When is Cache coming to Counter-Strike 2? First looks, remake details, more
Twitter: FMPONEA teaser of Cache was just spotlighted by its creators as the Counter-Strike 2 rerelease draws near, so here is all you need to know about the map.
Back in July 2023, as Counter-Strike 2 went through its closed beta, FMPONE, the legendary creator of Cache, revealed that he was working on a remake of the beloved map for CS2.
Now months after his initial announcement of Cache’s remake, FMPONE has finally given players a first look at the revamped map in CS2, in all of Source 2’s glorious graphical fidelity.
So here is what we know so far about Cache’s Counter-Strike 2 remake.
Counter-Strike 2 Cache first look
On February 17, 2024, FMPONE provided Cache’s remake for CS2, and it stunned the community.
In the teaser pictures, we see Cache’s mid area, however, it’s completely revamped from its old grey and overgrown look in a massive visual overhaul.
Over the months after his first teaser, FMPONE has slowly shown the community more of the map he’s working on.
The map maker has shown off more angles of mid, what the A site will look like, and detailed pictures of the lighting changes that take advantage of the Source 2 engine.
The changed lighting sees Cache bathed in a warm golden hour sunset instead of its previous grey overcast atmosphere in CS:GO.
Counter-Strike 2 Cache remake changes
FMPONE has yet to reveal what exact changes are being made to the map with its remake, but based on these images, it’s easy to tell mid will be getting various adjustments.
The most noticeable change so far is to the CT-side mid-window. Instead of the window, it’s now replaced by a small opening at the top of the wall, perfect for nade lineups, but not so good to take gun fights with.
Additionally, A site’s truck has been slightly slanted with several boxes moved around, creating more hiding spots around the plant area.
Other than that, we don’t know much about the other changes FMPONE is making to Cache, so we’ll have to wait for more images.
Do we know when Cache is coming to Counter-Strike 2?
It’s currently unknown when Cache is returning to Counter-Strike 2, as FMPONE is yet to announce a release date for the remake.
FMPONE has been simultaneously working on revamping his other map, Santorini: Thera, while remaking Cache for CS2.
As it stands, Santorini is complete and playable, so there’s a good chance Cache will be next.
