Kuro Games has revealed Wuthering Waves Version 3.8, titled "Lilies in a Dying Dream," and it goes live on November 12, 2026 (UTC+8). The headline is a new 5-star Resonator named Lily, but the update also adds a story chapter, a new Tactical Hologram challenge, PS5 Pro support and a batch of quality-of-life fixes. Here is everything announced so far.

Quick summary

Release: November 12, 2026 (UTC+8). Kuro had not given an exact start time at the time of the reveal, so watch the official maintenance notice.
New character: Lily, a 5-star Spectro Resonator who fights with pistols.
New weapon: Lullaby, her 5-star signature pistol.
Story: Chapter IV Act V, "A Bouquet for Tomorrow," which also begins setting up Version 4.0.
New challenge: Tactical Hologram: Calamity Effigy.
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series, iOS and Android.

Who is Lily in Wuthering Waves?

Lily is the only brand-new Resonator in 3.8. Sportskeeda's livestream summary describes her as a 5-star Spectro pistol user from the New Federation and an off-field support who can heal allies. Inven Global describes her as a perfumer, and GameTrader's breakdown of the stream says she served as a combat medic before boarding the Soul Train. The update's story takes place in the Sonoro Sphere, where souls killed in the war between Resonators and ordinary people are trapped, and Lily tries to help them.

GameTrader's kit summary says her Resonance Skill switches between "Sweet Dream" and "Nightmare" states, and her Liberation puts her to sleep and creates a dream bubble that draws enemies in and heals allies. Treat the finer kit details as preview-stream information that can change before launch.

What are the 3.8 banners?

RPG Site lists the featured convenes from Kuro's announcement. Character banners are split into two phases:

Phase	Featured Resonator banners	Featured weapon banners
Phase I	Bloom of Yesterday's Dreamsoil (Lily), When the Runes Glitter, Wanderer Knows No Far and Near	Lullaby, Solsworn Ciphers, Emerald Sentence
Phase II	Voices on Azure Feathers, Blessings From Dewy Winds, Thousand Futures Mirrored in Snow	Azure Oath, Firstlight's Herald, Frostburn

Reports from the stream say Sigrika and Qiuyuan return in Phase I alongside Lily, while Phase II brings back Yangyang Xuanling, Suisui and Hiyuki. Version 3.8 also brings back the selector-style Reverb Convenes: Starpath Reverbs II for Resonators and Tideforge Reverbs II for weapons, where you pick a 5-star target and can change it at any time. One guide lists Camellya, Roccia, Phoebe and Brant as the Resonator options, but Kuro said further details would come in official announcements, so confirm before you spend Astrite.

What else is new in Version 3.8?

Hiyuki's Deluxe Outfit: "Lune Noire," with a new accessory called Flaming Sakura.
Events: leisure events Second Coming of Solaris: Unwritten Dreams, Lahai-Roi Blocks: Turnabout and Lollo Campaign: Groundwork, the combat event Dreamfield Odyssey, a seven-day login event called Gifts of Bygone Dreams, and a limited-time login event named Whither the Wind.
Rover: a redesigned Resonance Conversion page that automatically switches the equipped Echo set to match the new Resonance Attribute.
Farming help: a Material Locator button in the Guidebook and Resonator Ascension Planner that teleports you to unlocked challenges, plus a Blitz Mode that restarts a material challenge immediately after you claim rewards.
Animation polish: smoother turning, movement transitions and combat hit reactions.

Does Wuthering Waves 3.8 support PS5 Pro and PC storage options?

Yes on both counts. On supported consoles you can pick Performance or Quality under Graphics Quality, though Kuro says this is unavailable on PS5 and Xbox Series S. On PS5 Pro you can switch on PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to lift image resolution up to 4K. On PC, new launcher options let you choose between Full Resources and Basic Resources, and an upgraded Resource Cleanup tool helps free up storage. Kuro is rolling the PC options out gradually in a limited test.

When does Wuthering Waves 3.8 release in India?

The date is November 12 in UTC+8, which is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of India. Kuro usually finishes maintenance early on release day in UTC+8, which would be the previous evening or morning in India, but the exact window has not been published. Check the in-game notice or Kuro's social channels on the day. If you play on mobile, make sure you have storage free before the update, as new versions are typically sizeable.

Should you pull for Lily?

It is too early for a firm verdict, because the data comes from a preview stream and no one has tested her in real content yet. What we can say is that she is a healing support, so she fits players who want sustain more than raw damage, and that Phase I includes two rerun banners if you missed earlier characters. If you are saving Astrite, the Reverb selector banner is a safer way to target a specific 5-star. Keep an eye on our launch calendar and deals page for other free games and discounts while you wait for the patch.
