Waves has received both praise and criticism. Developers Kuro Games have taken this feedback and revealed today it will release Yinlin earlier and will gift compensation rewards as the team works to resolve pressing issues such as Echo development, optimization, and performance.
In a June 2 announcement post on the official Wuthering Waves website, devs revealed they are currently working on addressing issues that are causing concerns with the game we’ve come to enjoy playing—crashing, poor optimization, and performance aside. While several topics were discussed, the most significant include Yinlin’s release date, which has been brought forward from June 12 to June 6, along with her companion quest and improved Echo development to make the process feel less “grindy,” and for them to drop more adequate materials.
However, the Echo development changes won’t drop until Patch 1.1 on June 28. This is also when several other events will be released, such as the new area called Mr. Firmament, a new boss Jué, and two new Resonators Jinhsi and Changli.
In the meantime, a new limited-time event, Chord Cleansing, will be available where you can earn double Echo materials. Considering how hard it is to get materials to ascend multiple Resonators, this double-rewards drop will be highly appreciated.
Although the devs haven’t revealed the entirety of the performance, optimization, and gameplay changes coming for Wuthering Waves, they are looking into improving and releasing fixes in future updates for the on-combat control experience, auto-aiming, and auto lock-on, ghost touches on mobile, custom keybinding, controller mode experiences, combat design, and crashes and instability because they are “disheartened by [their] inability to provide a high-quality gaming experience.”
More about the changes and all the compensation rewards, including Shell Credits, Radiant Tides, and Forging Tides, can be seen in the official Wuthering Waves blog post.
