Warframe Amir's Shockwave is estimated to end around January 1, 2027, based on its 142-day season cadence (verified August 13, 2026). Amir's Shockwave is the Nightwave that hands Nora Night's pirate radio to someone else for the first time in seven years: Amir Beckett of The Hex hosts a fourth-wall-breaking mini-series tied to the tabletop game from Warframe: 1999. Launched with Update 43.5 on August 12, 2026, it adds a permanent Fables and Frontiers room in Höllvania, a permanent side-quest and a reward track led by the Globakk Syandana, the Kaneshell Atomicycle Regalia and the Teisatz Oculus. As an interim Nightwave it has no fixed calendar: Digital Extremes closes it with the content update that brings Nightwave Series 4, so the countdown above is projected from recent Nightwave lengths until that update is dated. Unclaimed rank rewards and leftover Nightwave Cred do not carry over.
When Does Warframe Amir's Shockwave End?
Warframe Nora's Mix: Amir's Shockwave launched on August 12, 2026 with Update 43.5, across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS, and Android. As an interim Nightwave it has no officially confirmed end date — Digital Extremes rotates Nightwave with a content update rather than on a fixed calendar, so this page shows a cadence-based estimate and locks to the exact date the moment Series 4's launch is announced.
Amir's Shockwave bridges the gap to the story-driven Nightwave Series 4, the first full serialized season since Series 3: Glassmaker. Use the live countdown above to track how much time remains before its reward track closes and any unclaimed Nightwave rewards are permanently lost.
How Long Do Warframe Nightwaves Last?
Recent Nightwaves have run between 104 and 163 days: Vol. 8 was the shortest at 104 days and Dreams of the Dead the longest at 163 days. The preceding interim, Time Tempests, ran about 126 days (April 8 – August 12, 2026). Digital Extremes sets Nightwave length by content readiness, not a fixed cadence, so an interim like Amir's Shockwave can be shorter than a full Series.
Amir's Shockwave — Season Overview
Amir's Shockwave is a Nora's Mix interim Nightwave with a twist: for the first time in seven years, Nora Night is not running the pirate radio. Amir Beckett of The Hex takes over for a fourth-wall-breaking mini-series that ties into the in-universe tabletop game from Warframe: 1999.
The update adds a permanent Fables and Frontiers room in Höllvania and a permanent side-quest, alongside a batch of balance changes. Its reward track leans into the 1999 aesthetic with the Globakk Syandana, Kaneshell Atomicycle Regalia, and Teisatz Oculus among the earnable cosmetics.
What Comes After Amir's Shockwave?
Digital Extremes has teased Nightwave Series 4 as the next full story-driven season — the first since Series 3: Glassmaker. No start date or name has been confirmed, so Amir's Shockwave runs as the bridge until that announcement lands.
Warframe Nightwave — Free Battle Pass Guide
Nightwave is completely free — there is no paid pass to purchase. Players earn Nightwave Cred by completing daily and weekly challenges, which can be exchanged at Nora Night's rotating shop for weapons, mods, cosmetics, and resources.
As with every Nightwave, once Amir's Shockwave ends all unclaimed rank rewards are permanently lost, and 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 high-value items including Aura Mods (usually the best value pick), Potent Forma, rare Warframe components, and season cosmetics. The shop refreshes weekly, so check back each reset for new offerings before Amir's Shockwave ends.
