As Wuthering Waves hurtles toward its next major chapter, leaks are painting a vivid picture of the 3.x update cycle. Version 3.0 promises the debut of the long-teased Lahai-Roi region—a sprawling, cyberpunk-inspired metropolis reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII's Midgar, complete with towering megastructures, social divides, and mecha warfare.
Leakers like Seele and Step have dropped bombshells on banners, characters, and mechanics, fueling hype for a meta-shifting era.
Remember, these are unconfirmed—Kuro Games could tweak everything—but the consistency across sources suggests we're in for a treat.
Version 3.0: Lahai-Roi Launch and Dual 5-Stars
Slated for a December 25, 2025 release (based on the standard 6-week patch cycle), 3.0 kicks off the Lahai-Roi arc with two flagship Resonators: Lynae and Mornye. Official teasers dropped on November 26, showcasing silhouettes and hints at academy life.
| Phase | New Character | Reruns |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Lynae (5★ Spectro Pistols – DPS/Support with artistic explosions and self-buffs) | Cartethyia (5★ Aero Sword DPS), Ciaccona (5★ Aero Pistol Sub-DPS/Support) |
| Phase 2 | Mornye (5★ Fusion Broadblade – Healer/Support with exoskeleton suit and Fusion Burst mechanics) | Augusta (5★ Electro Broadblade DPS), Iuno (5★ Aero Gauntlets Sub-DPS/Support) |
Beta preload hit 77.48 GB, signaling massive content additions like new echoes, vehicles, and possibly Rover's Fusion form unlock. Lynae's graffiti-themed kit may synergize with Shorekeeper for premium teams, per early speculation.
The Full 3.x Roadmap: A Glimpse into 3.7
Leaks extend through 3.7, blending Lahai-Roi's tech-heavy roster with Glacio (Glossio) dominance and Havoc teases. Step's roadmap aligns closely with Seele's drips, pointing to Sigrika, Lucilla, and Luuk Herssen as key players.
| Version | Key Characters & Details |
|---|---|
| 3.1 (Feb 2026?) | Female Spectro Support (Healing, Sigrika?); Blonde Mecha Man?; Rover's Electro/Fusion unlock |
| 3.2 (Mar-Apr 2026?) | Female Witch (Lucilla?)(5★ Aero/Electro); Male Electro Healer (4★) |
| 3.3 | Glacio Healer (Lucilla?); Fusion Support; Sigrika (Orange-Haired Doctor) |
| 3.4 | Lucy (Spectro Hybrid DPS); Rebecca (Havoc Support); Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Collab? |
| 3.5 | Havoc Sword DPS; Glacio Support (Meta Essential) |
| 3.6 | Female Electro Rectifier (Sentinel); 5★ Male DPS (Luuk Herssen?) |
| 3.7 | Glacio Hybrid DPS |
Expect mecha Sentinels, sound-hacking tech, and Glacio-focused endgame shaking up teams. Scar's return and Huanglong revisits (e.g., 3.5 Mengzhou) are whispered too.
What to Expect Next
3.x could rival 2.x's power creep, with Fusion/Spectro buffs and Glacio meta. Save for Lynae if you're Spectro-starved, or hoard for collabs.
