If you fondly remember the old days of Counter-Strike before newfangled inventions like the Source engine, we’ve got good news for you. The mod team behind CSPromod has announced CS: Legacy, a standalone remake of Counter-Strike 1.6 built entirely in Valve’s Source SDK.
Based on the video preview provided, this upcoming project showcases timeless maps such as de_nuke with enhanced 4K visuals. It also includes the familiar static toppling-death animation that longtime Counter-Strike 1.6 players may recall. The trailer suggests that this project is set to debut on Steam Early Access in the year 2025.
Posts on the project’s Discord suggest that the initial release will include the classic maps Dust2, Nuke, Train, Poolday, and Aim_map. The small team behind CS: Legacy previously worked together on CSPromod back in the 2000s, which was an attempt to bring CS 1.6-style gameplay to the Source engine. The original Counter-Strike released in 2000, and was replaced with Counter-Strike: Source in 2004, a change that was considered controversial in the community at the time.
In other Counter-Strike news, in a documentary released for the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2’s release, Valve discussed a Counter-Strike-based lawsuit with Vivendi that nearly destroyed the company. Essentially, Valve accused Vivendi of distributing Counter-Strike to South Korean cyber cafes without permission; the suit was later settled.
