In March 2010, Robin Walker revealed in an interview with the KritzKast Podcast that Meet the Pyro will "let people see the world through the Pyro's eyes."[1]

In a blog post[2] telling about upcoming events in the game, the TF2 team confirmed Meet the Pyro would be released sometime in 2012, and also released a shot of the video.

In an interview on Gametrailers.com's "Bonus Round" during March 2012, Erik Wolpaw announced that Valve had recently finished the production of Meet the Pyro and that it would be released "soon", along with something else.[3]

A short clip of Meet the Pyro was teased in Valve's video "Perpetual Testing Initiative", showing the part of the video teased in the first released picture. [4]

In the June 19th, 2012 update, a number of crafting items were released, one of which being a damaged capacitor with numbers on the side translating to June 22 15:00 (3:00 PM), Previewing the post talk about below.

On 22 June 2012, the Pyro posted a message on the TF2 blog [5] stating "Mmmmph mmmmph, mmmmm mmmmmp mmmmmph. Mmmmmph mpm! Mmmmmph mph mm! Hm mmmmmph, hmmmmph mm mmmmmph mmmmmph!" When translated to Morse code, using the shorter "mphs" as dots and the longer "mmmmmmphs" as dashes, the word "MONDAY" is spelled out.
