It seems Team Fortress 2’s dev team bit more than they could chew and were forced to walk back their big updarte announcement.
The blog post that we previously reported on has been quietly updated, to change the wording slightly.
The post now reads:
Steam Workshop Creators, can we have your attention please. The following message is so urgent, so time-sensitive, we made the executive decision to skip TikTok and Twitter entirely and break the glass on the most bleeding-edge communication technology available.
Welcome to the future. Welcome… to a “blog-post”.
“Wow!” you’re probably thinking. “I forgot how hard reading is!” Yeah, it’s scary how fast you lose that. Don’t worry, we’ll be brief:
The last few Team Fortress summer events have only been item updates. But this year, we’re planning on shipping a full-on holiday-sized update — with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints, and other community-contributed fixes for the game! Which means we need Steam Workshop content! YOUR Steam Workshop content!
So get to work! (Or back to work, if you were already working but got distracted when the entire internet simultaneously found out about this state-of-the-art blog-post.) Make sure to get your submissions into the Steam Workshop by May 1st, so they can be considered for this as-yet-unnamed, un-themed, but still very exciting summer-situated (but not summer-themed) (unless you wanted to develop summer-themed stuff) update.
The main change to the post is the switch from “a full-on update-sized update — with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints and who knows what else?!” to “a full-on holiday-sized update — with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints, and other community-contributed fixes for the game!”
It seems that the scope of the update was maybe too big, and the developers had to walk their wording back.
It’s very unfortunate to have the huge announcement downgraded overnight, but hopefully the developer team still manages to deliver a fun update.
Team Fortress 2 is available for Microsoft Windows, and can be downloaded for free on Steam.
