Kuro Games announces more rewards as compensation for Wuthering Waves First Anniversary amid community backlash

The official preview program of the 2.3 Livestream left the community divided, with one part praising the developers for the amount of content they were receiving and also voicing their excitement for the WuWa x Cyberpunk collab.

Meanwhile, the other part of the community felt like the rewards were too few, especially considering multiple banners coming in Version 2.3, and with the ongoing patch 2.2 getting cut short. This culminated in an online backlash on various social media forums, including X and Reddit, which ultimately led Kuro to open a WuWa anniversary feedback page.

Today, on April 21, 2025, the official Wuthering Waves page on X announced that players will receive an additional 30x Pulls later this week, as part of the apology event and as a response to the community's feedback.

"We also recognize that there is still much room for improvement in how we operate and support the game long-term. We're committed to growing and refining every aspect of Wuthering Waves. To express our gratitude and sincerest apologies, we'll be launching a Login event this week where the following content will be available to unlock and claim. The opening time will be given in a later official announcement."

You will receive 10x Radiant, 10x Forging, and 10x Lustrous Tides as part of this login event on April 25, 26, and 27, respectively. Only time can tell if this will satisfy the community or if the studio will face more backlash and decide to give out more rewards for the WuWa's First Anniversary.
