Nothing is official yet. However, on Twitter, Gabefollower shared his findings. When exploring the latest driver for Nvidia graphics cards, the specialist in video games from the publisher Valve, indicated that he had found a mysterious compatibility with the applications “csgos2.exe” and “cs2.exe”.
For Gabe Follower, there is no doubt: these acronyms are those of counter strike global offensivethe flagship shooter for PC gamers, says EuroGamer.
The rumor of a new episode of the title, in which two teams face each other (terrorists against police teams) and is one of the first esports games, would end a wait of more than ten years. The last installment of the saga was published in 2012.
On trial since December
At the same time, the independent journalist confirmed the launch of a new installment of the franchise. According to him, “a new version of counter strike global offensive (CS:GO) is about to be released.” He also specifies that he is “almost certain that it will be released under the provisional title counter attack 2”.
But other sources say it’s just a misunderstanding. So, another user ensures that the presence of the “cs2.exe” application within the Nvidia driver compatibilities is “old and irrelevant”.
However, it does specify that it should not be a new game, but rather a transposition of the title released in 2012 into a new version of Valve’s most advanced game engine, Source 2.
The end of the cliffhanger should come quickly as the information from Richard Lewis seems to point towards the end of the month. In a few weeks, it would be possible to play a beta version (advanced test version), no later than April 1, according to the journalist. At this time, game publisher Valve has given no indication of a future release for the game.
