I do know it’s nonetheless accessible and being performed, however Staff Fortress 2 can at occasions really feel like a sport from a distinct age. Partly as a result of it is, but additionally as a result of it’s so previous—and has gone so lengthy with out a main replace—that you just’d be forgiven for pondering it was on its final legs. However no!
The sport’s web site—which charmingly hasn’t appeared to have been up to date because the sport’s launch—hummed into life at this time, posting a information weblog known as “Consideration, Steam Workshop Creators!”. It says that not solely will the sport be getting a “a full-on update-sized replace” later this 12 months, with “with gadgets, maps, taunts, uncommon results, battle paints and who is aware of what else?!”, however that the replace can even embody some contributions from the sport’s group as nicely.
Steam Workshop Creators, can we now have your consideration please. The next message is so pressing, so time-sensitive, we made the chief choice to skip TikTok and Twitter solely and break the glass on probably the most bleeding-edge communication expertise accessible.
Welcome to the longer term. Welcome… to a “blog-post”.

The previous few Staff Fortress summer season occasions have solely been merchandise updates. However this 12 months, we’re planning on transport a full-on update-sized replace — with gadgets, maps, taunts, uncommon results, battle paints and who is aware of what else?!

So get to work! (Or again to work, should you have been already working however received distracted when all the web concurrently discovered about this state-of-the-art blog-post.) Be sure that to get your submissions into the Steam Workshop by Could 1st, to allow them to be thought-about for this as-yet-unnamed, un-themed, however nonetheless very thrilling summer-situated (however not summer-themed) (until you needed to develop summer-themed stuff) replace.
That is the primary excellent news the sport’s group have had for some time, since over the previous couple of years the one issues outsiders have heard about Staff Fortress 2 has been the big points the sport has had with bots, and the userbase’s subsequent protests about it.
