Zani has generated significant excitement among fans as one of the most anticipated characters in Wuthering Waves. Teasers from the recent drip marketing campaign and her continued presence in the Rinascita story quests have piqued interest in her compelling workaholic character. According to official announcements, Zani is expected to become a playable character during the upcoming version 2.3, slated for release on April 29, 2025.
This article delves into the various speculations surrounding Zani’s release and what players can expect from her in Wuthering Waves.
Anticipated Release Date for Zani in Wuthering Waves
Zani’s unveiling occurred during the 2.3 drip marketing campaign, indicating her likely arrival in the same patch. The anticipated release date is April 29, 2025, coinciding with the current patch cycle that lasts approximately 32 days.
As the first character revealed from this wave, it is expected that her banner will be launched in the initial phase of patch 2.3. This suggests that players could see her debut on the same day as the patch’s release. In addition, Kuro Games has provided insights into her background, skills, and weapon types.
Zani is characterized as a Gauntlet user with a specialization in the Spectro element, utilizing a novel frazzle mechanism for dealing damage to her foes. This opens up exciting gameplay possibilities, particularly when paired with Phoebe, another Spectro unit that currently lacks a strong teammate.

Recent leaks from the closed beta of Wuthering Waves version 2.3 reveal that Zani possesses various stances. In her base state, she utilizes a formidable shield to fend off enemies effectively. Upon activating Resonance Liberation, her combat style dramatically shifts; she transforms into a demon and engages in rapid assaults with her weapons, her shields morphing into a colossal sword as she unleashes devastation.
Players can look forward to an official gameplay demonstration for Zani during the version 2.3 livestream, which is set to broadcast on April 19, 2025. This event will also introduce Ciaccona, another Resonator featured in the patch. Ciaccona is confirmed as an Aero Pistol user and may serve as a valuable companion for the Aero Rover.
Additionally, with the upcoming version 3.2 update marking one year since the game’s launch, introducing these two distinct characters is an excellent way to celebrate this significant milestone for Wuthering Waves.
