Counter-Strike enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as Valve’s recent activity on Instagram sparks speculation about the release date of CS2. The gaming company’s ‘csgo_dev’ account posted an image of the IEM Cologne trophy on their story, accompanied by a crown emoji. While some fans believe this could be a farewell gesture to CS:GO, others are skeptical, considering it yet another bait from Valve.
Reddit users have been discussing the significance of this post, with one comment suggesting that the timing of the image is a sign of something big to come. Another user pointed out that Valve’s choice to use Instagram instead of Twitter might indicate an impending release. However, many players remain cautious, aware of Valve’s tendency to tease without delivering.
It’s understandable why some fans view this as another bait. Valve’s social media activity has often raised expectations, only to disappoint. As a result, the hype surrounding CS2 may be diminishing for some players who are growing tired of these tactics. “Constant baits without any concrete information is not building anticipation, but rather dampening it,” one frustrated player expressed.
While these baits serve to engage the community on social media, they do little to provide substantial updates. This is why players have seen numerous teases, particularly on Twitter. However, given the circumstances, the CS community would welcome any significant news about CS2. After all, the game was initially announced for a summer release, and time is running out.
