Summary
Wuthering Wavesfans noticed the recently released Patch 1.1 revamped some of the voice lines from previous story quests. The free-to-play action RPG quickly became one of the most successful launches in recent memory, amassing over 30 million downloads just within the first month of its release. But whileWuthering Waveshas been praised for its fast-paced combat and free-flowing movement mechanics, players have also criticized the game for its story and the lackluster voiceovers for some characters.
It’s safe to say that the release ofWuthering Waveswas nothing short of a spectacular success for developer Kuro Games. Even before its debut, the open-world gacha title was already one of the most anticipated titles for 2024, with fans of the genre believing it would be one of the few free-to-play games that could stand toe-to-toe with HoYoverse’s massively popularGenshin Impact. A leaked report also previously claimed thatWuthering Wavesearned nearly $40 millionwithin the first month of its release and was well on its way to surpassing its competitor in terms of revenue by the end of July.
However, that’s not to say the game was completely free of issues. Apart from the various bugs that hampered its launch,Wuthering Wavesplayers were particularly dissatisfiedwith the performance of the voice actors for the game’s English dub, which many believed felt awkward and unnatural in its delivery. Thankfully, it appears Kuro Games has heard the complaints of its player base and is now re-recording voice lines to better fit with the game’s overall tone. Fans noticed some of these changes were deployed with the release ofWuthering Waves' Patch 1.1, and the difference in the delivery of the dialogue is indeed noteworthy.
Wuthering Waves Releases Patch 1.1
Patch 1.1 also brought more than just a few revamped voice lines. TheThaw of Eonsupdate featured the debut of thehighly anticipated five-star character Jinhsi, who was previously introduced as the young Magistrate of Jinzhou. Players were also treated with a new explorable area with Mt. Firmament, a mysterious isolated island hidden in the mists of the southeastern ocean of the known map.
July is already shaping up to be a good month forWuthering Waves, but players still have more to look forward to in the near future. Most notably, phase 2 of Patch 1.1 will feature the debut ofthe five-star sword-fusion resonator Changli, who has already gathered a sizable fanbase within the game’s community through her design and gameplay. However, interested users will need to start saving their Astrite as soon as possible as Changli’s banner is scheduled to launch on July 22.
