Maps, taunts and more in store for this summerSun, vacations, songs; there are plenty of reasons to look forward to the summer. Team Fortress 2 fans just got another reason though, as Valve has confirmed it's working on an update for Team Fortress 2 set to arrive this summer.
In a blog post (https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=189493) across its channels, the TF2 team at Valve has put out a call for Steam Workshop submissions. Now, Team Fortress 2 has had many summer updates, and the last few have been largely focused on items. But according to Valve, this one's a bit different.

"The last few Team Fortress summer events have only been item updates. But this year, we're planning on shipping a full-on update-sized update ? with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints and who knows what else?! Which means we need Steam Workshop content! YOUR Steam Workshop content!"
So yes, a full-on update is on the way for Team Fortress 2. Submissions for the Steam Workshop portion are open up to May 1, for this summer-situated (but not necessarily summer-themed) update.
Back to the fortTeam Fortress 2 is arguably a herald of a genre that would become the team-based hero shooter, adding individual skills and characters to a team-focused FPS contest. The result was a classic (https://www.destructoid.com/team-fortress-2-a-modern-classic/) that garnered many, many fans over the years.
Still, the game languished over time, and last year fans rallied for a #SaveTF2 campaign, calling for Valve to address the botting issues that had run rampant through Team Fortress 2. Valve did respond (https://www.destructoid.com/valve-responds-team-fortress-2-bot-problem/), and started to take steps (https://www.destructoid.com/team-fortress-2-update-bot-problem-team-vote-kick-start/) towards fixing the issues.
Now, Team Fortress 2 fans may actually have a new update to look forward to. I'm interested to see how large of an update this will be, but it's at least a pulse of life that might draw some lapsed fans back into the realm of Team Fortress 2.
