FMPONE gives first look into Cache in CS2

A teaser of Cache was just spotlighted by its creators as the Counter-Strike 2 rerelease draws near, so here is all you need to know about the map. 

Back in July 2023, as Counter-Strike 2 went through its closed beta, FMPONE, the legendary creator of Cache, revealed that he was working on a remake of the beloved map for CS2. 

Now months after his initial announcement of Cache’s remake, FMPONE, has finally given players a first look into the revamped map in CS2, in all of Source 2’s glorious graphical fidelity. 

So here is all you need to know of Cache’s Counter-Strike 2 remake.

Counter-Strike 2 Cache first look

On February 17, FMPONE posted two images as our first look into Cache’s remake for CS2, and it stunned the community. 

In the teaser pictures, we see Cache’s mid area, however, it’s completely revamped from its old grey and overgrown look in a massive visual overhaul.

FMPONE hasn’t yet revealed any other areas of Cache that are being remade, with the view into garage being blank in one of the images. So we’ll have to wait for him to release more looks into Cache. 

Counter-Strike 2 Cache remake changes

FMPONE has yet to reveal what exact changes are being made to the map with its remake, but based on his teaser image, it’s easy to tell mid will be getting some amount of adjustments. 

The most noticeable change thus far is to the CT-side mid-window. Instead of the window, it’s now replaced by a small opening at the top of the wall, perfect for nade lineups, but not so good to take gun fights with. 

Other than that, we don’t know much about the other changes FMPONE is making to Cache, so we’ll have to wait for more teaser images. 

Do we know when Cache is coming to Counter-Strike 2? 

It’s currently unknown when Cache is returning to Counter-Strike 2, as FMPONE has yet to announce a solid release date for the remake. 

However, with CS2 now well into its release, it’s most likely due for a major shake-up to its Active Duty map pool, and we may very well see Cache’s return soon since its last appearance in 2019. But with a Major coming up, it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing it in the coming months.
