Valve is working on Source 2 for CSGO: Report

CSGO fans are very excited about the Source 2 engine. The new Source 2 engine is expected to come with a lot of graphical changes along with more accurate sound effects.

However, Valve cut out the Source 2 project during an internal meeting last year because porting CSGO and its community contents to a new engine was too tough for Valve.

Valve working on Source 2 for CSGO?

According to Gabe Follower, the latest DOTA 2 update contains strings that refer to CSGO’s new Source 2 engine. In the new update, there are lines codes including “version 2”, “component source2” and “version 3”, “component unassigned”.

Do these codes hint towards the new Source 2 engine for CSGO? It’s still unknown. However, the community wants Source 2 badly and if Valve launches the new engine in the future, the CSGO community will welcome it contentedly.

version changed from 2 to 3 and component changed from "source2" to "unassigned"

that's might mean few things:
1. cancellation of source 2 port
2. moving to different branch of s2
3. trying to work with merged tools from different engines, something like source 1.5 https://t.co/15AewNzAi5
