I know it’s still available and being playedBut Team Fortress 2 can sometimes feel like a game from another era. Partly because it Is, but also because it’s so old – and has gone so long without a major update – that you might think it’s on its last legs. But no!
The game’s website – which charmingly doesn’t appear to have been updated since the game launched –buzzed into life today and published a news blog
Steam Workshop Creators, can we please have your attention? The following message is So urgent, So Being time sensitive, we made the decision to skip TikTok and Twitter entirely and break the glass of the most cutting-edge communication technology available.
Welcome in the future. Welcome… to a “blog post”.
“Wow!” you probably think. “I forgot how hard reading is!” Yes, it’s scary how quickly you lose that. Don’t worry, we’ll keep it short:
Team Fortress’ recent summer events were just item updates. But The th year we plan to release a full-fledged update-size update – with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, warpaints and who knows what else?! Which means we need Steam Workshop content! YOUR Steam Workshop content!
So get to work! (Or back to work if you’ve already been working but got distracted when the entire internet simultaneously learned about this cutting-edge blog post.) Make sure to get your posts into the Steam Workshop by May 1st may be considered (unless you wanted to develop summer-themed stuff) for this as yet untitled, themed but still very exciting summer (but not summer-themed) update.
This is the first piece of good news the game’s community has had in a while, in the last few years the only things outsiders have heard of Team Fortress 2 were the enormous problems that the game had with botsand the subsequent user base protests against it.
