Team Fortress 2 Smissmas 2025 is here, and there are now more festivized weapons than you can shake a Sun-on-a-Stick at

The Smissmas event in Team Fortress 2 is taking place, featuring six new community maps: Nutcracker, Sidewinder, Abbey, Winter Ridge, Matterhorn, and Gavle. Players can access new taunts, including The Critical Fail, Dead Mann's Drink, and Chairholder, as well as 20 community-created unusual effects. The event runs until January 7, 2026, and includes expanded festivization options for weapons, with players needing to obtain Festivizers from Winter 2025 Cosmetic cases or the marketplace. Bug fixes have been implemented, including a fix for Detonator jumps. Additionally, a community mod called Team Fortress 2 Classified is set to launch at the end of January 2026, introducing a new VIP mode class and adjustments to existing weapons.

Valve sleuth says new datamine is “effectively direct confirmation” of Team Fortress 2 being ported to Source 2

Valve is working on a project referred to as 'TF,' which is likely related to Team Fortress 2. Tyler McVicker has indicated that new code confirms Team Fortress 2 is being transitioned to Source 2. A recent datamine revealed a mechanic specific to Team Fortress 2, suggesting that maps from the game are being ported to the new engine. However, the exact intentions behind this project, whether it is a remaster or a sequel, remain unclear. The project is still in early stages, and its future development is uncertain.
