As a gamer who has been following the Team Fortress 2 saga since its inception, I must say that the release of The Days Have Worn Away comic was like finding a long-lost friend after years apart. It’s been seven years since we last saw our beloved mercenaries, and it felt as if they had slipped away into the annals of gaming history. But alas! Valve and their team of talented artists have breathed new life into this classic game with a finale that was as unpredictable as a heavy’s rocket jump.
After a span of seven years, we received the climactic conclusion to the Team Fortress 2 storyline. This wasn’t through a game upgrade, but rather in the seventh and concluding edition of the Mann Co. comic titled: “The Days Have Worn Away”.
Heavy and company
Previously, Heavy, Miss Pauling, Merasmus, and their unquestionably eccentric Team Fortress 2 comrades were last seen with signs pointing towards the conclusion of their tale. Regrettably, for nearly seven years since then, it seemed as though the comic was left untouched, much like the game itself, leading to a decline in hope among fans that we would ever witness the culmination of these mercenaries’ narrative.
The July update and unexpected sneak peek fueled optimism among players: the seventh comic is indeed being developed. Yet, uncertainty persisted about when (or even if) it would be released. In the interim, the writers offered fans an early Christmas present. Surprisingly, it was a delightful surprise for Team Fortress 2 enthusiasts, as The Days Have Worn turned out to be a wonderful read.
Instead of delving deeply into the conclusion of the Scout and Gray Mann’s daughter’s storyline, the Soldier’s and Korean mafia’s deals with Merasmus, the whereabouts of Saxton Hale and the administrator, and the current owner of the Eyelander, let me simply express that the comic’s climax was as wildly unpredictable and comical as its earlier parts, offering fans ample opportunities for both joyful smiles and emotional tears.
What’s next for Team Fortress 2?
Absolutely, the nine artists behind the Team Fortress 2 finale were highly appreciated by fans for their work, including revealing details omitted in the comic and disclosing the true name of the Medic. Additionally, appreciation was extended to Valve company as well as a tribute to Rick May, the voice actor of the Soldier who sadly passed away during the coronavirus pandemic.
The premiere of “The Days Have Worn” ignited a swell of conjecture regarding the game’s upcoming direction. While it may be an exaggeration to call Team Fortress 2 (TF 2) an actively developed title, this year has certainly been significant for TF 2, arguably as impactful since the launch of the Jungle Inferno update. This year’s developments – including battling AI opponents, regular updates with improvements, and wrapping up the comic series – offer more than fans have experienced in the past six years combined.
It’s understandable that some online users are optimistic, believing that Valve might be working on something connected to their brand – perhaps a return of the iconic Heavy update or even a fresh installment featuring a new crop of mercenaries.
The Days Have Worn Away
Nevertheless, followers pointed out the blog post and comic uploaded on the Team Fortress 2 official site. While the message hinted at a brief delay in the past, it doesn’t indicate any news about the series’ future. Some readers might perceive the final paragraph as a “hint” or “teaser,” but this interpretation appears to be an exaggerated response to the developers’ jest.
The comic book appears to convey a sense of goodbye rather than a resumption of active game development within the Team Fortress 2 universe, from its title, the Christmas Eve scene, and even Saxton Hale’s words on the final page.
Of course, there is a chance that Valve will return to TF 2 after years of neglect. However, it’s better not to get too carried away with enthusiasm and expect major innovations.
Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that Team Fortress 2 also received a minor update. Featuring a rather amusing list of changes, which includes fixes like “the cart no longer attempts to defy the laws of physics”, bots that have finally learned to “play on maps,” and increased freedom for “ninja engineers.”
