This article lists currently unreleased content that is assumed to be released before the end of Team Fortress 2's life.

Team Fortress 2 Updates

6th Polycount Pack and Unreleased Game Mode

A secret sixth pack and a new game mode were supposed to be released with the Mannconomy update. However, both were held back due to undisclosed reasons. However, it was stated that the sixth pack directly relates to the new game mode, and that was the reason that both were held back instead of just one.

ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge & ESL Medals

Eight medals are to be added to the game and given to participants and winners of the ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge and the ESL 6on6 League.

Artpass Contest maps

On the 16th of July, TF2maps.net and Valve announced a contest, in which the participant must detail a map that Valve has made. All maps were to be completed and submitted by September 25th, 2010.

The winners of the contest have been announced (3Dnj and YM), but Valve has yet to release the new maps.[1]

New demo format

Robin Walker has discussed a new system for recording demos, where a player can request a recording from the server at the end of a life or round. The plan is for the format to be "More robust" so the demos will not become unplayable as easily as the current system when the game is updated.[2] Another goal is to allow people to easily share their videos on video sharing sites.[3]

Open Beta

Main article: Open Beta

An Open Beta is coming soon to all Team Fortress 2 owners.

Unreleased Items

Main article: Jag

In the Mann-Conomy Update the Engineer was the only class to not get a weapon. But a full textured model was discovered in the GCF of the game. The Item Is believed to be called the Jag from the name the file is given in the GCF.

Major updates for the Xbox 360

The last official mention of any class/other major updates (containing new items, maps, etc.) for the Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2 was on April 2, 2009. There are two main reasons as to why the content has not been released. Firstly, due to reaching or coming close to reaching the memory limit that the Xbox 360 possesses. Secondly, due to the fees Microsoft have put in place for adding content to games, using Microsoft's very own Live on-line market store. These fees have been calculated and estimated to cost Valve over one hundred thousand dollars to update the Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2, in the same manner and fashion that the PC version has received the class and patch updates. Therefore, some expect the updates and patches to be released for the Xbox 360 once Valve has finished and finalized all of the class updates, therefore allowing them to group all of the updates and patches in one large group and content update.

Other

Unreleased Meet the Team videos

There are two unreleased Meet the Team videos expected for release. They are Meet the Pyro and Meet the Medic. As revealed in an interview with Robin Walker by the podcast Kritzkast, Meet the Pyro will be a look at the world through the Pyro's eyes. In another interview with Robin Walker, he mentioned that there will be three more videos, one of which is unknown.

Collectible statues

The IP Factory will be releasing a line of limited edition 12 inch Team Fortress 2 collector's statues. Currently all classes bar the Heavy are pending release. Pre-orders of these statues went live on the 3rd of May 2010. They will be available in Q4 of 2010.

Poker Night at the Inventory

The best card strategy against Heavy Weapons Guy? Do not bet against Heavy Weapons Guy.

On August 28, 2010, a trailer for a new project by Telltale Games was released on Gametrailers. It was revealed on September 2, 2010, as Poker Night at the Inventory, and is, as the title implies, a poker game featuring the Heavy alongside characters from other franchises entirely, such as Max (from the Sam & Max series), Strong Bad (from Homestar Runner), and Tycho Brahe (from Penny Arcade). Characters banter amongst each other, and even place wagers involving their property; Max can wager his gun, while the Heavy can wager Sasha. Telltale reportedly obtained the Heavy's model one month before the trailer.

Source Filmmaker

Main article: Source Filmmaker

Source Filmmaker is the name of the tool used to create the Meet the Team videos, the Left 4 Dead intro movies, and other Valve-produced clips. It is currently unreleased.
