Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will be coming to the Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam early 2012.


Developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment, "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" (CS: GO) will ship early 2012, and will expand on the team-based gameplay that Counter-Strike pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago. The new game will feature new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and Eurogamer Expo.
