The studio has also moved the Wuthering Waves name outside the game. On July 18, 2026, it announced Wuthering Waves: Elysium, an animated series produced by Kuro Onroad, a newly established animation brand under Kuro Games. The announcement came through a teaser trailer on the official YouTube channel, and no release date or episode count has been given.
