Counter-Strike 1.6 Remake 'CS: Legacy' Targets 2025 Release

Developed independently with custom assets, the project aims to capture the essence of the original while navigating potential legal challenges from Valve.

CS: Legacy is a standalone remake of Counter-Strike 1.6, built entirely from custom code and assets using Valve's Source Engine 2013 SDK.
The game is being developed by former CSPromod team members, who have implemented significant technical upgrades like a custom renderer, rewritten shaders, and a new UI.
The early access version will feature five classic maps, including Dust2, Nuke, and Train, with plans for a broader release on Steam in 2025.
The developers are funding the project through a Patreon campaign offering various rewards, including exclusive access and in-game Easter eggs for higher-tier supporters.
Valve's history of shutting down fan projects raises uncertainty about the game's future, but the team hopes its use of entirely custom assets will help avoid legal issues.
