Team Fortress 2 Classic – a mod that sets out to offer a new TF2 experience but with the "original inspirations and tone" of Valve's FPS original – has been pushed back to January 2026, as the devs also confirm it'll be releasing under a new name when it arrives.
In a new post on Steam, gameplay lead Nito and the mod team at Eminoma officially introduce Team Fortress 2 Classified – removing one letter and adding four more in a move that should satisfy an apparent request from Valve. "As most of you pieced together quickly, Valve requested a few months ago that we rename our mod, because the name Team Fortress 2 Classic was too similar to their Team Fortress Classic," the statement reads.
