Anubis will return to the active map pool, Train leaves the pool
Valve stated: after the end of the Premier season on January 19, Anubis will return to Active Duty and replace Train.
It is expected that the organizers of BLAST Bounty (starting January 13) and IEM Kraków (January 28) will also adopt the new pool, although they have not commented yet.
Anubis was removed six months ago in favor of Overpass at the start of the second season of 2025. At that time, many thought that Cache would enter the pool, whose remake Valve bought from its creator FMPONE. Train spent only a year in the active pool, having replaced Vertigo.
Updated map pool:
- Dust2
- Mirage
- Inferno
- Nuke
- Ancient
- Overpass
- Anubis
