More evidence points to the Counter-Strike sequel, powered by Valve’s Source 2 engine, might be arriving sooner than expected.
Counter-Strike has been a staple in gaming since its first release in 1999, and has been in the eSports scene in some capacity almost the entire time. Recently, a rumor started circulating about the possibility of another installment in the wildly popular first-person shooter franchise. The latest iteration in the series, Global Offensive, is still one of the most-played games on Steam, according to the new Steam Stats page. Will there actually be a sequel to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and if so, what will it be like?
According to eSports journalist Richard Lewis and his sources, the sequel is very real and, from those who requested to remain anonymous, it has been in the works for quite some time. A recent Nvidia graphics driver update indicated a new executable “csgo2.exe,” which lead many to speculate it might just be an existing CS: GO update to the Source 2 engine.
