Wuthering Waves 3.8 "Lilies in a Dying Dream" Is Live: Lily, PS5 Pro Support and Everything New Explained

Kuro Games has launched Wuthering Waves Version 3.8, "Lilies in a Dying Dream," on November 12, 2026, bringing a new playable Resonator, a continuation of the main story, PS5 Pro enhancements, and a round of quality-of-life changes across PC, mobile, Cloud, and consoles. Here's everything confirmed for the update, from the new 5-star character to the technical upgrades on PlayStation and Xbox.

1. Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 Is Live

Kuro Games confirmed the November 12 launch date for "Lilies in a Dying Dream" in an official press release issued November 6 from Guangzhou, following the version preview broadcast earlier that week. If you want the rundown of what was teased before launch, our preview broadcast recap covers the original announcement; this article covers what actually shipped.

The update is available on PC, iOS, Android, Cloud, PlayStation 5 (including PS5 Pro), and Xbox Series X|S. As with previous patches, the exact server-side unlock time varies by region, so players should check the in-game maintenance notice for their own server's downtime window.

For anyone newer to Kuro Games' open-world action RPG, Wuthering Waves has been running on a roughly six-week update cadence since launch, with each numbered patch adding a story chapter, at least one new playable Resonator, and a fresh rotation of limited-time events. Version 3.8 follows that same structure, and because it's explicitly framed as a lead-in to Version 4.0, it's a reasonable point for lapsed players to jump back in before the next major content shift.

2. Lily: The New 5-Star Resonator

The headline addition is Lily, a new 5-star Spectro Resonator who fights with a pistol. Her signature weapon, the 5-star pistol Lullaby, is a Day-1 release alongside her and is featured on her debut Resonator convene, "Bloom of Yesterday's Dreamsoil," during Phase I of the update.

Kuro Games has not published a full kit breakdown in its press materials beyond confirming her rarity, weapon type, and Spectro attribute, so treat any specific damage multipliers, skill names, or rotation guides you see elsewhere as unofficial until Kuro's own character showcase or in-game character page confirms them. Players who are still building out their first team should start with the fundamentals in our beginner's guide to Resonators, Echoes, and combat before chasing a new 5-star banner.

3. The Story Continues: Chapter IV Act V

On the narrative side, 3.8 continues the main story with Chapter IV, Act V: "A Bouquet for Tomorrow." Kuro Games describes this update as a stepping stone toward Version 4.0, which the publisher says will open up a new world and narrative setting for Wuthering Waves. No specific details about that new region have been confirmed yet, so anything claiming to reveal 4.0 content ahead of an official reveal should be treated as speculation.

A new Tactical Hologram challenge, Calamity Effigy, also arrives with this version, adding to the game's rotating lineup of combat trials.

4. New Events, Activities, and Rewards

Version 3.8 brings a full slate of time-limited content alongside the story update:

• Leisure events: Second Coming of Solaris: Unwritten Dreams, Lahai-Roi Blocks: Turnabout, and Lollo Campaign: Groundwork
• Combat event: Dreamfield Odyssey
• Login rewards: Gifts of Bygone Dreams (a seven-day login campaign) and the limited-time Whither the Wind event
• New cosmetics: Hiyuki's deluxe outfit "Lune Noire" and the Flaming Sakura accessory

As always, check the in-game event panel for exact start and end times in your local time zone before planning around any of these.

5. PS5 Pro Support and Platform Upgrades

Version 3.8 is also a notable patch for console players. Kuro Games confirmed that Wuthering Waves now supports PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PS5 Pro, which upscales the game's image resolution up to 4K. Supported consoles also gain a new Performance or Quality choice under Graphics Quality settings — a toggle that is not available on base PS5 or Xbox Series S, since those consoles lack the extra headroom PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X provide.

On PC, the launcher now offers a choice between Full or Basic Resources installs, and an upgraded Resource Cleanup tool is rolling out as a limited test, with Kuro Games promising more details later.

6. Quality-of-Life Changes

Beyond new content, 3.8 ships several changes aimed at smoothing out everyday play:

• Rover's Resonance Conversion page has been redesigned and now automatically switches to the matching Echo Set after a conversion, and Rover can equip Echo Sets per Resonance Attribute.
• A new Material Locator button has been added to the Guidebook and Resonator Ascension Planner, letting players jump straight to the challenges that drop the materials they need. If you're still getting a handle on Echoes and farming, our Echo system breakdown explains cost, Sonata Effects, and tuning in more depth.
• Blitz Mode now restarts material-collection challenges immediately after claiming rewards, cutting down on menu backtracking.
• Resonator animations — turning in place, movement transitions, and combat hit reactions — have been refined across the board.

7. Convene Banners This Patch

The update runs featured Resonator and Weapon convenes across two phases. Phase I features Lily on "Bloom of Yesterday's Dreamsoil," alongside reruns on "When the Runes Glitter" and "Wanderer Knows No Far and Near," with Lullaby, Solsworn Ciphers, and Emerald Sentence on the matching weapon banners. Phase II switches to "Voices on Azure Feathers," "Blessings From Dewy Winds," and "Thousand Futures Mirrored in Snow," with Azure Oath, Firstlight's Herald, and Frostburn on weapons.

Players who'd rather not chase a specific debut can instead use the Starpath Reverb II (Resonator) and Tideforge Reverb II (Weapon) convenes, which let you select which featured 5-star you want from the pool rather than relying on the standard rate-up. Exact banner-close dates can shift by server, so confirm the cutoff in your own convene screen before spending resources down to the wire.

That selectable-target structure is a meaningful difference from a standard limited banner: instead of a single rate-up character with no guaranteed outcome beyond pity, a Reverb Convene lets you lock in exactly which of the listed 5-star Resonators or weapons you're saving for, which is generally the safer option if you don't specifically want Lily herself.

8. Quick Tips and Official Resources
