Team Fortress 2 Classified, previously known as Team Fortress 2 Classic, has been renamed and delayed to 2026. The mod, featuring added content and new gameplay modes, was set to release in 2025 but is now scheduled for January 30, 2026.
New Name and Policy Impact
The mod's name change comes after Valve implemented a new policy in September 2023, prohibiting mod names that could be perceived as official products. The developers, aiming to retain the TF2C abbreviation, struggled to find a suitable new moniker but have settled on Team Fortress 2 Classified.
Features and Changes
The mod expands upon the original TF2 by including new features such as escort and four-team modes. Players will experience additions like the civilian class, jump pads, and new weapons including the nail gun and tranquilizer gun.
Release Delay Explanation
The developers announced the delay from 2025 to 2026 citing the need for additional polishing and comprehensive testing. They noted the importance of a thorough Steamworks review process, acknowledging that communication may take time.
