CS2 will get a new operation as soon as Valve has brought CS2 into a stable state. Currently, resources are still being used to fix bugs in CS2. Once all major bugs have been fixed, Valve will start developing new content in the form of operations.
No one can say exactly how long this will take. Presumably the next Operation will already be in the planning stage and it shouldn't be too long before it is released. CS2 has been released for some time now and Valve has had plenty of time to fix bugs.
Past operations and their release date
The only way we have to estimate when a new operation will come out is to past operations to look at:
Operation | Publication date | Duration |
---|---|---|
Operation Riptide | September 2021 | 5 months |
Operation Broken Fang | December 2020 | 5 months |
Operation Shattered Web | November 2019 | 4 ½ months |
Operation Hydra | May 2017 | 5 ½ months |
Operation Wildfire | February 2016 | 5 months |
Operation Bloodhound | May 2015 | 4 months |
Operation Vanguard | November 2014 | 4 months |
Operation Breakout | July 2014 | 3 months |
Operation Phoenix | February 2014 | 4 ½ months |
Operation Bravo | September 2013 | 5 ½ months |
Operation Payback | April 2013 | 5 months |
This shows that the speed of new operations has decreased significantly, especially in recent years. This could be due to the development of CS2. Should Valve no longer have so much to do with CS2, we may even be lucky enough for Valve to have enough time to release a new operation twice a year.
