<p><b>Update:</b> Valve's Doug Lombardi has confirmed to us that the update will include both the Spy and Sniper unlockables. </p> <p><b>Original story:</b> The upcoming Sniper update for Team Fortress 2 will also include new weapons for the Spy class, developer Valve announced today. </p> <p>The Spy announcement fittingly uncloaked during the week set aside for the Sniper revelations, the spook himself using a classic feign ability (below left) to steal the spotlight from the unwitting Aussie. </p> <p><a href="http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=12006&game_id=4049&id=135069"><img src="http://www.shacknews.com/images/sshots/Screenshot/12006/12006_4a0dd467d0ea0_thumbnail.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=12006&game_id=4049&id=135070"><img src="http://www.shacknews.com/images/sshots/Screenshot/12006/12006_4a0dd468df879_thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Two unlockables for the Spy have been divulged by way of a faux order form (above right). The "Dead Ringer" spy watch will leave a dead corpse of the Spy on the ground while the "real" Spy is cloaked for eight seconds. The "Cloak and Dagger" spy watch will grant a cloak regeneration ability, allowing spies to remain hidden indefinitely while immobile. </p> <p>The free update will now encompass the Sniper and Spy unlockable weapons, the Payload Race game mode, two new Arena maps, and cosmetic head-slot items for all classes. According to the TF2 blog, the whole package will be released on May 21, or next Thursday. </p> <p><a href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58658">Valve Surprise: Team Fortress 2 Sniper Update Will Include Spy Unlockables, Too (Updated) - Shacknews</a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6214430959664794120-6622607834582472655?l=ooedbone.blogspot.com'/></div><br />
