The Wuthering Waves closed beta will soon reveal more information about the game.

Yes, Wuthering Waves will feature co-op multiplayer based on the most recent closed beta test for the game.

Various gameplay videos on YouTube have broken down Wuthering Waves’ co-op gameplay mechanics. In the closed beta co-op works in parties of up to 3, and you can either invite your friends to play or join a session with random players.

Once you’ve joined a game or somebody has joined yours, you can explore the open world together, farm important materials including Echoes, and take on enemy mobs and boss fights. More features or changes may be added to co-op when Wuthering Waves officially launches, but we’ll be sure to update this page with the latest information as it’s made available.
