Despite 10 years of successful existence of CS:GO (and Counter Strike itself has already celebrated its 22nd anniversary), the popularity of this team shooter continues to grow rapidly. As of early 2023, CS:GO had over 30 million active players, with a new peak of over 1,800,000 users. However, the American developer Valve knows that the game is gradually becoming obsolete, so it was decided to create a sequel to CS2, which will use the new Source 2 engine. In March 2023, Valve released a limited beta version of CS2, but contrary to all expectations, it became even more limited than expected. If we compare estimates, then approximately 0.2% of all active players took part in beta testing. At the same time, the opportunity to test CS2 was received mainly by professionals.
CS:GO has been a very popular betting market for bookmakers. Many bookmakers, including Mostbet Bangladesh, actively cover Counter Strike tournaments, offer wide ranges and the opportunity to bet not only on outcomes, but also on the points of individual cybersportsmen, odds, totals and much more. Surely, Counter Strike 2 will cause even more excitement among bookmakers and bet lovers. However, the release date of the updated game is still a mystery. In this article, we will talk about all the assumptions and guesses of insiders regarding the release date of CS2, as well as what awaits us in the updated game.
When will Counter Strike 2 be released?
Insiders claimed that CS2 will be released on June 14th. However, due to the fact that the second update for a limited test build was released only on June 6, adding the Mirage card, experts doubted that the test would last only 7 days. After analyzing the publicly available information on the network, insiders came to the conclusion that the release will take place around August. It is also noted that CS:GO was released on August 21, 2012, which is a kind of Easter egg for Counter Strike 2, which can be released on the same day, but after 11 years.
Summer has already begun, and Valve is still silent about the release of the long-announced Counter-Strike 2. This leads some to assume that the day that millions of fans have been waiting for will not come soon. However, there are people who believe in the honesty of Valve and that the game, as announced, will appear in the summer. Thus, the premiere of Counter-Strike 2 is shrouded in mystery. Valve has not yet announced the exact release date of the new game, which means that players and insiders will continue to put forward more and more new hypotheses. Someone suggests that the release date was hidden in one of the trailers. The fact that it coincides with the CS2 summer release date announced by Valve makes it especially important.
Can the premiere take place in July?
Fans who frequently rewatch trailers continue to find mysteries from Valve. Recently, information appeared on the network indicating a brief moment in a video about two months ago. There you can see the inscription “7-15”. The fan took this as an indication of the date: July 15th. It would seem that this could be a coincidence, but there really is a chance. Thanks to Valve’s announcement, it seems that the premiere of Counter-Strike 2 on this day is quite possible. July is the month that is part of the calendar summer, and it is for this time of the year that the game developers have announced a new title.
Any decision on a release date for CS2 will require the developer to consider the esports calendar. There are several more major CS:GO events ahead, such as BLAST Fall Groups in July. However, data miner and insider Aquarius suggested that Valve might not be too worried about interrupting these events, as additional CS:GO storage could still be available if needed.
What to expect from CS2?
It is reported that skins, as well as other items, will be transferred to Counter Strike 2. Despite the fact that during beta testing, skin lovers noticed certain errors and differences in their appearance, optimism still remains. The American developer has already managed to release a number of updates in terms of visual effects and, perhaps, in the near future, long-awaited new items will appear. So don’t be surprised if your knife or AK47 skin looks weird.
It is also quite possible to expect a quick transition to CS2 by professional players, and the start of official events. It is reported that CS2 tournaments may take place this year. At the moment, it is only known that the next Major will be held in March 2023 in the city of Copenhagen. The tournament is organized by PGL.
