Dust Off Your Skills! Counter-Strike 1.6 Remake Coming to Steam!

Modders have announced CS:Legacy, a standalone Unreal Engine 5 remake of the iconic Counter-Strike 1.6, set to release on Steam in 2025.

This isn’t just a graphical overhaul; CS:Legacy is being built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5. This means we can expect a visually stunning recreation of the maps and models we know and love, bringing a modern edge to the tactical shooter that started it all.

What’s even more exciting is that Minh “Gooseman” Le, one of the original creators of Counter-Strike, has given his seal of approval to the project, stating it gives him “old vibes” in a good way. This endorsement adds a significant layer of credibility and excitement for long-time fans.

CS:Legacy is planned for a release on Steam in 2025, and while details are still emerging, the promise of a faithful yet modernized recreation of Counter-Strike 1.6 is sure to have fans counting down the days until they can once again shout “Fire in the hole!” on a beautifully updated Dust 2.
