Sometimes, miracles do happen, and those who have waited patiently finally see their hopes fulfilled. Valve has delighted the gaming community by releasing a new comic for the beloved team-based shooter, Team Fortress 2. The announcement of this unexpected content drop was made on the official game website, stirring excitement among fans.
The new Team Fortress 2 comic, titled "The Days Have Worn Away," marks the seventh numbered issue and the 29th release overall, encompassing event and thematic stories. It has been a long seven years since the last TF2 comic graced fans in 2017, making this release a significant event for the community.
Valve's developers humorously likened the creation of this comic to the construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They quipped that while the people who began building the Italian landmark did not live to see its completion, Team Fortress 2 players only had to wait "just" seven years for their comic. This playful comparison added a light-hearted touch to the long-awaited release.

The comic itself is richly detailed and neatly concludes the storyline, providing fans with a sense of closure. There is a strong indication that this might be the final issue, as hinted by Erik Wolpaw, who posted a telling tweet on X about "the very last meeting for the Team Fortress 2 comic." Despite the possibility that this is the end, players have received a fitting conclusion to the story and a delightful touch of Christmas spirit with this release.
