Valve have confirmed in the Steam Weekly News that they hope to release the much anticipated Team Fortress 2 update next week. The update will add a new map - Goldrush, which introduces a new game mode to TF2. The BLU team must escort a high-tech mining cart through a series of checkpoints to the RED base within a time limit. The more BLU players near the cart, the faster the cart moves. The cart stops if any RED team member is in the vicinity.

The update will also add new achievement-based weapons for the Medic.
