World Changes
From the Devs Interview it became clear that the most brought up concern during the first closed beta of Wuthering Waves had been its world feel and how everything had felt dull and even depressing at times.
The developers have addressed this by giving more attention to assets and enhancing rendering and shaders, all while trying to keep their post-apocalyptic thematic. Another new feature they have added this time around is realistic weather changes that make the world feel more alive.
They believe that the game now looks way better and are working on trying to maintain these graphics towards all the devices the game will be available on in the future.

Story Changes
During the Devs Interview the development team mentioned that they had received a lot of feedback from players in regards to their story.
Apparently the feedback was quite mixed with some people loving the story and others not so much. To address this the developers took the difficult decision to redo the story, and have rewritten 90% of Wuthering Waves’ story.
This includes changes in the scripts, voice acting, quests, structures, some art assets, all cinematics, and much more.

Echo System Changes
Echoes are one of the most defining features of Wuthering Waves and as such it is only right that this feature is as polished as it can be. Echoes in Wuthering Waves work similar to Relic Sets in Genshin Impact.
They offer set bonuses, however, Echoes in Wuthering Waves take on the form of monsters, which players can then transform into.
For this CBT2 the developers have worked on making the Echo farming way more accessible and also redesigning the [Echo Gallery] so that players can more easily look through the Echoes they have gathered. Gotta catch them all!
