Wuthering Waves 1.1 patch notes today – All changes in the Thaw of Eons update

Wuthering Waves Version 1.1, Thaw of Eons, is the most significant content patch for the title since launch and has brought a slew of new Echoes, map changes, bugfixes, and, of course, two highly desired Resonators: Jinhsi and Changli.

Here’s everything in the Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 update.

When will Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 go live?

Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 Thaw of Eons went live after the developers’ planned server maintenance on June 27, which began at 3pm PST and ended around 11pm PST.

Servers were down for around eight hours as the Wuthering Waves dev team prepared to launch Version 1.1. The update wasn’t too extensive, but it was significant for mobile devices at just over 8GB. So, if you’re on a mobile device and still need to download the Version 1.1 update, be sure your device has enough storage.

What’s in Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 Thaw of Eons?

Mt. Firmament spawns off the Whining Aix’s Mire

Wuthering Waves’ first new map area is off the coast of the Whining Aix’s Mire, featuring new area events, quests, and scenes. There are also new mechanics you need to master, including the Chronosorter, which alters the flow of time in a small area; a Leap Device, which allows you to jump to substantial heights; and new Echo challenges that help you break through barriers or be the missing piece in a puzzle.

Jinhsi, the Magistrate of Jinzhou, is live

Jinhsi is one of the most anticipated Resonators to drop in Version 1.1 due to the cliffhanger the story left us on. Hype also built after the incredible Version 1.1 preview video featuring Jinhsi, which teased how she became the Magistrate and how Jinhsi learned of her destiny to battle against Sentinel Jué.

You can now find Jinhsi’s banner, Thawborn Renewal, in the Wuthering Waves convene. As this is a featured Resonator banner, you’ll need to spend Radiant Tides to draw it. This banner will end on July 22 at 10am (on your server time).

New in-store draw bundles

One of the store’s lacking features was the limited number of bundles. However, in Version 1.1, two new premium bundles have been added: The Magisterial Radiant Aid Bundle and the Magisterial Forging Aid Bundle. Both are priced at $10 and limited to two purchases.

The Radiant Aid bundle contains five Radiant Tides and 400 Astrite, and the Forging Aid bundle contains five Forging Tides and 400 Astrite. For those who are okay with spending money on Wuthering Waves, these bundles should help you get Jinhsi and her weapon much faster.
