Wuthering Waves 3.7 release date countdown — 30 September, official
Wuthering Waves 3.7 unlocks worldwide at the same moment
30 September 2026
Official: Kuro's Version 3.7 Update Maintenance Notice (22 September) sets maintenance for 2026-09-30 04:00 – 11:00 (UTC+8), so the unlock is 11:00 UTC+8 = 03:00 UTC, the evening of 29 September in the Americas. Kuro notes the window can be extended, with a follow-up notice and adjusted compensation if it is. Until 28 September this page carried a derived 1 October date from the 42-day cadence; the official date is a day earlier.

Wuthering Waves 3.7, “Prism’s Illusion, Heart’s Illumination”, lands on 30 September 2026. Kuro announced it in the 18 September version preview and fixed the window in the 22 September maintenance notice. If you saw 1 October somewhere — including on this page until 28 September — that was the 42-day cadence; the official date is a day earlier.
Changelog, 28 September. Replaced the derived 1 October date with the official 30 September, switched the countdown to the announced 11:00 (UTC+8) unlock, and added the maintenance notice’s preload and compensation details. The characters below were already official; their kits still are not.
Maintenance, preload and compensation — official
From Kuro’s Version 3.7 Update Maintenance Notice, 22 September:
| Official detail | |
|---|---|
| Maintenance | 30 September, 04:00 – 11:00 (UTC+8) — unlock at 11:00 UTC+8 = 03:00 UTC, evening of 29 September in the Americas. Kuro says it may be extended, with a follow-up notice and adjusted compensation |
| Preload | Open since 28 September 10:00 (UTC+8). PC: 46 GB free needed, about 26 GB download. Android / iOS: 20 GB free, about 13 GB download. You can keep playing while it downloads |
| Compensation | Astrite ×300 + Crystal Solvent ×2, for accounts created with Mail unlocked before 30 September 04:00 (UTC+8); claimable until the next version update |
| New this version | A client resource tiering option — choose the graphics-quality pack you download. Mobile gets it for everyone after 3.7; PC (official launcher) gets it as a limited test, so some PC players cannot preload 3.7 and update after launch instead |
The mobile preload is partial this time: part of the resources come down now, the rest after the update once you pick a quality tier. Budget time on update day even if you preloaded.
The two Resonators that are official
Hsin was formally introduced on 26 August through Kuro’s “Post-Lament Anthropocene: Stars Intertwined” archive series. The official text: “the Sentinel and the guide of Mengzhou’s civilization. Deeply emotional and fond of worldly joys, she has long kept the fires of mortal life burning amid the bustle of trade and the shifting of seasons.” Her described power is division — one into many, each “Fractal Form” a distinct entity that still shares sensation with the source. She is the first playable Sentinel and a 5-star.
Suoming followed on 27 August: founder of the Ten Seals Covenant and Intendant of the Ministry of Sentinel Affairs, the office that watches over all of Mengzhou. Also confirmed 5-star.
What is not official (and why this page does not print it)
Attributes, weapon types, kits and the Phase 1 / Phase 2 order. Community write-ups disagree with each other on both characters’ elements and weapons, which is the clearest sign none of it has been published. The reasonable expectation — Hsin headlining the first half, Suoming the second, closing the Mengzhou arc — is exactly that, an expectation. When the special program confirms the banners, this page gets the schedule; until then the banner schedule page explains how to read Kuro’s cadence.
The special report and the codes
Kuro published the Version 3.7 Special Report on 18 September, alongside the version preview. This page has not independently verified any 3.7 livestream codes, so it lists none — and since Kuro’s livestream codes have historically expired within about 100 hours, any from mid-September are gone by now. The method is on how to redeem.

Sources
The 30 September date is from Kuro’s Version Preview of 18 September; the maintenance window, preload sizes, compensation and the resource-tiering note are from the Version 3.7 Update Maintenance Notice of 22 September. The earlier 1 October derivation used the 20 August anchor from Kuro’s 3.6 maintenance notice; it has been withdrawn, not quietly corrected. Hsin’s reveal and official description are as carried by GameSpace; Suoming’s by GameMarket, which also notes her kit is unpublished. The 1 October estimate is shared by Game8 and marked there as an estimate too. Nothing in any of them gives a 3.7 date, hour, banner order or livestream time — where this page has no number, none has been published.
FAQ
When does Wuthering Waves 3.7 come out?
30 September 2026 — official. Kuro's Version Preview of 18 September schedules 'Prism's Illusion, Heart's Illumination' for 30 September (UTC+8), and the 22 September maintenance notice sets the window at 04:00–11:00 (UTC+8). Unlock is 11:00 UTC+8 = 03:00 UTC, the evening of 29 September in the Americas, unless maintenance is extended. It is a day earlier than the 1 October the 42-day cadence gives.
Who are the Wuthering Waves 3.7 characters?
Hsin and Suoming. Kuro revealed Hsin on 26 August and Suoming on 27 August through the official 'Post-Lament Anthropocene: Stars Intertwined' archive series, after first showing both portraits on 15 June with the six Mengzhou Resonators. Both are 5-star. Their attributes, weapon types and kits have not been officially published — community claims about them conflict, so this page does not print any.
Who is Hsin?
In Kuro's words: 'the Sentinel and the guide of Mengzhou's civilization. Deeply emotional and fond of worldly joys, she has long kept the fires of mortal life burning amid the bustle of trade and the shifting of seasons.' Her power divides one into many — 'Fractal Forms' that each exist separately while sharing sensation with the source. She is the first playable Sentinel.
Who is Suoming?
Founder of the Ten Seals Covenant and Intendant of the Ministry of Sentinel Affairs, watching over Mengzhou — per the 27 August archive reveal. Confirmed 5-star; nothing else about her kit is official.
When is the Wuthering Waves 3.7 livestream?
Kuro published its Version 3.7 Special Report on 18 September, alongside the version preview. This page has not independently verified any 3.7 livestream codes, so it lists none; livestream codes have historically expired within about 100 hours, so any from mid-September are gone. See [how to redeem](/blog/wuwa-codes-how-to-redeem/) for the method.
Do CN and global update at the same time?
Yes — Wuthering Waves has always updated every region in a single maintenance window, so there is no CN-first gap to plan around.
