Earlier this year, there was this big announcement, and they promised us that Counter-Strike 2 would drop right in the middle of summer.
Well, you won’t believe it, but it’s here, just a teensy bit late – like, it arrived four days after summer officially said goodbye (September 23rd, to be exact).
But hey, who’s counting, right?
The cool part is that Counter-Strike 2 has now magically appeared on Steam, and it’s ready to rock! If you’re as excited as I am, you’ve got to check out the game’s launch trailer down below.
You know, this game has actually been out in a sort of limited testing mode for a while now.
There were all these rumors floating around that it was going to drop any day, but guess what?
Surprise! It’s suddenly up on Steam.
And the kicker?
It’s taken over the spot of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive!
It’s like an update to that game, but with a whole new twist.
This game is seriously stepping up its game, and it’s all thanks to the Source 2 engine. It’s like giving your old favorite pair of sneakers a futuristic upgrade.
