Über Update Title Card.jpg
We've been holding one of the surprises pretty close to the vest for months now. We don't want to ruin it, but we'll give you four clues to get you guessing:

1.) It IS a "Meet the" short.
2.) It involves ONE of the two remaining classes.
3.) It's NOT the Pyro.

4.) It's the MEDIC.

The Über Update is a major content update for Team Fortress 2 and is set to be released on June 23, 2011.

Similar to other major updates such as the Sniper vs. Spy Update and the Engineer Update, the Über Update follows a four-day-long system of daily content previews, one of which will feature the release of Meet the Medic.

Trivia

  • The numbers on the placards Heavy and Spy are holding up in their mug shots on the Mobster Monday page are the release dates of their respective Meet the Team videos. Meet the Heavy was released on May 14th, 2007 and Meet the Spy was released on May 19th, 2009.
    • The placards have the area code NM on them, which in the USA is the standard abbreviation of New Mexico.
    • The placards also read "Teufort," 2Fort's locational name.
  • The Lawrence of Australia Sniper Pack is a reference to the 1962 film "Lawrence of Arabia."
