The nerves, Kuro Games fans, for you get your very first look at Cartethyia in action—and God, what a beautiful sight. An exclusive sneak peek of her in-game footage was shared by the official Wuthering Waves Twitter account, confirming her playability in 2.4. To say that the hype train left the station ago is definitely an understatement.
Who is Cartethyia, huh? If you kept up with Wuthering Waves leaks, you might have seen her name thrown around. However, it would be the first time we see her walk, fight, and probably mercilessly kill her foes in style. The clip shows her mid-combo, slashing elegantly for a reminder to unfortunate mobs. Her design remains sharp, sleek, and dripping with the Kuro Games’ trademark.
Wuthering Waves is an action RPG by Kuro Games, catching eyes for its speed combat offerings and mesmerizing visuals. Think about it as Genshin Impact, but with a much greater emphasis on combo-heavy fighting system-shaped skill builds. And going by Cartethyia’s gameplay, 2.4 is going to be its own tier of intense.
The tweet, however, gave no teaser about its release date or full kit; well, who’d want to know everything right away? Sometimes a little mystery only makes the wait more exciting. Well, what we *do* know is that she’s coming soon, and judging from scores of enthusiastic replies, players have already begun theorizing team comps and hoarding their precious pulls.
Speaking of reactions, well, the community reaction was quite enthusiastic, to say the least. Speculation went rampant, with comments like, “TAKE MY PRIMOGEMS–wait wrong game” and “I don’t even care about meta, I NEED Her.” And, really, that’s just how it is. Cartethyia’s animations could easily sell well enough if Kuro Games supports her with some broken skills. And yeah, RIP to in-game currency reserves worldwide.
And that leads us to the ~big~ question: when exactly is version 2.4 dropping? In terms of dates, Kuro Games has been rather tight-lipped, but judging by how past updates have gone, a late summer to early fall release is highly likely. That gives you a ton of time to grind, save, and psych yourselves up for some definite gacha despair upon losing that down to the wire 50/50.
Until then, folks, keep the socials for Wuthering Waves locked. That they’re teasing Cartethyia this hard is a dead giveaway for more information coming soon. We’ll be standing right there to dissect everything for you when the time comes. Until then, keep rewatching that clip and praying to the gacha gods. You’re going to need it.
So yes, Cartethyia is insane; Wuthering Waves is flexing; and here we all just are sitting along for the ride. Stay tuned folks, it’s going to be good.
