Fans of Team Fortress 2 have reason to be happy. The game has just received the Scream Fortress XV update, introducing a title event that will last until November 7, 2023. There are many new features and attractions waiting for the players to get into the Halloween mood.
- Players can now play on 12 newly added maps created by the community, including Perks, Slime, Lava Pit, Mannsylvania, Sandcastle, Spineyard, Corruption, Murky, Atoll, Woods, Sanitarium and Devastation.
- Bone-Chilling Bonanza Cases have also been introduced, bringing 25 new community-created cosmetic items to the game.
- 4 new community-created taunts have been added and are available at the Mann Co. store.
- 20 new community-created unusual effects have also been introduced - 13 of them are for unusual hats, and the remaining 7 are effects for unusual taunts.
- All players who launch the game during the event will receive a Gargoyle, if they don't already have one. It allows for access to Merasmissions (contracts awarded during the event) and transmutation of Halloween items.
- All Halloween contracts have been reset, so missions can be performed again. In addition, new contracts have been introduced for this year's community maps.
- In addition to the Halloween innovations, the update also brings a number of general changes aimed at improving the game's quality. These changes include improvements to loading times, fixing the ghost_pumpkin effect for the Toothless Headless Horseman, and various bug fixes.
The update has been received very warmly - yesterday on Steam, the activity record was 200,363 concurrent users. This is almost three times as many as on the same day last week.
