Wuthering Waves has exciting news for its fans: Phoebe and Brant are set to become the next Rinascita characters in the game's Version 2.1 update. These highly anticipated characters will join the growing roster of playable heroes. Additionally, fans can look forward to more characters, including Zani, in upcoming updates.

The recent 2.0 update of Wuthering Waves has already brought a wealth of new content, including a new chapter in the main storyline and the introduction of the Rinascita region with its new explorable areas. Among the highlights of this update was the introduction of the 5-Star unit Carlotta, a Glacio DPS who wields Pistols and has quickly become a valuable addition to many teams. Her banner, along with Zhezhi's, is currently available until January 23. The second Rinascita character to be introduced in this update is Roccia, a Havoc unit, whose banner will conclude the ongoing update. Despite the 2.0 patch being far from over, the anticipation for Version 2.1 is already building, and Kuro Games has fueled this excitement by announcing the next characters to join the game.

Through official posts on Wuthering Waves' Twitter account, developer Kuro Games confirmed that Phoebe and Brant will be the next 5-Star Rinascita characters to hit the playable roster. Based on the order of their drip marketing, Phoebe's banner is expected to launch in Phase 1 of Version 2.1, followed by Brant's in Phase 2. While their rarities are known, their specific weapon types and Elements are yet to be officially disclosed. However, fans who have encountered them in the game's story speculate that Phoebe might be a Spectro unit and Brant a sword wielder. With Phoebe and Brant's scheduled debut, the last remaining Rinascita character, Zani, who was previously teased in promotional materials, is eagerly awaited. Rumors of other characters for the 2.0 cycle are circulating, but official confirmation is still pending.

Wuthering Waves Confirms Next 5-Star Rinascita Playable Characters

  • Phoebe: 5-Star, potentially a Spectro unit
  • Brant: 5-Star, potentially a sword wielder

According to the lore of Wuthering Waves, Phoebe is an Acolyte of the Order of the Deep, a faction within Rinascita dedicated to worshipping the nation's Sentinel, Imperator. Despite her devout adherence to the Order's discipline and beliefs, Phoebe has a joyful personality that shines through her serene demeanor. Brant, conversely, serves as the captain of the Fool's Troupe, a traveling Carnevale show that also includes Roccia. He adopts a laid-back persona in public, but his true focus is on safeguarding the Troupe from any threats. Both characters are poised to play crucial roles in the upcoming Wuthering Waves updates.

The 2.0 version of Wuthering Waves is slated to conclude around mid-February. In addition to introducing new characters, this update also unveiled a premium skin for the beloved character Jinhsi. Players have the opportunity to obtain Sanhua's skin for free by participating in an upcoming event starting on January 23.
