A massive update for free-to-play FPS Team Fortress 2 has launched its first of three stages today, Valve has announced.

Part 1 is the release of Doomsday, a new map and game mode. Valve describes the new content:

“Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It’s the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania ’69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.”

You’ll find 11 new achievements detailed on the Doomsday website.

Look out for more new content this week, leading up to the launch of the Meet the Pyro short on Wednesday.
