A new CSGO, of some description, is almost certainly on the way. Especially over the past few days, Valve has made a lot of updates to the Steam backend of its flagship FPS game. Potentially, this could signal a revamped and revamped version of the multiplayer shooter in the form of CSGO Source 2. Alternatively, the long-speculated release date of Counter-Strike 2 could be upon us, with the latest update, which adds an executable. marked as ‘CS2’ this possibility may seem more likely. But we have to play the easy card. Here is the latest news on the new CSGO.

On March 14, we reported a series of updates added to CSGO pre-launch hidden folders. Valve has apparently uploaded a slew of additional files and material, all marked for an upcoming beta. If Counter-Strike 2 or CSGO Source 2 are on the way, it would make sense for Valve to test them through a public beta first, so naturally a batch of updates added to the CSGO beta folders makes it seem like something is afoot. . his way. Better get to work on those CSGO ranks just to be safe.

However, new evidence, also acquired from the Steam CSGO archives, suggests something even stronger. In the late hours of March 14, Valve again accessed the pre-release branch of CSGO and added a new application description: “Limited Test Build”. Much more interesting, there is now a new executable, the type of file used to launch games, buried on the CSGO Steam page: “CS2.exe”. You can see it for yourself, courtesy of SteamDB, in the image below:

So, with a little inference (or perhaps wishful thinking), we can safely say that a limited testing, or beta, is on the way for something called “CS2”. At first glance it might look like a complete Counter-Strike sequel, “CS2” naturally stands for “Counter-Strike 2”.

However, CSGO will most likely be ported to the Source 2 engine and potentially renamed Counter-Strike 2 in the future, hence the name of the executable. We’ll be keeping an eye on you and bringing you the latest CSGO developments as they arrive.
