The latest upcoming anime game that draws similarities with Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail is Wuthering Waves. This Kuro game title is an exciting open world RPG with a post-apocalyptic setting full of hostile monsters and otherwordly beings that have appeared due to a mysterious cause known as Lamet.

Before you jump into Wuthering Waves when it releases, however, you may want to know if the game is pay to win.

Is Wuthering Waves pay to win?

We currently don’t have any details on whether Wuthering Waves includes any pay to win elements. However, the game will be free to play on both PC, Android, and iOS. Whether players will be able to pay for powerful items that enhance their characters remains to be seen, but given the game’s F2P status, it could include some form of microtransactions.

This will likely enable players to purchase premium currency, which can be used to roll on character banners and purchase a battle pass should there be one. However, Kuro Game’s previous game, Punishing: Gray Raven is known to be incredibly free to play friendly.

So, it’s safe to speculate that Wuthering Waves may follow a similar pattern. Competitors like Genshin Impact also don’t feature any pay to win elements, with players able to unlock characters and Artifact sets without spending any money.
