Wuthering Waves 3.6 stream date, banners, & free codes

Kuro Games' Wuthering Waves Version 3.6 Preview Special Broadcast is set for Friday, August 7, 2026, at 19:00 UTC+8, streaming on the official Wuthering Waves YouTube and Twitch channels. The stream arrives as Version 3.5's second phase winds down, giving players their first official look at the update that follows July's Mengzhou expansion, which introduced Yangyang: Xuanling, Suisui, and the game's launch on Xbox Series X|S.

Character reveals expected

The broadcast will detail the two new limited five-star Resonators headlining Version 3.6: Qingxiao, an Aero Sword character, and Jingran, who wields Fusion. Both are expected to receive full kit breakdowns and combat showcases during the stream, continuing the Mengzhou storyline introduced in Version 3.5 with Yangyang: Xuanling and Suisui.

Redemption codes

Kuro Games typically distributes three redemption codes during these broadcasts, each worth 100 Astrite, for 300 Astrite total alongside secondary materials such as Resonance Potions and Shell Credits. This pattern held for the versions 3.4 and 3.5 broadcasts and is expected to repeat for 3.6. Codes are usually valid for a short window after the stream, so players should redeem them promptly through Settings > Other Settings > Redemption Code, then collect rewards from the in-game mailbox.

Version 3.6 release window

Kuro Games has not confirmed an official release date for Version 3.6. Based on the standard six-week update cycle, and with Version 3.5 concluding on August 19, players expect 3.6 to launch around August 20 or 21. The broadcast should confirm the exact date, along with the banner order for Qingxiao and Jingran and any rerun characters.

The stream follows Version 3.5's release on July 10, which introduced the Mengzhou region, Yangyang: Xuanling, and Suisui, and marked Wuthering Waves' official launch on Xbox Series X|S.
