When is the Wuthering Waves Yinlin Banner Date? (Server Maintenance Countdown)

Kuro Games surprised fans when they announced that they were moving up the release of the Wuthering Waves Yinlin Banner date to June 5, 2024, at 7:00 PM PDT. This initially left some fans confused about the Wuthering Waves 1.1 release date. However, despite Yinlin’s new banner date, the 1.1 patch is not actually being moved up.

Instead, the 5-star Electro character is just being moved to Wuthering Waves 1.0 to run alongside the Jiyan banner. For your convenience, though, we will break down when the Wuthering Waves Yinlin Banner goes live in each region below:

According to Kuro Games, Yinlin was moved up in the game’s 1.0 schedule to give players more launch content to engage with. This means that the Wuthering Waves 1.1 update will get a new 5-star character banner that will launch on June 28 in place of Yinlin. At the time of writing, we do not yet know which character will be featured, although it’s rumored to be Jihsin by leakers.

Wuthering Waves is now available on iOS, Android, and PC.
