<p>Files have been discovered within Valve&#8217;s program, Source Filmmaker which call upon what seems to be a new engine under the title &#8216;Source 2&#8217;.</p>
<p>As seen on <a href="http://www.valvetime.net/threads/exclusive-next-gen-source-2-engine-is-in-development.215336/">Valvetime.net</a>, lines in the code included details such as: &#8220;Return an str with the current engine version. If key doesn&#8217;t exist, assume &#8216;Source&#8217;, otherwise invalid &#8212; assume next-gen &#8216;Source 2&#8242;&#8221;.</p>
<p>The original Source engine, developed in 2004 has seen numerous tweaks over the years to bring players better gaming experiences such as through improved graphics and platform support.</p>
<p>Source Filmmaker, released last month on Steam, is a free program which grants users access to assets and such from games (including <em>Team Fortress</em>) to make movies. Valve <a href="http://valvesoftware.com/company/">recently stated</a>, &#8220;We don&#8217;t like to brag, but Source is considered the most flexible, comprehensive, and powerful game development environment out there. And it&#8217;s about to get even better.&#8221;</p>
