The Short Answer
Version 3.6, "Last and First Principles," only just went live on July 2 with the new 6-star Enigma, but the community is already looking one step ahead, because Version 3.7 is lining up to be the third-anniversary patch, and in Reverse: 1999 the anniversary is the single most generous, most important version of the year. Nothing about 3.7 is fully locked yet, so treat everything below as a mix of confirmed groundwork and well-founded expectation rather than a finished patch note. The one thing you can act on with total confidence today: start saving your pulls now. Anniversary versions are where you want a full bank of currency ready to spend.
This is a HostedGG preview. Where a detail is confirmed we say so; where it is a pattern from past versions or an unverified leak, we flag it clearly. Dates for 3.7 are not official at the time of writing.
Where We Are: 3.6 Set the Stage
Before looking forward, it helps to know where the current version leaves you. Version 3.6 is built around Enigma, a 6-star Intellect Afflatus arcanist who deals Reality damage and is tied to the Laplace faction. Unusually, Enigma runs as a single banner for the full three weeks with no first-half and second-half split, and her pickup pool boosts the 5-stars Marilyn and Charlie. A new Psychube arrives for Regulus in the same patch.
The takeaway for anyone eyeing the anniversary: 3.6 is a relatively contained version. One headline 6-star, one banner window. That is exactly the kind of patch that lets a disciplined player finish it with a healthy pull reserve intact, which is precisely what you want walking into 3.7.
What Anniversary Versions Historically Deliver
Reverse: 1999's anniversary patches have a well-established shape, and it is the reason veterans treat them as the pull-savings finish line for the whole year. Based on how prior anniversaries have run, here is what a third-anniversary 3.7 is very likely to include:
- A free 6-star selector. The headline anniversary reward in past years has been a selectable 6-star from a defined pool, letting newer players fill a gap in their roster or veterans grab a unit they missed. This alone is worth planning your account around.
- A heavy stream of free pulls. Anniversary login events, story rewards, and celebration mailboxes historically hand out a large stack of Unilogs and Clear Drops, effectively subsidizing a chunk of your pity on the banner.
- A marquee new 6-star. Anniversary versions typically debut a strong, build-defining unit as the centerpiece of the celebration. Expect the version's flagship arcanist to be a meta consideration, not a filler release.
- Quality-of-life and generosity tuning. Bluepoch has used anniversaries to roll out account convenience features and one-off gifts that stick around afterward.
None of that is a guarantee for 3.7 specifically, but it is the consistent template, and it is why we are telling you to save rather than spend.
What Is Genuinely Unconfirmed
We want to be straight with you about the line between pattern and fact. As of now, the exact 3.7 release date, the anniversary character lineup, the contents of any 6-star selector, and the specifics of the anniversary event are not officially confirmed for global. CN-side information tends to arrive first and gives a preview of what global will get, but even leaked or datamined details should be treated as provisional until Bluepoch posts an official version trailer and patch notes. If you see a confident "3.7 will definitely include X" claim right now, be skeptical.
We will update our coverage the moment the official version stream lands. For the current read on how CN content flows to global and what is on the horizon, see our CN to global roadmap breakdown.
How To Prepare Your Account
The value of an anniversary version is only as good as your ability to spend into it. Here is how to be ready:
- Bank your Unilogs and Clear Drops. If you do not urgently need a 3.6 unit, hold your currency. Every pull you carry into 3.7 is a pull you do not have to earn under time pressure during the celebration.
- Clear your free-pull sources. Finish story chapters, mop up event shops, and claim standing rewards you have been sitting on. Anniversary readiness is partly just good housekeeping.
- Know your roster gaps. If a selector does appear, you want to already know which unit fixes your team the most, whether that is a missing sub-DPS, a survivability piece, or a specific Afflatus you lack. Our team building guide is the fastest way to spot the hole in your lineup.
- Watch the pity, not the hype. Anniversary FOMO is real. Decide your spending ceiling before the banners go live and stick to it.
Should Newer Players Wait?
If you are on the fence about starting Reverse: 1999, the run-up to an anniversary is one of the best on-ramps the game offers. A wave of free pulls plus a potential 6-star selector means a fresh account can go from empty to genuinely competitive in a single version. If that is you, our beginner guide will get you through the early chapters efficiently so you arrive at the anniversary with your account ready to cash in. You can also check where the current units land on our Reverse: 1999 tier list and grab any live redeem codes for a head start on currency.
The Bottom Line
Version 3.7 is not official yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What is certain is the shape of the moment: an anniversary patch in Reverse: 1999 is the biggest, most generous version of the year, and the players who benefit most are the ones who walked in with a full pull bank and a clear plan. Spend 3.6 conservatively, keep your currency, and know exactly which unit you would pick if a selector shows up. Do that, and whatever Bluepoch reveals for the third anniversary, you will be ready to make the most of it. We will have the full breakdown the day the official version trailer drops.
