A New Destination: Rinascita

The heart of the 2.0 update lies in Rinascita, the latest addition to Wuthering Waves’ explorable world. Known as the Land of Echoes, this hidden archipelago stands apart with its cultural vibrancy and intricate lore. At its center is Ragunna, a bustling city-state dominated by elite families vying for power. With its artistic traditions and mysterious Carnevale celebrations, Rinascita offers a stark contrast to the harsh, dystopian landscapes players have explored so far.
