Team Fortress 2 'top secret' project in the works for 2012 Valve is continuing to update Team Fortress 2, promising "something brand new for 2012" that "isn't a hat" and "isn't a map."

In spite of having released in 2007, Valve is continuing to update Team Fortress 2, its cartoony team-based multiplayer shooter. Last year, the developer announced a surprising change to a F2P model--but what's next?

The developer isn't saying much, simply promising "something brand new for 2012" that "isn't a hat" and "isn't a map."

The Team Fortress 2 blog jokes that "the TF2 team is working on some ungodly hat-map hybrid that you can wear on your head while you run around in it." So, an Inception-themed expansion pack, right? We kid, of course.

Whatever this game-changing update will be, Valve promises it will be "really cool." To check out all the updates Team Fortress 2 has received since launch, click here.
