It's been known for a while that the pyro was next in line for some special treatment, but valve have now bought out the date for release. It's tomorrow (or a week after if the medic release was anything to go by).

Official Press release;

Valve today announced a set of new releases for Team Fortress 2, the title named Multiplayer Game of the Year by PC Gamer and Gamespy.com.

The main event of the week is the Pyro Update, which will be made available this Thursday and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. In addition, two user-created maps are included to highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players..

Meanwhile as folks wait for the Pyro Update to be released, the latest in the "Meet the Team" video shorts, "Meet the Sniper," will be made available tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) at 11 am PDT along with a web site dedicated to the Pyro update.

Finally, to give everyone a chance to try the new weapons and community maps, Valve will hold another Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam beginning this Friday at 11 am PDT.

We have been given a taster of one of the new weapons already - The Axtinguisher, which will do crit damage on already burning enemies.

The meet the sniper vid also shows another new weapon, but it is not known what it does. It is probably the alternative weapon to the shotgun.

The 35 new acheivments are still unknown, but their pictures and names (not full descriptions) have been leaked.

Hope to see you all on for the free weekend.

The Sniper vid was a crackup, albeit a very poor impersonation of an Aussie
