Jungle Inferno Update/it

“

Se Jurassic Park ci ha insegnato una cosa, è che la vita trova una via. Se Jurassic Park ci ha insegnato due cose, sono che la vita trova una via e che Jurassic Park è una buona idea da rubare per fare un aggiornamento. E se il team legale di Valve ci ha insegnato una cosa, è stato urlarci di non dirvi la seconda cosa che ci ha insegnato Jurassic Park. Se le persone che ci hanno urlato contro ci hanno insegnato una cosa, è che i rumori forti ci rendono così spaventati che ci dimentichiamo dove sta il tasto cancella, quindi stiamo solo andando avanti e siamo lieti di annunciare il nostro aggiornamento totalmente originale su animali mortali che scappano da un parco a tema. Perché la vita trova una via, che è la sola cosa che abbiamo rubato imparato da Jurassic Park. — Sito ufficiale TF2

Update Delay

On the expected day for the update's release, Day 4, a blog post gave notice of a delay of one day for the update in order for the TF team to do additional stress testing.

Trivia

• The last update that followed a four-day-long system of daily content previews was the Über Update back in 2011.
• This was the longest wait for a major update in TF2 history, timing 10 months and 29 days (272 days total) since Smissmas 2016.
• Several new weapons were teased in the days prior to their reveal:
  • At the bottom of the Day 1 Update Page, there is a Gas Passer lying on the ground, and in the background, the Pyro can be seen flying with the Thermal Thruster.
  • On the Day 2 Update Page, in the pile of weapons shown that War Paints can be applied to, there is a Dragon's Fury in the background. Also, in the lineup of the team showing off new cosmetics, the Pyro is seen holding the Dragon's Fury and the Heavy is holding the Second Banana.
• At the bottom of the Day 2 Update Page, Saxton Hale is seen holding a ConTracker. On the screen, there are two names. One says "Mercenary Park", and the other says "Pyroland". It was later revealed that through the "Pyroland" option, players would be able to earn all of the four new Pyro weapons and the Heavy weapon via completing six free contracts.
• At the bottom of the page for Day 2, a parrot can be seen on Saxton Hale's shoulder. When its head is clicked or hovered over with the mouse cursor, it explodes.
