A new Counter-Strike game is coming very soon, the beta version may even arrive before the end of the month.
More than a decade after the release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Valve is reportedly preparing to announce a new version of its popular tactical shooter. Moreover, the beta version may appear even before the end of this month. According to esports journalist Richard Lewis, Valve has been working on a sequel to CS:GO for some time now and it’s “nearly ready to go “.

He also explains that the studio recently organized a gaming session in the strictest secrecy, bringing a small group of professional gamers to Seattle. According to Richard Lewis, Valve would like to start a big test wave with their Counter-Strike community no later than April 1st. “The big priority is to release this version, then finalize everything, fix any remaining bugs and offer a game at the level that people expect from CS,” one of the journalist’s sources said.
The beta version may appear even before the end of the month.
In terms of improvements, this new Counter-Strike will offer greater graphical fidelity, thanks in part to the move to the Source 2 home render engine. a feature that would allow CS to match Valorant on the topic and reduce latency. Valve would also greatly improve the matchmaking experience, which should make the community less inclined to use third-party services like FACEIT.
Rumors of a new Counter-Strike game have been around for years, but until now, ultimately, there was little reason to believe it. Today it is difficult to say that the game will not be released soon. Richard Lewis is often very knowledgeable. In 2015, he wrote a report confirming rumors that one of the best professional CS:GO teams had intentionally lost a game. There are other hints of the game’s existence: earlier this month, fans of the game found references to the “csgo2.exe”and cs2.exe applications in NVIDIA GPU drivers.
