[EN News] Source 2 - Is it even possible?

Source 2 is coming to CS:GO. Or is it? At this point, the project has been greenlit, then reportedly canceled, then put back on so many times it’s hard to keep track.

CS:GO’s port to the newer Source 2 engine seemed dead in the water in July, even after speculation earlier in 2020 that it was just around the corner. Now it’s been given a new timeframe of the end of 2021.

However, for the first time in almost six months, there’s physical evidence that Valve are still kicking along with the project. New code found in one of Valve’s other titles has given players hope for Source 2 ⁠— and potentially a major update in the coming weeks.

The CS:GO Source 2 code string was found in the latest Artifact update. Valve data miner ‘GabeFollower’ shared the details on October 22. It was just a one-liner to do with shadows, but to CS:GO players, it’s something.

What do you think of Source 2?
Will it change the hvh industry and will the VAC improve?

I doubt CSGO will ever get ported to source 2 imo,

They said themselves that source 2 features are regularly ported over to csgo and they will probably never do a full port.

Well we thought that major cs updates are dead (except operations and new cases) until we got panorama ui in 2018. So maybe while nothing is going on Valve is getting ready for something good)
