Wuthering Waves, an open-world action RPG title developed by Kuro Games, is reportedly launching on May 22, as revealed in the Special Program live-stream by the developers.

The new title by Kuro Games (known mainly for Punishing: Gray Raven) has finally received a launch date after getting a closed beta test almost a year ago. Through the Special Broadcast Program held by Kuro Games, the game developers finally revealed when fans should expect Wuthering Waves to drop by, and along with that, they disclosed that the title will be available on iOS, Android, and Epic Games Store for PC. Unfortunately, we won't see a console version at the start, but the studio is working on it, though it will take time.

In the Special Broadcast, Kuro Games also presented a new cinematic trailer for Wuthering Waves titled Saving Light.
