Wuthering Waves has been one of the top free-to-play gacha games, excelling in every aspect of quality. And it is considered a direct contender to Hoyoverse’s Genshin Impact.
Hoyoverse announced an anime series for Genshin Impact in collaboration with ufotable back in 2022, with a brief reveal and nothing since. A few months back, we got new updates on the Genshin Impact anime along with a new announcement of a Honkai Star Rail anime.
This further shows how game developers are actively looking to different mediums to share the story of the world they have built while unlocking new streams of revenue and diversifying their IPs.
So far, there's no release date or release window for the anime. We will track updates on it and share more in the future. Until then, make sure to add MobileMatters as your preferred source to ensure you don’t miss any updates.
