“Genshin would never” Huge Wuthering Waves 1.2 leaks has fans praising devs

Wuthering Waves fans have a lot to anticipate for the near future. There is still stuff to enjoy before July ends, but August is set to be a big month with the release of update 1.2. We know the official banner characters, but an extensive list of Wuthering Waves update 1.2 leaks has emerged online with fans praising Kuro for adding features “Genshin would never”.

It has only been fully available on PC and mobile for less than two months, but already WuWa has achieved a “major milestone“. Comparisons between it and Genshin Impact are obvious, but leaks suggest WuWa is set to get a big upgrade Genshin Impact fans have wanted for years. Not only that, but a massive announcement has fans believing the game is finally coming to PlayStation consoles.

All of the above is exciting, and fans are also pumped for the arrival of update 1.2 thanks to the confirmation of Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao as new playable character banners. While Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao are great, more update 1.2 leaks have emerged and they suggest some big improvements are incoming for Wuthering Waves.

Reacting to the above, there is a lot of excitement from the community. In response to the above leaks on Reddit, there are comments such as, “Shooting utility??? THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING” and “120FPS (granted, not for everyone) AND incentive to play co-op? Lfg”.

More than anything, there are several comments praising the developer, Kuro, for listening to the wishes of the community. “Devs listened,” is a comment echoed by many, meanwhile, other comments further heap praise on Kuro in comparison to Hoyoverse by saying, “Honestly genshin could never in this department” and “These QoL in 2 patch and people been asking for genshin in 4 years yet they still don’t have it, crazzzzzyyy”.

Wuthering Waves update 1.2 is expected to land on August 15th seeing as the Changli banner ends on the 14th. For more Wuthering Waves, we have a guide to all of the voice actors in the game, and we also have a guide explaining how to add friends.
