Every Wuthering Waves version from 1.0 to now, with full banner and event detail for the version currently live.
Measured from our own release log, not rounded off: across 19 gaps the cycle has run 32–49 days, averaging 40.9. So "about six weeks" is roughly right but hides how much a patch can slip either way.

How the patch cycle works
Each Wuthering Waves version is split into two banner phases roughly 3 weeks apart — Phase 1 opens with the patch, Phase 2 swaps in partway through. A version usually pairs one brand-new 5★ Resonator with a rerun of an older one per phase, plus their signature weapons.
The patch number (e.g. 3.5) identifies the version; the version name (e.g. "Blade of Past Resounds") is the marketing title Kuro Games gives the story arc shipping with it.
What this page shows per version
For every version: the banner headliners and the exact date range, cross-checked across several independent community trackers and used only where they agree. For the version currently live, this expands to the full Phase 1/Phase 2 banner list with 4★ rate-ups, confirmed livestream codes tied to that patch, and the event lineup with F2P Astrite estimates.
Older versions only list what is confirmed (banner names + dates) — details Kuro Games never published for a past patch are left out rather than guessed.
