Wuthering Waves 3.8 Brings Lily, the Train of Souls and a First Look at Version 4.0

Version 3.8 is live

Version 3.8, “Lilies in a Dying Dream,” is live as of November 12, 2026 — maintenance finished a bit early against the scheduled 04:00 to 11:00 UTC+8 window. Maintenance compensation is Astrite x300 and Crystal Solvent x2. The headline is the new 5-star Resonator Lily (Spectro, pistol, healer) with her signature weapon Lullaby. The PC download is 13 GB with 15 GB of free space required, and pre-download has been open since November 10.

The Train of Souls and the road to 4.0

The main story continues with Chapter IV Act V, “A Bouquet for Tomorrow,” in the new Train of Souls area, alongside a new Tactical Hologram challenge, Calamity Effigy. Phase 1 banners are Lily plus reruns Sigrika and Qiuyuan, running November 12 to December 3 at 09:59; Phase 2 brings Yangyang: Xuanling, Suisui and Hiyuki, with Hiyuki getting the Deluxe Outfit Lune Noire and the Flaming Sakura accessory. The update also sets up Version 4.0 — the first glimpse of the next world and narrative.

Steam players: reinstall through the Kuro launcher

One practical note for PC players: Steam players must reinstall through the Kuro launcher — the Steam version is not updated for 3.8. Do the reinstall before the 10:00 PM ET launch so the update is ready when the servers open.

What it means for buyers

Lily is a new-banner character, so accounts built around her will be the ones changing hands first — check that any listing names Lily and the Spectro element, and the right banner phase. The Steam reinstall matters for account buyers too: a Steam-only account cannot play 3.8 until it is moved through the Kuro launcher. See the Wuthering Waves page for the verified sellers listed there.
