Partly as a result of it’s, but in addition 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 recreation’s launch—hummed into life as we speak, 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, conflict paints and who is aware of what else?!”, however that the replace may also embrace some contributions from the sport’s neighborhood as effectively.
Steam Workshop Creators, can now we have your consideration please. The next message is so pressing, so time-sensitive, we made the manager resolution to skip TikTok and Twitter solely and break the glass on essentially the most bleeding-edge communication know-how out there.
Welcome to the longer term. Welcome… to a “blog-post”.

The previous couple of Staff Fortress summer season occasions have solely been merchandise updates. However this 12 months, we’re planning on delivery a full-on update-sized replace — with gadgets, maps, taunts, uncommon results, conflict paints and who is aware of what else?! Which implies we’d like Steam Workshop content material! YOUR Steam Workshop content material!
So get to work! (Or again to work, in case you had been already working however obtained distracted when your entire web concurrently came upon about this state-of-the-art blog-post.) Be sure to get your submissions into the Steam Workshop by Might 1st, to allow them to be thought of for this as-yet-unnamed, un-themed, however nonetheless very thrilling summer-situated (however not summer-themed) (until you wished to develop summer-themed stuff) replace.
That is the primary excellent news the sport’s neighborhood 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 large points the sport has had with bots, and the userbase’s subsequent protests about it.
