Summary
Counter-Strike has retained its popularity since its release in 2003, and now a group of modders are remaking the game from the ground up, while keeping the elements that made the game a classic.
Built using Valve’s 2013 Source Engine SDK, custom code, and original assets, the game is slated for release on Steam in early access this year.
Codenamed CS: Legacy, the announcement trailer has already created a buzz among Counter-Strike fans, and the remake is likely to be well-received given the success of similar fan projects such as Black Mesa.
Valve’s relaxed approach to remakes and the ongoing popularity of the original game suggest that CS: Legacy has the company’s blessing, and may attract both old and new players when it is released.
With over 16,000 people currently playing the original game, the fan base is evidently strong for this genre, and CS: Legacy will be hoping to attract many of these players to the new version.
