Nexon launches Counter-Strike Online Season 27 Midnight City update
Nexon's October 15, 2026 patch adds the Rose Hearts Street battlefield, a Midnight Miho season class and 18 new Zombie Hero skills.
Nexon released the Season 27 "Midnight City" update for Counter-Strike Online on October 15, 2026, according to game.donga.com. The patch adds a new season pass, a new battlefield and expanded zombie content.
The Season 27 season pass rewards a new season class called "Midnight Miho" at level 100. The update also adds "Pink Rush" paint designs usable on weapons such as Dual Berettas, AN94 and PKM.
A new battlefield called "Rose Hearts Street" was added, decorated with ribbons and hearts, and playable in Original, Deathmatch and Zombie Hero modes. Until November 12, an event gives season badges for accumulating 15 and 30 minutes of play on Rose Hearts Street.
Zombie Hero mode adds 18 new skills, two each for nine zombies: Voodoo Zombie, Banshee, Stamper, Achsha, Rusty Wing, Venomguard, Sting Finger, Ganymede and Jiangshi. The update introduces a zombie-exclusive supply box that restores health and armor and resets skill cooldowns when acquired, and reworks the rage gauge system so players can evolve into a "Raged Strong Host Zombie" at a chosen moment.
New items in the Midnight City theme include the "Midnight Ribbon Headband" costume, the "Night Street Sentinel" pet, the "Devoted Fan Heavy Zombie" zombie skin, season sprays, medals and damage fonts. Until February 18 next year, players receive kits to try various zombie skills in Zombie Hero mode, with weekly round completion events to choose a desired zombie skill.
A video contest titled "Find the Best Combination!" runs until October 28 to mark the release of the new modified weapon "Viper Fang". Three winners receive up to 300,000 Nexon Cash, and 30 participants are drawn for 30,000 Nexon Cash each.
