Hello, Rovers. Happy to see you again. This time, I’ll walk you through the latest updates of Wuthering Waves Version 2.8. In Version 2.8 To the City Set in Amber, set to launch on November 20, Rover will be joined by a new Resonator companion, Chisa, on a journey to the enigmatic fallen city, the Chronorift Metropolis — Honami. There, abnormal frequencies abound, and the loop of time awaits someone to set it free. Expect new stories, characters, locations, optimizations, and more content.
New main quest: Step into the fallen city in the looping crisis Honami
After the Rinascita arc concluded, Rover returned to the Black Shores and learned that they had unexpectedly captured a completely new frequency. During the Black Shores’ continued investigation, they found a rift leading to an unknown Sonoro Sphere. Rover will enter the mysterious Chronorift Metropolis through the Sonoro entrance.
The Chronorift Metropolis was once a thriving commercial hub, previously known as Honami City. But decades ago, it was destroyed by the Lament and permanently sealed within a Sonoro Sphere, eventually becoming what we see today. The once-bustling skyscrapers are now covered in overgrowth. Seawater has flooded lowlands and roads. But the Lament that brought ruin to this city never truly vanished. It still lingers in the city, sometimes giving rise to unstable anomalies.
The recurring Lament has trapped the city in a time loop, resetting and destroying it over and over. The people you see moving about are no longer who they once were. They’re now known as the Left Behind—phantoms repeating the habits of their former lives, reliving the same daily routine. The entire city, along with its Left Behind, is imprisoned within the Sonoro Sphere, cut off completely from the outside world. It’s Rover’s unexpected arrival that brings change to this sealed space.
In Version 2.8, Main Quest Chapter II Act XII Stagnant Dawn on Wastelands and Main Quest Chapter II Act XII Segue Flowing Starlight in the Iris will both become available on November 20. In this iridescent, end-of-days metropolis, break the Lament that engulfs the city.
New Resonators: Chisa & Buling
Long black hair, striking red eyes, and crisp, simple uniform, the mysterious science-minded stop student Chisa will debut in Version 2.8 and unveil the secrets hidden beneath Honami with Rover. Chisa’s Forte is Clipping. Though she arrived in Honami by accident, with her calm, serious nature and exceptional learning abilities, she adapted here quickly and managed to carve out a safe haven in this fallen city with her Forte.
Those giant scissors Chisa wields look heavy, but she handles them with ease. Chisa was born into a tailor’s family, so she could shift their form to suit her needs in different situations. She uses them not only to cut papers into shapes she
