I was expecting another reveal today but it turns out today is the day the update is released. Your game will be updated automatically on Steam. On top of that, they are also slashing the price of it by 50% till Friday. The scout update will bring new maps, weapons for the scout, achievements and many tweak to gameplay. Full change list below:

Added several new speech concepts, mostly hooked up to new Scout lines
