Wuthering Waves has revealed the first gameplay footage of two new characters arriving in version 2.6.
Iuno and Augusta are intriguing new additions, each bringing a wide array of skills and abilities.
How will they fit into the roster? Keep an eye out for the new update launching later this month.

With Wuthering Waves version 2.6 scheduled for release later this month, there's widespread curiosity about what the update will include. At least when it comes to the character roster, we now have a clearer picture. Kuro Games has officially introduced two newcomers: Augusta and Iuno.

Described as central to the version 2.6 storyline, both characters feature a distinct Roman-inspired aesthetic that would feel right at home in a classic Greek tragedy. Augusta wields an imposing greatsword, while Iuno commands a floating chakram-like weapon, allowing her to soar across the battlefield.

So far, we've mainly seen a showcase of their visual design and combat abilities. Exactly how they'll integrate into the ongoing narrative of Wuthering Waves remains a compelling mystery. However, judging by the dynamic and visually striking nature of their kits, they're likely to play significant roles.

Many players are likely already analyzing Iuno and Augusta's move sets, curious about how they will perform on our Wuthering Waves tier list and whether they'll be viable for high-level challenges.

This focus on their gameplay impact is likely why they're being promoted as essential to the upcoming story. Given the innovative mechanics introduced by recent characters in the Unfading Melody of Life update—which featured musically infused abilities that reshape the battlefield—skipping these new heroes might mean missing out on exciting strategic depth.

While waiting for version 2.6 to arrive, you might be looking for a way to pass the time. For those who enjoy deep, engaging adventures, there's good news: the recently released Broken Sword: Reforged is now available on digital storefronts!
