Wuthering Waves 3.8: Lily Debuts, Maintenance & Events

Wuthering Waves Version 3.8, titled Lilies in a Dying Dream, goes live on 2026-11-12 after a seven-hour maintenance. The update adds a new 5-star Spectro Resonator, a matching 5-star weapon, a new explorable area, and a full slate of events. For ongoing coverage, see our wuthering-waves news hub.

Maintenance Schedule and Compensation

Servers will be offline from 2026-11-12 04:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8). Plan your session around that window; if the maintenance is extended, the developers will post a follow-up notice and adjust compensation accordingly.

Item	Details
Maintenance window	2026-11-12 04:00–11:00 (UTC+8)
Compensation	Astrite x300, Crystal Solvent x2
Eligibility	Create a character and unlock Mail before 2026-11-12 04:00 (UTC+8)
Claim deadline	Until the next version update

Compensation is delivered via in-game Mail. Make sure your account meets the eligibility cutoff before the servers go down.

Pre-Download Details

Pre-download opens on 2026-11-10 10:00 (UTC+8), roughly two days before maintenance. The developers recommend a Wi-Fi connection due to the update size.

Platform	Required space	Actual package size
PC	15 GB	13 GB
Android/iOS	13 GB	9 GB

Insufficient reserved storage can prevent the update from completing. Extra space used during resource merging is freed automatically after maintenance. Pre-download can run in the background while you play, and completing it speeds up the maintenance update.

How to Pre-Download by Platform

• PC: Restart the launcher; a "New Version Pre-download" option appears below the Start button.
• Android/iOS: Tap the Pre-download button on the title screen after login or on the in-game Terminal page.
• PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC: No pre-download step is listed; update through the console store or app after maintenance begins.

5-Star Weapon Lullaby (Pistols)

Lullaby is a 5-star Pistol obtainable through the Lullaby Featured Weapon Convene. Pull value depends on Lily's final scaling, which is not detailed in the preview notice.

New Area: Train of Souls

The Train of Souls area unlocks during Main Quest Chapter IV Act V, A Bouquet for Tomorrow. You must reach the relevant story step to access it.

QoL and Systems Updates

Several account and progression systems receive changes in 3.8:

PC Resource Downloads and Cleanup (Limited Test)

The PC launcher adds two package options alongside the existing UHD/HD/SD tiers:

• Full: downloads most resources upfront; the remainder downloads after entering the game.
• Basic: downloads only what is needed to launch; additional resources download automatically based on account progress.

Resource Cleanup (Settings > Other > Resource Cleanup) lets you delete watched cutscenes and experienced environment assets to free disk space. Both features are initially limited to test participants during Version 3.7; non-participants keep the current experience and receive the Full package by default during 3.8 pre-download. Resource Cleanup requires test access.
