Answers

Last War seasons FAQ

How many seasons does Last War have?

Six as of 16 October 2026: 1 The Crimson Plague, 2 Polar Storm, 3 Golden Kingdom, 4 Evernight Isle, 5 Wild West: The Golden Wasteland of the Land of Liberty, 6 Lost Rainforest. Season 7 is expected but has no official name or date yet.

How long is a Last War season?

The main season lasts 8 weeks. Before it comes a 2-week pre-season, after it a Season Celebration of at least 4 weeks with the 28-day Black Market, then an off-season. A full cycle takes roughly four months.

What season is my server in?

Seasons run per server, not on one global date. Check the season countdown under the Duel VS icon in game: it is the only reliable answer for your server.

When does a new server reach Season 1?

A new server plays a long pre-season (Season 0) first. Community timelines put the start of Season 1, The Crimson Plague, at roughly 120 days of server age.

What happens at the end of a season?

Seasonal buildings and season resources are removed and season profession skills reset with points refunded. Heroes, troops, your base and research stay. The Celebration and the Black Market start right after week 8.

When is Last War Season 7?

Not officially dated. AllClash (Oct 3, 2026) says it is scheduled for November 2026. LDShop (Jul 16, 2026) predicted mid-late October for OG servers after War Zone Duels and a Goldvein War, and its Sep 20, 2026 piece says timing depends on each server's off-season. A July estimate of ~August 2026 (r5tools) did not hold. A Halloween pumpkin base skin is rumoured for the kickoff.
