While she has yet to appear in Wuthering Waves’ story, other Black Shore members such as Alto and Camellya, have frequently crossed paths with the Rover and their companions.

That said, the Shorekeeper is stunning, and if that got your attention, you’re in the right place. In this ONE Esports article, we reveal the Shorekeeper release date, alongside details of her 5-star banner.

When is the Shorekeeper release date?

The Shorekeeper should be released during phase 1 of Wuthering Waves 1.3, which kick offs on September 26, 2024, after the conclusion of Xiangli Yao‘s banner. 

However, since Kuro Games haven’t revealed the concrete release date for the update 1.3, take this information of the Shorekeeper release date with a grain of salt.

As mentioned previously, the Shorekeeper hasn’t appeared in the Wuthering Waves story yet, but the blue butterfly from her drip art can be spotted multiple times in Wuthering Waves’ official release date trailer

Since the Black Shore is very protective of its identity, and has shown significant interest in Rover, it’s not far-fetched to assume that the Shorekeeper has been keeping an eye on their journey through her butterfly. 

It’s all speculation on our behalf, but if true, the Shorekeeper could have a major role to play in the game’s story. Also, as evident from the confrontation between the Rover and Camellya, the Black Shore could ultimately turn out to be an enemy faction with their leader, the Shorekeeper, being a new weekly boss in the game.

Laying rest to all the speculations, here’s what we do know about the Shorekeeper thanks to the official character description: 

“The Shorekeeper of the Black Shores, a mysterious divine being governing the essence of aloofness, emerges in response to your summon. Having spent eons in guardianship, the first stirrings of emotion and desire awaken within her heart, fostering a firm determination to connect with the world — and with you.”

When will the Shorekeeper banner conclude in Wuthering Waves?

The Shorekeeper banner should conclude on October 17, 2024, assuming there are no delays upon release.

There’s still some time left before the enigmatic Black Shore leader arrives in Wuthering Waves, so don’t forget to farm lots of Astrites and Radiant Tides if you are planning to pull for her.
