Community Response: Discussions & Concerns
On Reddit (r/WutheringWaves), initial reaction to the rewards is positive but mixed regarding the prohibition on AI-assisted works, reflecting a growing industry trend toward preserving human creativity in fan spaces. Some community members have praised the prize pool as a sign KURO GAMES is investing in its fanbase—while others note that, with high-value items on the line, the standards for originality and completion will be especially high this phase.
Twitter trends exhibit excitement, with several well-known creators already sharing early sketches and discussing collaborative concepts. Feedback also highlights appreciation for the event’s inclusivity—accepting entries in all languages and from a broad swath of global servers.
A few players on Discord voiced concerns about potential entry volume diluting individual visibility and asked for more spotlighting of non-winning but noteworthy works. Some cited past events in other gacha communities, expressing hope that KURO will actively showcase a range of submissions, not just top winners.
Why This Event Matters
This event puts creative community engagement at the forefront of WuWa’s late 2025 roadmap. With trending industry conversations over AI art, fan rights, and fair creator recognition, KURO’s clear rules emphasize originality and direct creator participation. The presence of significant monetary and in-game prize support, particularly at the top tiers, sets a new bar for gacha event rewards outside of standard banner campaigns.
For competitive and casual creators alike, participating offers not just material rewards, but the chance to shape the visual and cultural landscape of Wuthering Waves heading into future patches and festivals. High visibility for winning entries—potentially via official media and livestreams—cements the event as a major touchstone in the game’s ongoing fandom dialogue.
