Rumors about the release of a new version of Counter-Strike on the Source 2 engine have been circulating for several years now, and finally more

specific information.

What is known

We recently reported that a certain Counter-Strike 2 game was found in the new Nvidia drivers.

Now, esports journalist and analyst Richard Lewis has confirmed that Valve is working on a new iteration of the iconic online shooter.

The working name of the project is “Counter-Strike 2”, and it is likely that the same name will remain in the official version of the game.

Richard Lewis has information that the developers have been working on this project for a long time, and Counter-Strike 2 beta testing may begin as early as the end of March.

One nuance related toin-game elements. It's no secret that the cost of skins, stickers and other cosmetic items in the current version of Counter-Strike reaches hundreds or even thousands of dollars, so developers should consider porting them to the new version. But Richard Lewis is not yet ready to say that Valve will introduce such an option.

Considering how long rumors about Counter-Strike on the Source 2 engine have been circulating in the information field, it is likely that Richard Lewis's information is true.

We are waiting for confirmation from Valve.
