by

The new update for Wuthering Waves, version 3.3, launches on April 30, 2026, and is the largest one released this year. It also marks the game’s second anniversary! Along with a continuing story, new characters—Hiyuki and Denia—and fresh events, Kuro Games is offering players special rewards to show their appreciation for their support.

Version 3.3 offers a lot of goodies for everyone, including new players and those returning to the game! You can earn free items, special in-game currency, cosmetic upgrades, and exclusive accessories. Just remember that most of these rewards are part of the anniversary celebration and won’t be around forever – they’re only available for a limited time during this update.

Okay, so the anniversary event is coming up, and I wanted to give you the full scoop on all the rewards and how to snag them. Basically, here’s everything you need to know about earning stuff during the event!

Wuthering Waves Version 3.3’s second anniversary will be packed with free goodies! You’ll be able to earn rewards through daily logins, special events, and collaborations with other games. Expect to receive dozens of free pulls for new characters and items, plus materials to strengthen your team and exclusive cosmetic items.

Radiant Tides (Limited Pull Currency)

Radiant Tides are the special currency used for limited-time events, and in Version 3.3, there are several ways to earn them.

  • 20 Radiant Tides via login rewards
    • 10 of them will be available immediately after the update goes live on April 30, 2026
    • Another 10 will be released on May 23, 2026
  • 10 Radiant Tides from the “Bountiful Waves” event
  • 5 Radiant Tides from the 7-day login event

This brings the total to 35 Radiant Tides, which is certainly a lot of free pulls.

Additional Pull Currency

Beyond Radiant Tides, players can also earn other banner currencies:

  • 10 Forging Tides (used for weapon banners)
  • 15 Lustrous Tides (standard banner pulls)
    • 10 from the “Second Coming of Solaris” collab event
    • 5 from login rewards

Altogether, we’re getting a ton of different pulls for both limited and standard banners.

Astrites from Anniversary Events

As a player, I’ve learned that Astrites are super important because you can trade them for pulls – basically, more chances to get cool stuff! Luckily, the anniversary events are usually really generous with giving them out, so I always stock up then.

  • Star Bouncing event
    • Up to 1200 Astrites
    • Additional rewards include a title, modifiers, and upgrade materials
  • Cubie Derby Championship
    • Around 300 Astrites plus Shell Credits

Participating in Astrites, along with other activities and events, greatly increases the total number of pulls you receive.

Livestream Redeem Codes (Limited-Time)

Plus, we’ve got three bonus codes revealed during the Wuthering Waves Version 3.3 livestream on April 17, 2026, which will give you additional in-game rewards.

  • FACEALEPH1 – 100 Astrite + upgrade materials
  • 2NDANNIVERSARY – 100 Astrite + Shell Credits
  • EVERSHINE – 100 Astrite + tuning materials

These codes are only good until April 19, 2026, so be sure to use them soon before they expire.

Total Pull Value

When combining all sources:

  • ~35 Radiant Tides
  • 10 Forging Tides
  • 15 Lustrous Tides
  • Astrites equivalent to roughly 10+ pulls

This update gives players around 45 to 50 free chances to get new characters or items, making Version 3.3 one of the most generous updates the game has seen.

Anniversary Events, Cosmetics, and Exclusive Items

Although getting free characters is the biggest draw, Version 3.3 also includes lots of unique outfits, items, and rewards from events, giving players lasting benefits beyond just in-game money.

Exclusive Anniversary Cosmetics

Players can collect several themed items that commemorate the second anniversary:

  • Tidesong Once More – Anniversary Avatar
  • Irreplaceable Memories – Anniversary Sigil
  • Flowers For You – Expedition Motorbike Livery
  • Hiyuki Cube – Motorbike accessory

These items are purely cosmetic but serve as limited-edition collectibles tied to the event.

Character Accessories

Several playable characters receive unique accessories during the anniversary:

  • Snowfluff Seal – Aemeath’s accessory
  • Stillmind – Hiyuki’s accessory
  • Denia’s Doll – Denia’s accessory

These customization choices are just one part of a larger effort in Version 3.3 to give players more ways to personalize their characters.

Event-Based Rewards and Activities

This anniversary celebration isn’t just about showing up—it’s all about taking part in special events. Here are some of the highlights:

Star Bouncing

This special anniversary mode features characters redesigned as cute, small pinball figures. Players can earn rewards by participating, including:

Merchandise and Real-World Releases

Alongside in-game rewards, the anniversary also features themed merchandise, including:

  • Crystal Sky Chassis Set (motorbike-themed set)
  • Golden Coffee Ring
  • Plush Dream collectibles

If you’re interested in physical items to go with your in-game rewards, those are available as well.

Of course, we’ll also be showered with some of the usual in-game resources like:

  • Shell Credits (main currency)
  • Premium Tuners and upgrade materials
  • Echo-related items and modifiers

These items are really important for improving your character, so the anniversary update is worthwhile even if you don’t plan on spending money on the game’s random draws.

The upcoming Version 3.3 of Wuthering Waves looks like a great update for the game’s second anniversary! It includes plenty of free rewards, fun events, and lots of cosmetic items. While players were hoping for more returning character banners like last year, the overall rewards are still quite good.

To fully enjoy the anniversary celebration, be sure to check in often, finish the event tasks, and keep an eye on important dates. Version 3.3 offers a chance to win up to 50 rewards, plus special, limited-time items!

Now is a particularly good time to come back to Wuthering Waves or try to get new characters like Hiyuki and Denia.
