Wuthering Waves 1.1 release date

Wuthering Waves 1.1 will release on Friday 28th June in the UK, but due to time zone differences, it’s actually likely to release on Thursday 27th June in the United States, depending on how long the update takes.

If following the same pattern as its 1.0 launch time (which these gacha games often do), then you should be able to play 1.1 at either 3am or 4am (BST) / 11pm or 12am (ET). However, this is just an estimate, so you might have longer to wait.

With this in mind, here’s the estimated release date and time for Wuthering Waves 1.1 in other timezones:

• East Coast US: Thursday 27th June, 11pm (ET)
• Central US: Thursday 27th June, 10pm (CT)

Wuthering Waves 1.1 Banners

Thanks to a recent blog post, we know that Jinhsi and Changli are the new Banners in version 1.1 of Wuthering Waves. They will get their own 5-Star Banners, but we don’t know who the boosted 4-Star characters on them will be just yet.

Although we don’t know much about them officially, beta leaks point to Jinhsi being a Spectro broadblade-user, and Changli being a Fusion sword-user.
