Closed testing for Wuthering Waves update 2.3 has sparked excitement among fans, thanks to leaked gameplay footage showcasing two new playable characters: Zani and Ciaccona.

Zani, a member of Montelli, is depicted as a meticulous and dependable individual who thrives on structure. Although armed with gloves, she rarely engages enemies directly with them, instead utilizing her Spectro-aligned powers. Her disciplined approach to life suggests that her abilities may focus on calculated strategies and consistent performance in battle.

Ciaccona, a bard hailing from Rinashita, embodies creativity and passion. Known for her free-spirited nature and romantic soul, she sings luminous poems about heroes, saints, and human experiences—both joyful and tragic. Her willingness to confront themes like death and loss hints at a character rich in emotional storytelling. Gameplay-wise, Ciaccona's  skills might lean toward supportive roles, enhancing team dynamics while weaving poetic narratives into combat scenarios.

The update is set to release globally by the end of the month on PC, PS5, and mobile devices, bringing these intriguing characters and additional content to players worldwide.
