The Chinese studio Kuro Games has just released a fresh gameplay trailer for its open world action role playing game Wuthering Waves, and players are already buzzing about it as one of the cleanest imitators of the beloved Genshin Impact in recent memory.
The trailer highlights four distinct playable characters, showcasing their movement—swimming, gliding, chest looting—and most crucially, combat. Viewers also catch a glimpse of the game’s hub city, plus a variety of adversaries and the dynamic environments that will form the backbone of the adventure.
Graphics and core mechanics bear a striking resemblance to Genshin, but Wuthering Waves shifts the setting to a post apocalyptic future instead of a medieval fantasy world. The visuals emphasize vibrant, expansive landscapes and a sense of scale that invites exploration just as in the cited title, yet the tonal direction diverges with a darker, more futuristic mood.
Recent closed beta testing has wrapped up, and anticipation grows for a wider release. The game is expected to arrive on PC, Android, and iOS, bringing the world of Wuthering Waves to a broad audience across platforms.
Earlier leaks surfaced showing about thirty minutes of real gameplay from the closed beta, fueling early impressions and chatter within the gaming community. In related news, a new esports school for the Olympic Reserve opened in Novosibirsk, reflecting a growing interest in competitive play across the region.
According to VG Times, the early impressions from beta tests suggest a polished action system, a system of character progression, and a hub-focused design that encourages ongoing player engagement as new content is released. The comparison to Genshin remains a touchstone for fans, but Wuthering Waves aims to carve its own identity through setting, pacing, and a dedicated post apocalyptic atmosphere that blends survival elements with high fantasy action. The trailer’s emphasis on traversal and combat options indicates a game built around fluid movement and responsive mechanics, inviting players to experiment with different builds and combat styles as they explore what may become a signature city hub and its surrounding zones. Fans are keeping an eye on how the game handles character swapping, ability synergies, and solo versus group play in the evolving meta of open world ARPGs. (VG Times)
