The Future of Counter-Strike: Exciting Updates and Competition Ahead.

Valve has been secretly working on a new Counter-Strike game, Counter-Strike 2, which is expected to launch this summer with enough new features to justify the new numeral. The game ditches the old Source engine for Source 2 and the modern Vulkan graphics API, and the three big ticket items are dynamic, volumetric smoke grenades, a new lighting model, and a 'tickless' networking model. Despite some technical failings typical of pre-release software, the new features upgrade the game in meaningful ways, and it feels like the combined output of at least three years of ideas and experimentation.

Valve hints at Counter-Strike 2 with new trademarks and social media clues.

Valve has registered new trademarks for "CS2" and "Counter-Strike", sparking speculation about the upcoming release of a Source 2 beta for CS:GO.

The image could be a countdown to the update launching, and if it was a five-hour countdown that would put the launch at 6pm ET, which is generally around the time that Valve tends to launch major updates to both CS:GO and Dota 2.
