In a scheduled broadcast early this morning, the Wuthering Waves developer, Kuro Games, has unveiled numerous details about the upcoming 2.5 update. For starters, the update has been officially dubbed “Unfading Melody of Life.” The poetic name alone suggests at a more emotionally resonant chapter ahead. The presentation gave fans a glimpse into what’s next for Rover and Solaris-3, setting the tone for a significant chapter in the game’s ongoing journey. Full details about what to expect were shared during the stream, and there’s plenty to look forward to.

The 2.5 update for Wuthering Waves is slated to bring a healthy amount of new content into the game when it releases this month on July 24. The livestream hosts highlighted a variety of new content, including a brand new Resonator, a limited-time event, and the next chapter of the main storyline. Numerous quality-of-life improvements were additionally confirmed toward the end of the stream, continuing Kuro game’s streak of providing quality content to the players.

The narrative in Wuthering Waves version 2.5 kicks off where 2.4 left off, this time, centering on the long-time antagonist, Phrolova. While it is unclear how much of villain Phrolova will be during this update, according to the trailer, it appears the Rover will work together in some limited capacity. This idea is further supported by the reveal of Phrolova being the next playable Resonator, obtainable once version 2.5 goes live. According to the livestream, Phrolova is the only new Resonator coming in the version update, but there are three returning characters getting their rerun at the same time.

As with every update in Wuthering Waves, the active Resonator banners will shift between phases after enough time has passed. The banners are split into two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2, and once Phase 1 ends, Phase 2 will begin. Here is the current schedule for slated for version 2.5:

• 5* Phrolova – Havoc Rectifier
  • Signature Weapon: Lethean Elegy
• 5* Roccia – Havoc Gauntlets
  • Signature Weapon: Tragicomedy

• 5* Brant – Fusion Sword
  • Signature Weapon: Unflickering Valor
• 5* Cantarella – Havoc Rectifer
  • Signature Weapon: Whispers of Sirens

During the duration of both Phases, the following 4* Resonators will be obtainable:
