Valve Corporation, the renowned developer behind the enormous Counter-Strike franchise, has recently filed four trademarks related to CS2 and Counter-Strike, leaving the gaming community even more excited about the recent CS and Source 2 leaks. Does this mean we’re about to get direct news from the developer soon?
The trademarks somewhat confirm that Valve is indeed working on the next iteration of Counter-Strike. As we have talked multiple times about it in the past week, Counter-Strike is expecting a huge update soon. Both CS2 and Counter Strike trademarks cover a range of categories, including entertainment services, computer game software, and electronic game software.
Below you can find the trademarks:
- The first CS2 trademark.
- The second CS2 trademark.
- The first Counter Strike trademark.
- The second Counter Strike tradermark.
These trademarks indicate that Valve might be preparing to launch a new iteration or expansion of the Counter-Strike series, potentially under CS2. While details are scarce, it’s clear that something exciting is in the works.
As the trademarks are currently awaiting examination, fans expect the possible release of the updated version and maybe even a rebrand of Counter-Strike. Will it be an entirely new game, an updated version of Counter-Strike, or an expansion pack? Only time will tell.
In other news (or speculations), we have also talked about how the CS GO Twitter banner might be related to a countdown for the release of the Source 2 Counter-Strike version.
