While what lies ahead for the multiplayer franchise is a mystery, new clues suggest that a new installment is on the way.
Earlier this week, Gabe Follower, a well-known content creator and leaker specializing in Valve’s FPS, discovered that a recent NVIDIA update added new drivers that support 2 unknown applications: csgo2.exe and cs.exe.
Something weird just happened. Latest NVIDIA drivers introduced support for unknown app executables called “csgos2.exe” and “cs2.exe”. Why project is called Counter-Strike 2 and what are you cooking @csgo? https://t.co/U9YKlAjwgy pic.twitter.com/PU8Op9uGLq

Counter-Strike 2 will be announced soon, according to sources
According to alleged sources familiar with the project, Valve is working on a new version of the FPS, tentatively titled as counter strike 2, for quite some time. Richard Lewis noted in his report that a Beta test will take place in late March or early April, which means that the official announcement could be very close if this information is correct.
According to the journalist’s sources, the video game is close to debuting and is the company’s priority. Likewise, it seems that groups of professional players were already able to play in a private test that took place in Seattle.
In case you missed it: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is 11 years old and just broke one of its most impressive records.
Details are scant, of course, but preliminary reports indicate that the said counter strike 2 uses the Source 2 graphics engine, which will allow “improve optimization and graphic fidelity”. Also, there is talk of a renewed matchmaking. “The big priority is to get this out there and then polish it up, fix any bugs and bring it to the level people expect from CS,” the sources said.
Shortly after these reports, content creator Gabe Follower joined the conversation and indicated that he had reliable information suggesting that the new installment in the multiplayer franchise is real and has been in testing since late last year.
Rumor: I’ve got fairly reliable information that Valve has been testing CS:GO on Source 2 with the help of third-party QA companies in the US and EU since at least early December. I can’t confirm this 100%, but it’s decent enough to share.
Please remember that until company will… https://t.co/n7jFQD0fln
