Howling Waves is coming soon, launching globally on May 22nd. To celebrate, Kuro Game Studio is offering a wealth of rewards and unlockable content for those willing to download the game and play it at launch.
We’ll go into more detail about them below, but all in all, it seems particularly easy to quickly acquire at least two five-star characters as well as a variety of loot and valuable items to use while playing the game. These kinds of launch bonuses aren’t necessarily unique (many of you may remember the free stuff Genshin Impact offered players when it launched years ago), but Howling Waves and its developers are certainly trying to get people invested right away.
So when you start the game you’ll see a starter banner that you can scroll through with 20% off until it’s gone. Once you do this, this should reward you with a Howling Wave character, meaning you’ll soon have a deluxe new teammate to play with! Don’t worry after it disappears as you will be able to set the character focus on the regular banner. This means that after a certain number of rolls, you will get the character you want.
This is the basic starting bonus associated with rolling. The game has also released a five-day login event, and all players who successfully launch the game within five days will receive a free Resonator Sanhua – another free four-star character. Likewise, players who venture further and complete the Rumble Valley challenge will unlock another four-star: Yuan Wu. As you play, you will be able to upgrade your guild level. Do this enough and you’ll get a free five-star weapon. If you’re starting to see a pattern here, you’re not alone – it seems pretty easy to get a few characters – some of which are worthy of five stars – without investing too much time at launch.
Then you get various items and consumables. Upgrading your guild level also provides Tides of Radiance (which you can spend on character and weapon banners). Players will also receive 10 Radiant Tides and Radiant Tides as rewards to celebrate the launch of the special live stream. They only arrive in your mailbox a day or two after posting. In addition to this, players who pre-register for Howling Waves will receive a range of exclusive rewards, including banner rolls, in-game currency and select weapons.
When you think about it all, this is a banana product. If it piques your interest, you can still pre-register now if you want to maximize your first day fun. If you’re interested in the game when it’s released later this week, let us know!
