Valve has released a new trailer for the new character that is introduced to Team Fortress 2. The masked arsonist known only as “Pyro” has always been the most unknowable of the Team Fortress mercenaries. Until now. Today the mask comes off. Metaphorically. That’s right: It’s time to Meet the Pyro. Team Fortress 2 has also been updated and you can view its complete changelog below. Enjoy!
