New CS2 Map DE_SPLINTER Just Dropped
On April 12, 2026, veteran mapmaker Shawn "FMPONE" Snelling released de_splinter (also known as Splinter), a brand-new competitive bomb defusal map for Counter-Strike 2. Available immediately on the Steam Workshop, the map quickly drew praise for its breathtaking visuals and fresh tactical depth, continuing FMPONE's reputation as one of the scene's most respected creators.
FMPONE is best known for his work on the iconic de_cache, which he originally created and later remade for CS2 (with Valve acquiring the rights in 2025). He has also contributed maps like Season, Subzero, Santorini, and Thera. According to recent comments, de_splinter is reportedly one of his final major contributions to the Counter-Strike series before he shifts focus toward indie game development.

Grab your AK or M4, head to the Rockies, and see if this splinter finds its way into your regular rotation.
