The development team is currently evidently focused on the first-ever operation for CS2. With the introduction of the “Arms Race” update, a significant number of elements and code snippets that directly interacted with the comics from Operation Wildfire were “erased.” Simultaneously, enhancements related to subtitles using a sophisticated algorithm have been integrated.
Given these developments, it leads to the thought that this time we might see an innovative approach—possibly replacing comics with video cutscenes that will unfold the story for players.
Answering the main question: “When will the operation for CS2 be released?”, we can only rely on old data from CS:GO. Ultimately, based on mathematical calculations, a guess can be made about the end of February, which seems somewhat absurd. Therefore, we believe that the operation will be released after the major, which would be a logical continuation of the update cycle.
