Wuthering Waves Qiuyuan has finally been revealed for the 2.7 update, bringing fresh excitement to the community.
Kuro Games has lifted the curtain on one of the most mysterious resonators, Qiuyuan, through the official drip marketing for version 2.7. Fans have been waiting for his debut ever since his name appeared in earlier announcements, and now the wandering swordsman from Huanglong is set to join the roster.
Who is Wuthering Waves Qiuyuan?
Qiuyuan is introduced as a Huanglong swordsman, known for his calm and precise personality. Despite being teased long ago, he has never appeared in any main story quests so far, which makes his sudden reveal even more intriguing. Many players expect version 2.7 to finally explore his background through either a story quest or a special personal mission.
His official character announcement paints him as disciplined and sharp, like a blade ready to strike at the right moment. The description mentions him sensing enemies' weaknesses and striking swiftly, leaving little chance for survival. This calm and deadly style adds another layer of excitement around his kit and combat design.

Qiuyuan’s Release Timeline in WuWa 2.7 Update
The WuWa 2.7 patch is expected to go live on October 9, 2025 after version 2.6 concludes. Phase 1 of the WuWa 2.7 banner will most likely feature Galbrena as the highlighted character. Following that, Qiuyuan is expected to take the spotlight in Phase 2, predicted to launch around October 29, 2025, if the patch schedule remains unchanged.
While his exact Attribute and weapon type have not been officially confirmed, the community strongly believes Qiuyuan will wield a sword. Considering he has been revealed as a 5-star resonator, players are preparing for his banners with high expectations.
All in all, the reveal of Wuthering Waves Qiuyuan through the 2.7 drip marketing has revitalized excitement for the next update. His mysterious backstory, elegant swordsman style, and long-awaited addition as a male resonator make him one of the most anticipated characters so far.
One major reason for the excitement is that the game hasn’t received a new male character in a long time. The last male resonator added was Brant back in version 2.1. Since then, players have eagerly requested more variety, and Qiuyuan’s reveal perfectly answers that demand.
