At a glance
- Wasted Metropolis was present in CBT1 but replaced by Wuming Bay in the live game.

- The original location was intended to be near the Tiger's Maw mine.
- The post speculates on the possibility of Wasted Metropolis returning.
In a recent post on r/WutheringWaves, user /u/Electrical-Book2279 shared their continued thoughts on the removal of the Wasted Metropolis area from Wuthering Waves. The user noted that this location was present during Closed Beta Test 1 (CBT1) and was originally intended to be situated near the Tiger's Maw mine. In the current live version, this specific map section has been replaced by Wuming Bay.
The community member expressed that Wuming Bay has always felt out of place compared to other 1.0 areas, which they described as having distinct tales or unique visual characteristics. In contrast, they characterized Wuming Bay as a plain, empty coastline. The post concludes with a speculative question regarding the possibility of Wasted Metropolis ever returning to the game. This reflection highlights ongoing community discussions about content changes between beta and launch versions, specifically focusing on areas that were cut or altered. The user’s sentiment underscores a preference for the original design, suggesting that the replacement area lacks the narrative depth and visual interest found in other parts of the map. No official statement from the developers has been provided to address this specific change or the potential for future re-introduction of the cut content.
