Wuthering Waves 2.8 Banners Are Live as Scheduled – Chixia and Phoebe Featured!

Rovers looking to pull can dive right in. It's a mix of joy and tears – some striking gold, others striking out.

The quality of this Wuthering Waves test version is spot-on. They've quietly pulled off a bold overhaul, carving out clear differentiation with a fully polished system. It's no longer "full of promise" – just fix a few bugs, and it's ready for full release. Fingers crossed for a swift launch, though. Open-world gachas are in cutthroat competition these days, with fresh trends every season. Even the best feast can go cold if it's late...

First-day revenue from the initial wave is looking solid too! Let's break down the overall first-day revenue data for the 2.8 upper banner (Chixia/Phoebe).

From noon yesterday when the banner dropped until now, rankings have slipped. The 2.8 banner currently sits at #19 on the total revenue chart and #10 on the games chart (down 2 spots from before).

It's only day one, but the downward trend is clear – day 2 probably won't see a rebound. Even so, as a fan-favorite, Chixia is single-handedly carrying the banner's performance, which is already a strong showing.

Next up: Wuthering Waves 2.8 banner revenue rankings across app stores (as shown in the image). As of now, it's in the top 10 in 5 global countries/regions. CN server has dropped to #10, JP is holding #2, KR also #2 – solid results overall.

And here's the first-day pull data for the 2.8 upper banner (Chixia/Phoebe): Chixia shipped 20,465 copies, Phoebe just 1,485 – a pull ratio of roughly 13.7:1. The gap is massive; it's a total Chixia sweep.

Chixia, as a brand-new character and a versatile effect support, has huge future potential – no surprise so many are pulling for her. Phoebe, on the other hand, is tied to Zanny, which has turned off plenty of players without Zanny in their roster. What do you Rovers think?
