[Software] Counter Strike 2 is about to come out: do you know when?

[FNX Magokiler]

With great stealth and without us hardly realizing it, Valve has been burning stages until reaching the exciting moment in which we can now enjoy Counter Strike 2, which will be nothing more than a huge restyling of old maps from the original title, a better I work on precision and gameplay and, above all, prepare the franchise to last undeterred for the next decade.

And Gabe Newell's people were aware that they could not touch too many important things about the original CS:GO because not only the games that users have played daily for countless years depend on them, but above all the professional players of the competitive scene. They are the ones who will finally say if this second installment has their blessing in order not to damage too much the good health of the eSports scene in which they live.

Is there a release date yet?
The fact is that Valve's plans to officially put Counter Strike 2 on the market have been known for months, with autumn as a reference at that moment. Now, nothing at all about a specific date, more of a hint, so what was published practically this morning on the official North American account seems to be the closest we will get to knowing which day will be chosen.

And that date that we are all going to wait impatiently is September 27, Wednesday, as you can read in the message on Twitter (or X?) that Gabe Newell's people posted:

 

 

"What are you doing next Wednesday?" . So you can imagine the madness that has been unleashed and that at the time of writing this news allowed the message to reach almost five million views on the social network.

With this announcement, it seems that the suspense around a launch (on Steam, obviously) is finally over, which, in truth and despite the tests offered by the company to test the new features, many came to fear that it would be delayed beyond what was planned. Luckily, it looks like it won't happen.

The fumes and more changes
Counter Strike is, by far, the game that has one of the most established and po[CENSORED]r scenes in the world. Surely League of Legends is also up to par, but in the case of Valve's shooter, the level and po[CENSORED]rity of all the competitions it stars in on both sides of the Atlantic stands out, with super professional teams that compete for the throne of very relevant tournaments.

That is why the changes, although they are very noticeable with respect to CS:GO, are not radical, nor do they modify as much as possible how the strategies are applied in each game. The fumes, a basic element in the teams' deployment and strategies, will be volumetric, which will force the pro-players to have a short adaptation time, since they will surely allow them to see a little more than until now.

And by the way, the maps are nice to see. Classics like Dust II, Overpass and Nuke are perceived as sharper, more beautiful and more detailed, but maintaining the same corners and routes so as not to have to go through a new learning process. A smart move by Valve that will extend the success of its franchise for many, many years.
