What to expect from Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves is said to have gameplay similar to Tower of Fantasy and Genshin Impact, both of which are open-world games. However, the former has a drawback in the form of a mechanic similar to loot boxes, which can be farmed or bought using premium currency. On the other hand, Genshin Impact heavily monetizes its cosmetic shop. It remains to be seen if the new title will boast similar features.

Wuthering Waves stands out due to its heavy emphasis on movement mechanics, such as wall running, gliding, grappling, and hook climbing. These add a diverse element to open-world exploration.

The game's standout feature is the Echo System, where defeating monsters will result in them dropping collectibles known as Echoes, which offer special abilities. These can be used to strengthen your character or "Resonators," as they are referred to in the game.
