Retakes may soon return to CS2, according to dataminers

Counter-Strike 2 recently had its first significant update since the Copenhagen Major, adding cl_righthand 0 and bringing Dust 2 back to the map pool. However, it seems Valve is also quietly preparing for the return of Retakes: Dataminers have shown numerous files regarding the missing mode, indicating it’s nearly ready for launch.

Well-known CS2 leaker ThourCS2 shared his findings on Saturday, April 27, claiming that there have been lots of Retake-related files added to the game with its last update. Retake versions of all the maps can be clearly found, as well as numerous lines of code. “The game mode’s config, map spawn files, and required UI stuff are already in the game,” ThourCS2 wrote. He theorized that Valve may be working on recreating the game mode’s code in TypeScript “as they recently did with Wingman, Armsrace, and Deathmatch.”
