Team Fortress 2s Mann vs. Machine Mode Gets a Major Update: New Missions and Halloween Celebrations Await
Team Fortress 2 fans have been eagerly awaiting a new update, and it looks like their wait is finally over. The game's developers have announced that a new update is coming soon, and players are being asked to participate in bringing it to life. This update will revolve around the game's PvE mode, Mann vs. Machine, which has quickly become one of the game's most popular co-op modes since its addition in 2012.
The new update is split into two parts, with the first part expected to arrive on or around August 27. The second part will follow in the lead-up to Halloween. While the exact contents of the first part of the update aren't known at this time, players can expect at least one new mission with this update. Additionally, the blog post teases that the second part of the update will primarily consist of new maps and missions from community members. Those who are inclined to create content for the game are asked to submit their maps no later than August 27.
Players are not required to base their Mann vs. Machine maps around Halloween themes, despite the timing of the update. However, with the second part of the update launching around Halloween, it's likely that the game mode will be incorporated into Team Fortress 2's Halloween celebrations. As with most seasonal celebrations in the game, players can also expect a variety of new cosmetics to be added to the game.
In addition to new content, the first part of the update is likely to include bug fixes and general adjustments to the game mode. While it's disappointing that Valve isn't releasing any new maps of its own with the first part of the update, players can still look forward to community-created content and new cosmetics in the lead-up to Halloween.
Overall, Team Fortress 2 fans have a lot to look forward to with this new update. While the exact contents of the first part of the update are still unknown, players can expect at least one new mission and a variety of new cosmetics with the second part of the update. With community submissions being encouraged, there's also a chance for even more new content to be added to the game in the future.
