Über Update Title Card.png
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.

The Über Update is heralded as, "the biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2." 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.
