The Wuthering Waves Version 3.4 preview special broadcast begins with hosts Q and X introducing the upcoming content. The narrative focuses on the Starfall Academy and the challenges it faces after the loss of the Rover. President Lucilla takes center stage, battling to save the academy and the future of its students. The hosts tease a new location, characterized by neon lights and an urban atmosphere.
The official collaboration between Wuthering Waves and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is announced for Version 3.4. A mysterious gate has appeared at Starfall Academy, leading to a new world. This gate is emitting unusual frequencies and appears to lead to an unknown realm, thought to be Night City, a projection of Lucy and Rebecca's memories. The new episodic quest, 'Dreams on the Edge,' begins on June 8 (UTC+8), with the main quest interlude 'We Choose the Sky' following on June 13 (UTC+8).
Lucy, a new 5-star Spectro Resonator and netrunner from Night City, is introduced. Her character is cold and distant yet subtly gentle, with a tragic past that fuels her desire for freedom, symbolized by the moon. Lucy uses pistols and is skilled in hacking, employing her Monowire to inflict damage both physically and digitally. Her combat style involves disrupting enemies through hacking and chained Monowire attacks, with her Outro Skill deploying a countermeasure program to stun enemies.
Rebecca, a new 5-star Electro Resonator from Night City, is presented as a fiery and flamboyant character with a tender heart. She deeply cares for her team and uses her boisterous demeanor as an armor to protect those she loves. Rebecca expertly wields both pistols and shotguns, alternating between them to control distance and unleash powerful attacks. Her Liberation Skill activates Gorilla Arms and a heavy machine gun for relentless barrages. She will be available for free through an in-game event.
Lucilla, the President of Starfall Academy and a 5-star Glacio Resonator, is officially unveiled. Known for her elegance, political acumen, and caring nature as both a leader and a teacher, she navigates complex situations with grace. Lucilla wields an Amplifier that alternates between camera and pistol modes, collecting 'Film Reels' and 'Photos' to unleash powerful memory-based attacks. Her Liberation Skill allows her to enter a 'Reminiscence' state, using accumulated photos to deal additional damage.
The game introduces a new illusory version of Night City, reconstructed within the Tacet Discord from Lucy's memories. Players will explore a high-tech metropolis filled with neon lights and a dreamlike mist. New formidable enemies include 'Nightmare: Adam Smasher,' 'Nightmare: Armed Corpo,' 'Nightmare: Corpo Guard,' and 'Nightmare: Corpo Response Unit,' forcing players to remain vigilant.
Version 3.4 brings new gameplay experiences, including the 'Hacking Protocol' puzzle system and 'Quickhacks' provided by Lucy for bypassing multiple mechanisms. A forgotten secret research facility, linked to Lucilla's past, will also be explorable. Upcoming events include 'Phantom Realm: Dreamweavers,' a returning limited-time event with new level designs and more Resonators, and 'Starfall Formula: Reboot!', featuring new race tracks and a multiplayer racing mode.
The Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration includes various themed events. 'Wandering in Night City' features a collaboration Resonator trial event and a limited-time boss challenge, 'Nightmare Challenge,' against 'Nightmare: Adam Smasher.' Completing challenge objectives earns the exclusive title 'Legendary Smasher.' Players can also earn 'Pucrédits' for tasks, unlocking the exclusive Sigil 'Where Did Your Love Go?' Rebecca will be available for free through the 'Instant Torch' login event. A 7-day login event 'Blue Sky Dream' offers Astrites, an expedition motor accessory, and a motor livery. The collaboration song 'I Really Want to Stay At Your House' will be added to in-game music archives.
Version 3.4 features significant system optimizations: a new 'Weekly Activity' tab for streamlined weekly challenges, a revamped 'Tower of Adversity' as 'Wondrous Park: Rhapsody,' and enhanced Resonator Ascension Plan. Skill upgrade screens now include recommendations and one-click max-level upgrades. The in-game guide system is optimized with quick access to guides, skill demonstrations, and 'favorites' functionality. Camera controls are improved with new modes and a high-definition option. Expedition motor appearance presets are introduced. Graphic fidelity is boosted with Unreal Engine's 'megalights' technology, providing richer dynamic lighting, especially in Night City, and environmental interactions where vehicles react to attacks.
Wuthering Waves announces its presence at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles in July, encouraging Nomads to meet them in person. The broadcast concludes by emphasizing the cooperation with Edgerunners and the mutual protection at Starfall Academy, looking forward to the official launch of Version 3.4 'The Dream That Was Not a Dream' on Monday, June 8 (UTC+8). The update duration is adjusted to 32 days.
