In the world of gaming, sometimes miracles do happen, and those who have waited patiently are finally rewarded. Valve has delighted fans of the team-based shooter Team Fortress 2 with a new comic release. The unexpected content drop was announced on the official game website, bringing joy to the community.
The new Team Fortress 2 comic, titled "The Days Have Worn Away," marks the seventh numbered issue and the 29th release overall, encompassing both event and thematic stories. This release comes after a long hiatus of seven years, since the last comic was published in 2017.
Valve's developers took a lighthearted approach to the situation, likening the creation of this comic to the construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They humorously pointed out that while all the individuals who began working on the Italian landmark didn't live to see its completion, Team Fortress 2 players only had to wait "just" seven years for their comic.

The comic itself is rich in content and provides a satisfying conclusion to the storyline. There's a strong indication that this might be the final issue, as hinted by Erik Wolpaw's tweet on X, mentioning "the very last meeting for the Team Fortress 2 comic." Fans can at least take comfort in the closure of the story and enjoy the festive touch of Christmas spirit that comes with it.
