Battlestate Games does not announce wipe dates clearly in advance, so there is no exact answer to "when is the next wipe". Looking at past wipes, one usually arrives with each major patch, roughly every 6 months on average. The estimated date below is based on this cadence and official announcements; it is not an official commitment and is updated as news arrives.
Key Points
- A wipe usually arrives together with a major patch.
- The average cycle is ~6 months, though delays are common.
- The exact date is often announced only a few days before the wipe.
- The start of technical tests (PTR/beta) is a strong sign of an upcoming wipe.
- Official sources: BSG announcements, dev streams and patch notes.
