Wuthering Waves banner schedule — what is running now, what is confirmed next, and the cadence you can plan around

By DayOneFix Editorial · August 25, 2026

Two questions bring people here, and they have different answers. What is running right now is a fact you can check. What is next is usually half-confirmed at best — so the more useful thing is the cadence, which has been stable enough to plan around.

Running now — 3.6 Phase II

Phase II went up 8 September 2026 and runs 10 September 10:00 – 29 September 11:59 (server time): Hiyuki and Mornye, both reruns, with no debut this phase. Kuro’s convene rules are the same every time and worth knowing once: a guaranteed 4★ or better every 10 attempts, the pity count is shared across all Featured Resonator Convene events (so switching banners does not reset it), and a featured Resonator is exclusive to that banner — not obtainable elsewhere once it ends.

The cadence — this is the part you can actually plan with

Every phase announcement since 3.1, from the official notices:

AnnouncedVersion · Phase
4 Feb 20263.1 Phase I
8 Apr 20263.2 Phase II
29 Apr 20263.3 Phase I
20 May 20263.3 Phase II
17 Jun 20263.4 Phase II
9 Jul 20263.5 Phase I
29 Jul 20263.5 Phase II
19 Aug 20263.6 Phase I

Gaps between consecutive announcements: 63, 21, 21, 28, 22, 20, 21 days. Drop the 63 (that one spans a version break) and the median is 21 days — three weeks per phase, with 20–28 as the observed range.

What that buys you: the cadence called Phase II to 9–10 September from the 19 August Phase I announcement, and it landed on 10 September — so the same arithmetic puts 3.7 Phase I around 29–30 September, when Phase II ends. You can decide how to split Astrites before the name is out. Our 3.6 banners page covers this version’s split in detail.

Character banners since February, with the announcement date from the official notice:

Denia’s return in 3.6 is the pattern to note: a rerun came roughly three months after the debut. One data point is not a rule, but if you missed a recent Resonator, three months is the shape of the wait rather than “gone forever”.

What we are not going to tell you

Which unannounced Resonator is next. Leaks circulate weeks ahead and are often right, but we do not publish them — a wrong one costs you real Astrites, and the official notice is only three weeks out anyway.

Exact end times to the minute. Convene events end with the version, and maintenance can move by hours. If you are cutting it close, check the in-game timer rather than any site.

Every date and banner name on this page is from Kuro Games’ own English notices on the official site (article IDs 5331, 5318, 5227, 5047, 4885, 4712, 4337, 4321, 4196), read directly rather than via an aggregator. The cadence figures are computed from those announcement dates. We have not verified the in-game start times ourselves — announcement dates and in-game availability can differ by a day around maintenance.
