While it seems fair to give a lot of wiggle room for porting a game to an entirely new engine, the fact that we’ve been hearing about it happening for 3 years now, only to be told it’s still over a year off, doesn’t instill much confidence in seeing this be the time frame they actually stick to.

At the current time McVickers says “the core porting job” from Source to Source 2 is “pretty much done, but it’s the roll-out that matters.” Later on he suggests that betas and public tests would need to be held for possibly over a year in order to make sure everything functions correctly. The official maps, weapons, and skins would likely be a simple task to port to a new engine, however it is all the community made content that complicated the task. Previously VNN had reported the opposite, claiming that work on the engine had been stopped due to the overwhelming amount of community content that would need to be ported over.

Since then, more and more evidence mounted that the entire Source 2 engine had been cancelled until Tyler McVickers from Valve News Network stated that it is “very possible” the engine launches by the end of 2021. While it was originally announced at the Hello CS presentation hosted in China that CS:GO would be ported to a new Source 2 engine in 2017, that never became a reality. The game went free to play in 2018, further expanding its impressive player base and extending the game’s already extensive lifespan. Since then, the game has had years of support from Valve in the way of balance updates, bug fixes, and major content drops in the form of operations.
