Delta Force has shipped eight numbered seasons globally since the 2024 reboot’s open-beta launch — though the season counter actually reads “Season 9,” because TiMi Studio Group skipped Season 2 in the global release to keep parity with the Chinese version. The cadence has settled into roughly 8–11 week cycles, with each season adding a new operator, at least one map, and a fresh battle pass track. This is every Delta Force season — start dates, end dates, durations, themes, and the Season 10 Meltdown launch.
Quick answer: Delta Force has shipped 9 global seasons (numbered 1, 3–10) since launch on December 5, 2024. The current Delta Force season timer carries the live estimate and confirmation status for Season 10: Meltdown; this article keeps the completed-season record stable.

How Delta Force Seasons Work
A Delta Force season is a content cycle that runs across the two core modes — Operations (extraction PvPvE) and Warfare (large-scale conquest). Each season introduces at least one new operator with a unique kit, one or more new maps, weapon additions, and a 150-tier seasonal Pass split into an Operations Pass, a Warfare Pass, and an upgraded Deluxe Pass that bundles both. Seasons also bring map reworks, vehicle changes, and time-limited collaboration events such as the Season Echo Tomb Raider crossover.
Three things reset between seasons. The Season Pass progress is wiped — unclaimed Operations and Warfare Pass tiers expire the moment the next season launches, and TiMi does not offer a buy-back. Ranked progression resets on the same boundary, with rank decay applied above a fixed floor. Time-limited event currencies (like BurstFest tokens) also expire and cannot be converted forward.
What carries over: every operator you’ve unlocked, all claimed cosmetics, weapon blueprints and skins, vehicle decals, Delta Coins (the premium currency), and your full account-level progression including weapon mastery and unlocked attachments.
All Delta Force Seasons: Complete Dates Table
Every Delta Force global season in launch order, newest first. Durations are calculated from the official start and end dates published by TiMi Studio Group, rounded to whole days. Note that Season 2 does not appear — TiMi skipped it in the global release to align the season counter with the Chinese version after a region-only Season 2 launched there first.

Season 9: Echo
Season 9 is the acoustic-intelligence chapter, themed around the new Recon operator Morse — a former Navy acoustic specialist whose Ultimate, the Advanced Sonar Device, scans a wide area and marks enemies by the sounds they make. The season added the Akh Canal Warfare map (trenches, indoor close-quarters, and a central cargo-ship chokepoint), a major Zero Dam rework with dynamic extraction zones to counter camping, and the semi-auto Barrett M82 anti-materiel sniper rifle. A Tomb Raider crossover began April 30, 2026, letting players dress operator Luna in a Lara Croft legendary skin, available without premium currency via a BurstFest event. Echo ran through June 30, 2026, when Season 10: Meltdown launched.
Season 8: Morphosis
Season 8: Morphosis ran 77 days from February 3 to April 21, 2026. The season focused on adaptive battlefield gameplay and added new operator kits and weapon attachments alongside seasonal events. It set the stage for the Echo launch on the spring rollover date that Delta Force has used twice now (April 21, 2025 and April 21, 2026).
Seasons 5–7 — the stabilized 8–11 week era
From Season 5 onward, Delta Force settled into a roughly 8–11 week cadence after the heavily front-loaded launch period. Season 5: Break (76 days) ran across the summer of 2025 alongside the August 19, 2025 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — a major scaling event that brought console parity to the global player base. Season 6: War Ablaze was the shortest of the modern era at 56 days, a deliberately compressed cycle that bridged into the holiday window. Season 7: Ahsarah returned to the 77-day cadence that has since become the de facto standard.
Seasons 1, 3, 4 — the launch era
The first three global seasons established Delta Force’s seasonal identity at uneven lengths as TiMi calibrated the live-service rhythm. Season 1: Genesis was the open-beta launch season — only 44 days, the shortest in the game’s history, because the December 5, 2024 PC open-beta release was treated as an extended preview before the full season cadence kicked in. Season 3: Starfall was the longest season ever shipped at 93 days, since it had to bridge from January 18, 2025 (the global mobile launch on iOS and Android) all the way to the spring rollover. Season 4: Eclipse Vigil at 79 days established the ~11-week template that the game has roughly followed ever since.
Season Duration Analysis
Longest and shortest seasons
- Longest: Season 3: Starfall — 93 days. It carried the game from the January 2025 mobile launch through the spring window and was the only season that had to absorb a major platform release mid-cycle.
- Shortest: Season 1: Genesis — 44 days. The PC open-beta launch season was deliberately short to set up a clean January 2025 mobile-launch rollover.
- Shortest full season: Season 6: War Ablaze — 56 days. The only modern-cadence season under 70 days, used to compress the calendar before the holiday window.
Average season duration
Across the 8 completed Delta Force seasons, the average length is about 71 days (roughly 10 weeks). Strip out the outlier launch seasons (Genesis at 44 days, Starfall at 93 days) and the six “settled” seasons (S4–S9) average 72 days — extraordinarily consistent. Season 10: Meltdown is open; the current Delta Force season timer tracks its progress toward that pattern.
Total time in service
From the Season 1: Genesis launch on December 5, 2024 to the Season 10: Meltdown launch on June 30, 2026, Delta Force shipped seasonal content for 572 consecutive days — roughly 19 months — across 8 completed cycles, with no gap days between seasons. Despite the skipped Season 2 in the global counter, the timeline itself has been continuous.
Delta Force Season 10: Meltdown
Season 10: Meltdown launched June 30, 2026, the same instant Season 9: Echo ended. The headline addition is Engineer operator Gabriel Mercier (codename N-TWO) — a former nuclear plant cooling engineer whose liquid nitrogen kit features area control, enemy-freezing effects, a smart stun grenade, and a six-shot liquid nitrogen launcher. The update introduced the AZ-5 Nuclear Plant Operations map centered on high-risk extraction and radiation mechanics, plus the large-scale Coliseum Warfare map with dynamic fire events and destructible environments. The current Delta Force season timer tracks Meltdown’s close date once TiMi confirms it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Delta Force seasons have there been?
There have been 9 Delta Force seasons in the global release since the open-beta launch on December 5, 2024. The numbering reads up to Season 10 because TiMi Studio Group skipped Season 2 in the global version — a region-only Season 2 launched in China, and the global counter jumped from Genesis (S1) directly to Starfall (S3) to keep parity with the Chinese release. The open interval is shown in the table and tracked on the Delta Force timer.
How long do Delta Force seasons last?
Modern Delta Force seasons run between 56 and 79 days (roughly 8–11 weeks). The six most recent settled seasons (S4 through S9) average about 72 days. Two outliers exist: Season 1: Genesis at 44 days (open-beta launch) and Season 3: Starfall at 93 days (had to bridge the global mobile launch to the spring rollover).
What was the longest Delta Force season?
Season 3: Starfall — 93 days, running from January 18 to April 21, 2025. It is the only Delta Force season to exceed 80 days, and it had to absorb the global iOS/Android mobile launch on January 18, 2025 mid-cycle, which is why TiMi extended its length beyond the now-standard 70–79 day window.
Why is there no Delta Force Season 2?
TiMi Studio Group skipped Season 2 in the global release to keep the season counter aligned with the Chinese version of Delta Force, which had launched one additional region-exclusive season earlier in 2024. The global timeline goes Genesis (S1) → Starfall (S3) → Eclipse Vigil (S4) and onward — there is no missing content, only a skipped number.
