Valve has added a new Love and War update to their free-to-play, class-based shooter Team Fortress 2. So that’s what the website timer was counting down to.
Rather than new maps or gear, the update adds new in-game ‘expression’ animations: the conga, the square dance, the skull cracker, the flip and rock, paper scissors. There’s also a fifteen minute Source Engine film showing the TF2 crew taking on a tentacled monstrosity. Is that a hint at more upcoming content?
Along with the new animations, there are seven new achievements to earn. Given the monster-fighting going on in that video, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if Valve announce a co-op gameplay mode in the vein of Left 4 Dead or Call of Duty: Extinction at some point in the near future.
