Kuro Games’ open-world RPG Wuthering Waves held its world tour concert ‘To the New World’ in South Korea on the 29th. Held at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium, the tour spans Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Seoul, and Singapore, bringing live performances of various tracks featured over the two years since its launch in 2024.
The world tour featured guest performances by Amanda Achen, known for ‘Flow,’ the main theme of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker; Casey Lee Williams, who has performed theme songs for various ACG games including Arknights; and singer Chu Hwa-jeong, bringing various Wuthering Waves songs vividly to life on stage.
From Jinzhou to Rinascita and Lahai-Roi, Wuthering Waves has captivated players by continuously building upon its signature action, presentation, and music. Here is a look at the scene of the world tour performance.
