Kuro Games has confirmed the maintenance schedule for Wuthering Waves Version 3.2, titled “Resolution to Illuminate the Shadows.” Servers will go offline on March 19, 2026, and players will not be able to log into the game during this window.
Here is everything you need to know about the downtime, including start and end times across regions, compensation details, and what to do before the servers go down.
When Does Wuthering Waves 3.2 Maintenance Start and End?
The Version 3.2 update maintenance will begin on March 19, 2026, at 4:00 AM (UTC+8). It will last for seven hours, with an expected end time of 11:00 AM (UTC+8) on the same day.
This follows the same pattern as previous updates. Kuro Games has consistently used the 4 AM to 11 AM (UTC+8) window for major version updates, including 3.0 and 3.1.
That said, maintenance can sometimes wrap up earlier than the full seven hours. It is still best to plan around the entire window.
Wuthering Waves 3.2 Maintenance Times Across Different Time Zones
Since the downtime runs globally at the same time, it falls on different dates depending on your region. For players in North America, the maintenance actually starts on March 18.
Here is the full schedule:
- PDT (UTC-7): March 18, 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM
- EDT (UTC-4): March 18, 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM
- GMT (UTC+0): March 18, 8:00 PM to March 19, 3:00 AM
- CET (UTC+1): March 18, 9:00 PM to March 19, 4:00 AM
- IST (UTC+5:30): March 19, 1:30 AM to 8:30 AM
- JST (UTC+9): March 19, 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM
- AEST (UTC+11): March 19, 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Players in India, for example, will see the downtime start in the early hours and end by morning. American players can expect it during the afternoon and evening of March 18.
Wuthering Waves 3.2 Maintenance Compensation
Kuro Games will compensate all eligible Rovers for the server downtime. Based on previous version updates like 3.0 and 3.1, players can expect to receive 300 Astrites and 2 Crystal Solvents through the in-game mailbox.
To qualify for the compensation, your account needs to have a character with the Mail feature unlocked before the maintenance begins. Once the update goes live, just open your mailbox and collect the rewards.
If the maintenance runs longer than expected, Kuro Games has said they will issue a follow-up notice and adjust the compensation accordingly.
Preload Details for Version 3.2
The preload for Wuthering Waves 3.2 went live on March 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). However, there is one important change this time around. The pre-download feature is only available on PC for Version 3.2. Mobile players will not have access to preload for this update.
The PC download size is approximately 19 GB. Kuro Games recommends having at least 28 GB of free storage space to account for decompression and installation.
What to Do Before the Servers Go Down
Since you will be locked out for up to seven hours, it is a good idea to take care of a few things in advance:
Finish your dailies. Any tasks tied to the daily or weekly reset should be completed before the maintenance starts in your region.
Wrap up limited-time events. If there are any Version 3.1 events still running with approaching deadlines, clear them now. You will not get another chance once the servers shut down.
Use your remaining stamina. There is no point letting Waveplate energy sit idle during a seven-hour window. Spend it before maintenance begins.
Make your final banner pulls. Version 3.1 banners will close before the 3.2 update goes live. If you are still pulling on current banners, do it before the downtime.
What is Coming in Wuthering Waves Version 3.2?
Once the maintenance ends, players will have access to a solid batch of new content. Here is a quick overview of what Version 3.2 brings:
New Story Content: Main Quest Chapter III Act IV and a new Segue quest continue the ongoing narrative in Lahai-Roi.
New Resonator: Sigrika is the only new 5-star character in this update, available through her featured Convene banner alongside her signature weapon, Solsworn Ciphers.
New Enemies: Six new enemy types are being added, including Phagosite: Bipolarch, Phagosite: Hysterarch, Phagosite: Miserarch, Fractsidus Milliner, Fractsidus Mawdoll, and Fractsidus Ripper.
Endstate Matrix Update: The endgame challenge system is getting a rework with rotating Challenge Cycles. The first one, Endstate Matrix: Doomsday Cycle, will run from Version 3.2 through Version 3.4.
New Tactical Hologram: Tactical Hologram: Hyvatia is a new boss challenge being introduced with this patch.
Special Events: Multiple events are coming, including Soar to the Beat, Lahai-Roi Blocks, Speed up! F.U.E.L. Instrumentality Project!, Knights of the Wild, The Flaming Red in Memory, and Gifts of Solsworn.
Permanent Events: Whispers Between Stars is being added as a permanent event alongside the Endstate Matrix.
Motorbike Liveries: Two new Expedition Motorbike skins, Queen Livery and Violet Livery (Persona 5 Royal collaboration), will be available from the in-game store starting April 9, 2026. The Persona 5 Royal livery continues the collaboration that first launched with Version 3.0, which introduced the initial wave of Persona and Sonic motorbike skins.
How to Update Your Client After Maintenance
Once the servers come back online, you can update the game on your platform:
PC: Close the game, restart the launcher, and click “Update.” Android: Launch the game and follow the update pop-up instructions. iOS/Mac: Download or update through the App Store. PS5: Go to the home screen, select Wuthering Waves, press the OPTIONS button, and choose “Check for Update.”
The Wuthering Waves 3.2 update should go live immediately after maintenance ends. No separate launch window is planned.
