Wuthering Waves 2.2 leaks hint at a new region, enemies, game modes, and more

Cantarella and Aero Rover

Kuro Games has already announced Cantarella will debut in the Wuthering Waves 2.2 update. She is a 5-star Havoc Resonator who uses a Rectifier. Leaks via Hakush.in suggest that Cantarella is a support unit that can provide party-wide healing and perform coordinated attacks, potentially making her a good character to pair with Camellya.

The developers haven't shared any info on Rover, and they are not a new character. However, according to the beta leaks, the main character of the action RPG is expected to unlock the Aero Attribute, allowing them to access new abilities.

Banners

Here's a list of all the characters expected to be featured on the version 2.2 banners, as per leaks via Hunter x Hunter and reshared on Reddit by u/ISRUKRENG:

Phase I

• Cantarella (5-star Havoc)
• Danjin (4-star Havoc)
• Sanhua (4-star Glacio)
• Yuanwu (4-star Electro)

Phase II

• Camellya (5-star Havoc)
• Shorekeeper (5-star Spectro)
• Aalto (4-star Aero)
• Chixia (4-star Fusion)
• Baizhi (4-star Glacio)

Cantarella is expected to have a solo banner in the first phase, while Camellya and Shorekeeper will likely get their first rerun banners in the second phase.

Both phases are expected to last three weeks, giving enough time to everyone to get their desired characters. Naturally, their signature weapons will also be available on the weapon banner.

New weapons

Rovers might see the additon of two new 5-star weapons. One of them is rumored to be Cantarella's signature Rectifier, which should be surprising since she is a new limited 5-star unit.

The other weapon is expected to be Aero Rover's new signature Sword and will be available for free. Unfortunately, it is unclear whether this weapon will be accessible from the quest or something else.

New area

2.2 full map byu/ISRUKRENG inWutheringWavesLeaks

Wuthering Waves 2.2 is expected to release a new area in Rinascita called Avinullin Theological Academy. Based on the leaks via PalitoGodd on X, the rumored region is located southeast of the current Rinascita map. The size of the area is pretty big and will feature both aboveground and underground locations; players can expect a good amount of exploration rewards.

PalitoGodd is a fairly trusted source, so the map leaks are also likely credible.

New battle mode

A leaker named Sleep recently shared a video showcasing a new game mode called the Babel Tower. It will be introduced in Wuthering Waves 2.2 and will feature combat challenges. It is currently unknown whether Babel Tower will be a permanent game mode or a limited-time event.

While there's no info on Sleep's past record, the leak is from the beta, so it can be considered credible.

There are leaks about a new Sonata Effect for the Aero Attribute called The Sky Where the Clouds Disappear. It is likely to be the Aero Rover's new set and will be farmable in the new Tacet Field that will be available in the new area.

Speaking of farming new Echoes, a new main stat selector feature is expected to be added in the new version, allowing players to select the main stat of an Echo. The exact details of the feature are still unknown, so one can only wait until the version 2.2 livestream for more info.
