Today, you might hear a lot of promising and exciting news, but unfortunately, most of them are only jokes, including Team Fortress 95, this year's TF2 April Fools joke.

There's no doubt about how hugely popular Team Fortress 2 is among the gamers in the world. One of the most played multiplayer games on Steam and probably one of the most addictive ones, thanks to its incredibly entertaining modes, maps, and gameplay.

Every year on this day, you hear dozens of April Fool's Day jokes from various companies across the world, including video game-related ones. Team Fortress 2 has also been involved in the April Fool's Day in the past years, and hopefully, this year is no exception. Let's see what's this year's TF2 April Fools joke.

What is Team Fortress 95?

If you pay a visit to the official Team Fortress Wiki website, you will face a strangely odd interface, welcoming you to the Wiki page of Team Fortress 95. In fact, the website has traveled back in time to the era when Windows 95 was like magic in the world, and now the devs announce Team Fortress 95 for the latest masterpiece of Bill Gates and his friends.
