Are you wondering whether Wuthering Waves is a gacha game? Well, here’s everything we currently know about this highly-anticipated anime game. 

Wuthering Waves is an upcoming open-world anime game from the developers behind the popular mobile game, Punishing: Gray Raven. The title aims to wow fans with its post-apocalyptic open world, flashy combat, and colorful characters. 

In fact, many Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy fans will be hoping the game can stand out from the crowd. With it having similarities to both games, many players will be wondering if Wuthering Waves is a gacha game

Wuthering Waves has a gacha system that will be familiar to Genshin Impact players.

Yes, Wuthering Waves is a gacha game. Just like Genshin Impact, players must roll on banners to unlock characters and weapons. This is done by spending Modulation Keycodes, Wuthering Waves’ in-game currency. 

Fortunately, players can farm Tacetreite Vouchers by opening chests in the game’s overworld. Tacetreite Vouchers can be converted into Modulation Keycodes, just like how Primogems can be converted into Intertwined Fates and Acquaint Fates. 

This is good news for those who prefer to play gacha games without spending any real-world money. Of course, Wuthering Waves will likely enable adventurers to purchase Modulation Keycodes once it releases later this year, should you wish to avoid grinding F2P currency. 

Of course, it’s still early days and the developers could make major adjustments to Wuthering Wave’s gacha system before release. So, we’ll be sure to update this piece as soon as we get official information.
