Wuthering Waves has officially announced a new endgame mode coming in Version 2.1, which is expected to launch around mid-February. Wuthering Waves fans have been asking for more challenging game modes for a while now, and it seems Kuro Games is finally answering their demands.
It has been a few weeks since the release of Rinascita with Version 2.0, and the update has been quite popular among Wuthering Waves fans. The update brought a new explorable nation, as well as two five-star Resonators, and while it recently began its second phase, players are already awaiting news about the next patch. Earlier in January, Wuthering Waves confirmed new playable characters for Version 2.1, but now developers have also revealed an exciting addition to the RPG.

Since the launch of Genshin Impact, the demand for similar games on mobile has surged, but which ones are right for you?
Through its official in-game notes, Wuthering Waves has revealed a new permanent game mode called “Whimpering Wastes” for Version 2.1. According to the developers, this endgame content will reset its challenges weekly. The reveal of Whimpering Waves comes after prominent leaker Sleep shared some details about the game mode. Per the leak, this endgame content consists of three stages, each with its own challenges and rewards. Only two stages reset periodically, though, and players claim up to 800 Astrites for completing them. Earlier leaks also revealed a different endgame mode debuting in Wuthering Waves that would work through a point system. If the rumors turn out to be true, farming for Astrites could become easier for players.
Wuthering Waves Confirms New “Whimpering Wastes” Permanent Game Mode
To adjust this addition of Whimpering Waves, the game is rescheduling the duration of the next Tower of Adversity: Hazard Zone cycle to last from February 3 to March 3. Wuthering Waves‘ Tower of Adversity usually resets every 14 days, but the game has unexpectedly changed it to a full month. Upon the announcement, fans theorized that this decision might be permanent to balance with the weekly reset of the new game mode, but it is possible that the change could be temporary. Of course, players will have to wait for official confirmation from Kuro Games in the upcoming weeks.
There are high expectations for Wuthering Waves Version 2.1 and future updates. Players can expect more Rinascita characters like Zani to debut in later patches. Previous leaks teased the release of Rover’s next element in Wuthering Waves, which would be the first playable kit for the main character. In the meantime, players can still make the most out of Version 2.0 by pulling for Roccia or obtaining Sanhua’s free skin.
