Wuthering Waves is almost upon us, but there is still time to pre-register alongside the 29 million other souls who have already done so. Pre-registering for the game brings a huge list of bonuses for when you start playing.
Kuro Games have been adding them sort of like Stretch Goals on Kickstarters and all but one goal has been hit, so the push is on to get that one too, and have a clean sweep of all the good stuff on offer.
The game releases on May 22nd, so you do only have a few days to get in on the action, but thankfully, registration is simple and you can do it in any of the following ways.
Wuthering Waves pre-registration
Pre-registering for Wuther Waves is as simple as going to the storefront on iOS and Android, downloading the game, and signing up.
On PC go to the Epic Games Store and do the same there after you have downloaded the launcher.
If all that seems like too much bother, just head to the Wuthering Waves website and sign up there instead.
The game will arrive for the PlayStation further down the line and you cannot sign up for a PlayStation account right now, we are unsure how the rewards will be dealt with for Sony’s console. We are sure Kuro will look after you though.
Wuthering Waves pre-registration rewards
As you can see from the list below and the knowledge we have already that the game is approaching 29 million sign-ups, there is only one to go. So signing up now will net you everything apart from the last goal, and should that be reached in the next few days, well you get that too.

50,000 Shell Credit on 5 million pre-registers worldwide.
10 Advanced Resonance Potion on 10 million pre-registers worldwide.
200 Astrite on 15 million pre-registers worldwide.
1 Sigil: En Route on 20 million pre-registers worldwide.
20 Lustrous Tide on 30 million pre-registers worldwide.

As artificial intelligence development continues apace, protestors are fighting back.
On Monday (May 13) a group of 20 or so people took to the street outside the London headquarters of the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology to make a stance.
The protestors make up part of an activist group aiming to make companies pause the development of large AI models which they fear could be a risk to the future of humanity. They’ve called themselves Pause AI.

PauseAI’s international protest, a thread

Their website states: “AI is a powerful technology that is increasingly transforming our world. It comes with amazing potential, but also with serious risks, including existential catastrophe.”

By far the most interesting thing about today’s NYC @PauseAI protest outside of @Microsoft were the reactions from passersby. Most people ignored it (as expected), but all the engagement I saw was supportive. The most common objection was that AI doom was inevitable. One guy… pic.twitter.com/Om3M2K0KjK

More protests are planned in San Francisco, New York, Berlin, Rome, Ottawa, and other cities.
Protesting methods and what’s more effective for Pause AI
Although the group has true intentions, the organization of its protests has left some unsure if it’s the best way to communicate its message.
According to Wired, the protesters’ Discord channel includes numerous discussions about which methods are best.
When determining whether staging sit-ins would be too disruptive, one member of the group was said to say: “Probably not. We do what we have to, in the end, for a future with humanity, while we still can.”
The leaders of the protest group Pause AI spoke with the publisher and said they were not considering more disruptive direct action such as sit-ins or encampments near AI offices for now.
“Our tactics and our methods are actually very moderate. I want to be the moderate base for a lot of organizations in this space. I’m sure we would never condone violence. I also want Pause AI to go further than that and just be very trustworthy.”
Another leader agrees: “I truly hope that we don’t need to take other actions. I don’t expect that we’ll need to. I don’t feel like I’m the type of person to lead a movement that isn’t completely legal.”
