Everyone and their pet chicken wants to know when the first Counter-Strike 2 (CS2)<\/a> Operation DLC pack will be released. It’s been years since the last CS Operation, as Riptide released in September 2021. Last year, Valve released CS2, replacing CS:GO, but still, there is no new Operation to enjoy.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait for new community and Valve-created content, an Operation Coin, exclusive cases, new maps, and possibly even new modes. The hardest part is not knowing how long we have to wait. Let’s jump in and have a quick discussion about the potential release of a new CS2 Operation DLC pack.<\/p>\n

When Will a CS2 Operation be Released? Let’s Discuss<\/h2>\n
\"CS2
Each CS Operation has its own unique Coin that you can level up. (Picture: Valve)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the time of writing, several rumors are making the rounds, including that the first CS2 Operation is close and that it will include a new Mills map, keychains, and much more. We do, however, suggest that you take these rumors with a large helping of salt until such time as Valve officially reveals CS2 DLC details.<\/p>\n

‎Gabe Follower on Twitter \/ X<\/span>Here’s a recap of everything interesting from the latest Counter-Strike 2 updates – hints on the next operation, keychains, character customization, new case, maps, future Valve games and much more.Watch it here: https:\/\/t.co\/yWIIqq5Oqr pic.twitter.com\/1Z5Yq9JhQP— ‎Gabe Follower (@gabefollower) June 18, 2024<\/span>‎Gabe Follower<\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

It could be months or even years before we get the first CS2 Operation. Valve has always worked on its own time, after all. <\/p>\n

The table below outlines every Operation in Counter-Strike, alongside their release dates, so we have a good overview of historic releases in CS:GO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
CS Operation DLC<\/strong><\/td>\nRelease Date of Operation<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Payback<\/td>\n25 April 2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bravo<\/td>\n19 September 2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pheonix<\/td>\n20 February 2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Breakout<\/td>\n1 July 2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Vanguard<\/td>\n11 November 2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bloodhound<\/td>\n26 May 2015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Wildfire<\/td>\n17 February 2016<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hydra<\/td>\n23 May 2017<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shattered Web<\/td>\n18 November 2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Broken Fang<\/td>\n3 December 2020<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Riptide<\/td>\n21 September 2021<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As you can see, we didn’t wait more than a year for most Operation DLCs in CS:GO, except for that one huge gap between Hydra and Shattered Web. Even so, it’s been almost three years since the last Operation was released, and CS2 is yet to have its first Operation.<\/p>\n

We speculate that the first CS2 Operation could be released before the end of 2024. Yes, there are rumors that it could be released in July or August, but we won’t take those speculations as fact just yet.<\/p>\n

We can say for sure, however, that we’ll keep our readers updated with the latest CS2 Operation DLC news. Stay tuned to our Counter-Strike 2 section<\/a> for all the latest news, updates, esports coverage, interviews, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
