CS:GO Tuscan map official version finally in the works

Tuscan is an iconic map from the CS 1.6 era which has never officially made its way into the CS:GO map pool. Last year, some rumours were circling about the internet about an official version of Tuscan in CS:GO. Now, it has been revealed Tuscan will be coming to CS:GO as an official map.

This is great news for fans of the iconic CS 1.6 map, which Valve didn't include in subsequent franchise entries.

Right after the announcement on 24th September, another screenshot of the official Tuscan map for CS:GO was shared by Gabe Follower on Twitter.

The Tuscan map for CS:GO is in the early stages of development, and there are some secret playtests going on.

The map creators are looking for some CS:GO pros, preferably in a top 50 team, to help test the new Tuscan map.
