It’s almost time for Wuthering Waves update 1.3 – and developer Kuro Games slightly changed up its release schedule for the upcoming version. Instead of during the work week, WuWa gets its next content update over the weekend, giving players plenty of time to dive right into things.
Version 1.3 of the game comes with two new characters, Shorekeeper and Youhu, as well as a lore-heavy continuation of the main story, which takes place in a new area of the map – the Black Shores.
Here are all the details on the Wuthering Waves update 1.3 start and server downtime.
The Wuthering Waves servers are scheduled to go offline on September 29, 2024, at 4am (UTC+8) in preparation for update 1.3. Here’s what that means for your timezone:
The Wuthering Waves servers are estimated to be offline for a duration of seven hours, after which players will be able to log back in and start digging into update 1.3’s content additions.
Here’s when Wuthering Waves update 1.3 should be available in your timezone if everything with the update and its connected maintenance goes according to plan:
Kuro Games will provide a downtime compensation of 300 Astrite and 2 Crystal Solvent once the servers are back up. You’ll be able to find these free goodies inside your in-game mailbox, where they will remain claimable until version 1.4 is rolled out – so be sure to grab your freebies before the time is up.
You can preload Wuthering Waves update 1.3 on PC if you have version 1.6.2 of the launcher – in that case, a button to preload the coming patch should appear right below the start button.
PC is currently the only platform you can preload Wuthering Waves 1.3 on, as iOS and Android don’t enjoy the benefits of this feature yet.
The exact size of the Wuthering Waves update will depend on your installed language package and the device you play on. Kuro Games recommends you have the following amount of free storage space for the update:
Make sure to be connected to Wi-Fi before downloading the update on mobile devices.
