Summary

  • Phrolova's release as a playable character might be in Wuthering Waves Version 2, possibly in December.
  • Phrolova is rumored to become the main antagonist during the 2.0 update, with patches up to 2.8 potentially introducing a new nation.
  • Wuthering Waves' popularity is on the rise, with a PS5 version in development, but players should await an official announcement regarding Phrolova's availability.

A new Wuthering Waves leak has revealed Phrolova's potential release window. Wuthering Waves fans have long hoped the mysterious character would eventually become playable.

Players first encountered Phrolova in-game during Chapter 1's Acts 3 and 4 of the Main Quest. Like Scar, Phrolova is one of the Overseers of the Fractsidus, an organization that aims to accelerate the next Lament. Phrolova was responsible for the Tacet Discord outbreak, which showed how powerful she really is. Little is known about Phrolova, but she is confirmed to be a Resonator, with her Tacet Mark visible on her right arm. Because of this, fans have long expected Phrolova to be among Wuthering Waves' upcoming playable characters. It seems their wishes may soon become true, according to a new leak.

Reliable leaker StepLeaks has shared new information about Phrolova's release as a playable character. Per the leak, Phrolova's first banner will launch sometime in Version 2.0. Previous rumors suggested that Wuthering Waves Version 1.4 will be the last update set in the Huanglong nation. If Wuthering Waves follows its usual update schedule, Version 2.0 could launch in mid-December, with Phrolova's release window starting then.

  • Version 2 (possibly in December)

The leak also sheds some light on Phrolova's role in the next Main Quest, stating that she'll be the main antagonist during the 2.0 update. It also reveals that the following patches will go up to 2.8 and will likely introduce a new nation in Solaris-3. Developer Kuro Games hasn't shared any official information about Version 1.4, but the patch is set for release around mid-November. Earlier rumors indicated that Wuthering Waves is adding skins for characters Jinhsi and Sanhua during this time as well, with the latter potentially free to obtain.

Since the global release of Wuthering Waves, the game has steadily increased in popularity, at one point nearly matching its rival Genshin Impact's revenue. Kuro Games has confirmed that a PS5 version of Wuthering Waves is in development, which could help attract new players. Wuthering Waves shouldn't miss the opportunity to release playable Phrolova sooner rather than later, though, as many fans may return to the game with the means to pull for her. Of course, leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, and players should wait for an official announcement of Phrolova's availability. In the meantime, players can pull for fan-favorite character Jiyan in Wuthering Waves' current banner or wait until Version 1.3 for the debut of Camellya and Lumi.
