Dreams & Nightmares Case - Rumours and Speculations

All the information being discussed in this section needs to be taken with a pinch of salt because almost all of it is community speculation, backed by factual data.

Majority of the community is off the opinion that the upcoming Dreams & Nightmares Case is most likely to feature in the next CS:GO Operation, which would be the 11th for Counter-Strike. This opinion is roughly based on these two points,

  • The logo that was launched along with the art contest called 'CS:GO Dreams & Nightmares Workshop' is similar in theme and design to the logos of the previous two operations - Broken Fang and Shattered Web.

  • Not only this, the winners of this art contest are scheduled to be announced on 21st November, which is very close to the release dates of the last two CS:GO operations.

    Shattered Web (9th Operation): 18th Nov 2019

    Broken Fang (10th Operation): 3rd Dec 2020

This is all the information we have about the upcoming Dreams & Nightmares Case which is still considerably quite a long way off. Valve might be releasing another weapon case in the interim, possibly before the upcoming CS:GO Major.
