What is a WPK file?

WPK files mostly belong to WinRAR. WPK files are used to store various game assets. They may hold audio files, model data, engine resources, or other game-related data.
For instance, some of these files are used as League of Legends audio files. Other WPK files work as compressed archives.

Live2D model package: These use the ZIP format and are intended for the Live2D Cubism Editor. You can find more details on their usage at Live2D's website.

Wave Engine package: These are another set of game engine packages that also use a compressed format.

Game data file: A small percentage are used as general resource archives. They can be opened with tools like WinRAR and extraction utilities.

FilExt.com note: Identify the file’s origin before choosing a tool. Some WPK files will open with general archive software, while others require game-specific or model editing programs.

WPK format details:

To view or edit WPK files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the WPK files comes to the following conclusion:

The WPK file extension is quite common and includes various formats for various programs. But the following two file formats are common:

45% of all WPK files start with the magic bytes r3d2, which are always the first bytes of this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. WPK files are between 680 KB and 12 MB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. Some examples of file names are Announcer_Global_Female1_VO_audio.wpk. Files like these are sometimes connected to music, audio, base, announcer, global, female, skin, aatrox, ahri and misc.
25% of all WPK files use ZIP compression, so several files are combined and compressed into one WPK file. 3 to 170 compressed files with names like 1d862f7d02e6008f4550188a31ca654f are common. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. WPK files are between 2 MB and 38 MB in size.
