The Wuthering Waves console demo will first be seen at ChinaJoy2024, which is in Shanghai. According to Push Square, the announcement was revealed through a promotional flyer for the convention. ChinaJoy2024 takes place from July 26 to July 29, giving fans a few days to catch the trailer for themselves at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

What Fans Know So Far About Wuthering Waves Console Release

The only prior information fans had about the potential PlayStation release was through data miners discovering PlayStation symbols in the files of recent game updates, among other leaks for Wuthering Waves. Gamers were excited for any hint about the console version, and this demo will be the first opportunity to see it in action and view how the development is coming.

It's certainly an exciting time for gacha games, with a wide variety of games to choose from and success across international markets. Since it is one of the newer games to enter the market, it'll be interesting to view the success of its console release and further additions to the game. The longer console players have to wait for the release, the more they may miss on rewards from limited events or character banners, so it's a big deal for players to know when the release will officially be.

While there may not be an official release date yet, the current state of Wuthering Waves hints at a very promising future for the gacha game, despite tough competition. Depending on the quality of the demo, fans may be getting the console release much sooner than initially expected. Regardless, it's good to see Sony keeping its promises of a console release and working to improve accessibility to the game. Fans who attend ChinaJoy2024 have a great opportunity to see updates on the game, as well as many other games that are part of the lineup for this year's event.
