How Long Do Warframe Nightwaves Last?

The last five Nightwaves ran between 104 and 163 days: Vol. 8 was the shortest at 104 days (Feb–May 2025) and Nora's Mix: Dreams of the Dead was the longest at 163 days (Oct 2025–Apr 2026). Using the five-season average of ~139 days, Time Tempests is estimated to end around late August 2026 — but Digital Extremes sets dates based on content readiness, not a fixed cadence.

Nora's Mix: Time Tempests — Season Overview

Nora's Mix: Time Tempests is Warframe's 14th Nightwave event, built around a past, present, and future time theme. Unlike the full story-driven Series 1–3, it is a Nora's Mix season — an interim pass with no serialized narrative, focused purely on delivering cosmetics and gameplay rewards.

The season launched April 8, 2026 alongside Update 42: The Shadowgrapher, which added Follie (the 64th Warframe), a new game mode set in the destroyed Vesper Relay, and the Awakening quest remaster. Time Tempests rewards pair particularly well with Protea Caladrius and Caliban Orfeo, featuring new Augment Mods and matching cosmetics across its 30 tiers.

After Time Tempests ends, Digital Extremes has teased Nightwave Series 4 — the first full story-driven season since Series 3: Glassmaker (2020–2021). No start date or name for Series 4 has been confirmed as of June 2026.

Update 42: The Shadowgrapher

Update 42: The Shadowgrapher launched on March 25, 2026, bringing Follie — the 64th Warframe — whose abilities bring ink to life using her sketchbook. The update also expanded Warframe to Nintendo Switch 2 and added a full rework of the Awakening quest for new players.

Warframe Nightwave — Free Battle Pass Guide

Nightwave is completely free — there is no paid pass to purchase. Players earn Nightwave Cred by completing daily challenges (1,000–2,000 Cred each) and weekly challenges (3,000–7,000 Cred each), which can be exchanged at Nora Night's rotating shop for exclusive weapons, mods, cosmetics, and resources.

Time Tempests has 30 Standard Ranks unlocked by earning Nightwave Points, plus 150 Prestige Ranks available after reaching max rank for additional Cred. All tiers are free — players who fall behind should focus on Elite Weekly Challenges for the highest Cred payouts.

Once Time Tempests ends, all unclaimed rank rewards are permanently lost. Nightwave Cred does not carry forward between seasons — spend it before the season closes.

What Can You Buy With Nightwave Cred?

Nora Night's shop rotates items including high-value Aura Mods (typically the best value pick), Potent Forma, rare Warframe components, and cosmetics unavailable anywhere else. The shop refreshes weekly, so check back each reset for new offerings before Time Tempests ends.
