Content creator called Gabe Follower showed gameplay footage of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive made on Source 2 – the successor of the Source engine the game was built on. The games made on Source 2 include Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx.
The team responsible for the port spent six months on it. Counter-Strike: Source 2 is a community-driven, open-source project that uses S&box – a game development toolkit and spiritual successor of Garry’s Mod – as a base.
Gabe Follower says they didn't use the code from CS:GO and created all of the systems and game mechanics from the ground up, so they can add completely new gameplay mechanics and modes without breaking the game. The creators promise to publish the full C# codebase on GitHub eventually.
Gabe Follower says more information will be revealed in the coming weeks, so far, the release date of this version of CS:GO is not set, although it won't happen this month.
