Fan-Made Counter-Strike 1.6 Remake Announced for 2025
CS: Legacy, developed by former CSPromod creators, aims to modernize the classic FPS with custom assets and technical upgrades while facing potential legal hurdles from Valve.
- CS: Legacy is a standalone remake of Counter-Strike 1.6, built on Valve's 2013 Source Engine SDK with custom code, assets, and major technical rewrites.
- The project, announced via a YouTube trailer on March 16, 2025, plans for an early access release on Steam later this year.
- Developers have recreated five classic maps for the initial release: Dust2, Nuke, Train, Poolday, and Aim_map.
- The project is funded through a Patreon campaign, offering rewards like early access and exclusive content to supporters.
- Valve's history of halting fan projects raises uncertainty about whether CS: Legacy will be allowed to release on Steam.
