Wuthering Waves: Elysium, an anime adaptation of the gacha action‑RPG Wuthering Waves, has been announced as the inaugural title under Kuro Onroad, the developer’s new animation division. Kuro Games, the Chinese studio behind Wuthering Waves, created Kuro Onroad to produce original animated content rather than license the IP. The trailer for the series, titled Wuthering Waves: Elysium, indicates 3D animation and features characters from the game. The project's narrative placement within the game's existing story remains undetermined; it is unclear whether the series will reinterpret established characters or align with the game's pre‑existing lore. Kuro Games said the series aims to expand the Wuthering Waves universe and provide fans with an additional medium for experiencing its characters and world. The company has not disclosed whether it will partner with another studio or produce the animation internally. The announcement follows a wave of video‑game adaptations, including a September anime film for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and a series for Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, as well as an ongoing anime project for Genshin Impact at Ufotable. No release date has been set for Wuthering Waves: Elysium, and details about its production schedule remain pending.
