After initially being promised as a free update this summer, the official launch of Counter-Strike 2–a sequel to the iconic first-person-shooter–has not yet come to pass. If recent social media activity is any indication, that might change as soon as September 27.
Recently, the game’s official X account posted a simple question: “What are you doing next Wednesday?” No other posts were made, and nothing has been announced by Valve since the post went up.
What are you doing next Wednesday?

Counter-Strike 2 was first announced back in March as a free update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, with all earned items in CS:GO carrying over to the new game. A limited test was offered to current CS:GO players, with invitations to the test sent to users based on parameters like playing time and Steam account status.
