Wuthering Waves Version Countdown and End Date

Wuthering Waves Version 3.7: "Prism's Illusion, Heart's Illumination" launched September 30, 2026 at 03:00 UTC, continuing the Mengzhou storyline. Kuro Games has not yet posted the Version 3.8 maintenance date, so the exact close is not confirmed; the game's roughly six-week cadence and the datamined schedule point to Version 3.7 ending around November 10, 2026, and the countdown above tracks that estimate until Kuro confirms it.

Version 3.7 runs across two banner phases: Hsin, a 5-star Electro Rectifier Resonator and the first playable Sentinel, headlines Phase 1, while Suoming, a 5-star Electro Sword Resonator, arrives when Phase 2 opens on October 22, 2026.

Version 3.7: "Prism's Illusion, Heart's Illumination" went live on September 30, 2026 and pushes the Mengzhou story forward with a new Main Quest act, two new 5-star Electro Resonators, a new area and a run of limited-time events.

Wuthering Waves has no wipe. Your Resonators, weapons and Echoes stay; what closes with Version 3.7 is the time-limited layer.

• Hsin, Iuno and Qingxiao banners: the Phase 1 Convenes close when Phase 2 opens on October 22. If you are saving pity for Hsin, pull before the swap, because Phase 2 replaces the featured lineup with Suoming.
• Pioneer Podcast: the current Podcast period is tied to Version 3.7. Finish the level missions you still can and claim every reward, including the Insider Channel's level 30 pick of a 4-star weapon if you bought it, before the period rolls over.
• Limited events: the version's combat and leisure events stop paying out Astrite and materials when they end. Check each event's own timer in game, as some close earlier than the version.
• Event shops: spend any event currency before its shop closes.

Version 3.8 has not been previewed yet. Kuro Games announces each version through a preview livestream and a maintenance notice on the official site, typically a few days before the update, so its name, banners and start date are not yet known. Based on the game's cadence it is expected to arrive when Version 3.7 closes, around November 10, 2026. The countdown above uses that estimate until Kuro posts the official date.

Recent versions have run with some jitter rather than a strict cadence: Version 3.6: Lamplight in Mirage, Sword's Resolve in Heart (August 20 – September 30, 2026, 41 days), Version 3.5 (July 10 – August 20, 2026, 41 days), Version 3.4: The Dream Not Dreamed (June 8 – July 10, 2026, a shortened 32-day cycle tied to a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration), Version 3.3 (April 30 – June 8, 2026, 39 days), and Version 3.2: Resolution to Illuminate the Shadows (March 19 – April 30, 2026, 42 days).

Because the cadence varies rather than landing on an exact interval every time, each version's end date is only firm once Kuro Games posts the official maintenance notice, typically a few days ahead of the update.
