Wuthering Waves is set in a futuristic post-apocalypse and features real-time action combat, as well as voice talent from Final Fantasy, Baldur’s Gate 3 and more.

On its initial release, there were a number of bugs and lag issues. The developer went on to apologise, and released a number of hotfixes. In June, it again apologised for the game’s state at launch, and vowed to improve the experience going forward.
