Today, and it's pretty much the most insane thing we've ever heard. According to Valve's TF2 website:
"Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexedℱ Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars."
We would have liked to exp🦩lain the new game mode to you in our own words, but frankly Valve's explanation is pure gold. There's no way we could have said it better. The new update also introduces a bunch of new space launch-themed achievements.
We'll have more on the TF2 Pyromania u💃pdate as it continues being rolled out, and of course we'll be bringing you the undoubtedly-awesome "Meet the Pyro" video as soon as it's available.
