Summary

A newWuthering Wavesleak reveals a gender switch feature for the main character coming in Version 2.0. The update is set for release in early January, marking a new era forWuthering Waves.

Like in most gacha RPGs,Wuthering Wavesplayers have to choose their main character’s gender very early in the game. While there are similarities betweenthe male and female Rover inWuthering Waves, the decision still impacts the MC’s gameplay experience when it comes to their voice actors, animations, and appearance. In other popular titles, likeGenshin ImpactandHonkai: Star Rail, it is impossible to change the MC’s gender later in the game. To date, this is also the case forWuthering Waves. However, a new major feature regarding the Rover’s gender might be coming in the next patch, according to a new leak.

Reliableleaker Sleep has shareda new gender switch feature for the Rover inWuthering WavesVersion 2.0. The leak shows a “Rover Switch” feature interface with a code text that reads “GenderTransfer”. It seems the feature is not complete yet, as it only shows the male Rover icon. The rumor is supported by anotherleak from Team Gemberry78, which revealed several new quality-of-life updates found in the 2.0 beta phase. Per the leak, the gender switch would have a 24-hour cooldown, so players might still have the chance to change back to their MC’s original gender.Wuthering WavesVersion 2.0will launch on January 2 and will transport players to Rinascita, the highly anticipated second nation of Solaris-3. Aside from new gameplay features, the update will also debut several playable characters.

Wuthering Waves Leaks New Gender Switch Feature For Main Character

Although it is usual for gacha RPGs to maintain the MC’s gender throughout the whole story, fans frequently ask for a chance to change their MC’s gender to switch up their gameplay experience from time to time. For some games, likeGenshin Impact, this request is impossible to fulfill, as the Traveler’s gender plays a key role in their quest to find their sibling. On the other hand, the male and female Trailblazers fromHonkai: Star Railare unrelated to each other and play the same role in the story, so changing their gender wouldn’t affect the story. HoYoverse hasn’t added a feature for this, though. If Kuro Games implements a gender switch feature, it mighthelpWuthering Wavesstep up its gamein the next update and put the RPG ahead of its competitors in this matter.

An exciting chapter is coming forWuthering Wavesfans in Version 2.0. The game has already shared a first look at Rinascita and its characters, with Carlotta and Roccia confirmed to be the first playable units from the region. Earlier leaks revealednew skins forWuthering Waves' Jinhsi and Sanhua, so the patch will also show some love to veteran characters from Huanglong.
