New Counter-Strike game

When I was browsing through the games on steam, I came across that new CS game that was apprently in developement. Is this the next CSS or is it just sort of another version/add-on for css?

It's not the next CS:S, they would be smacking a bee hive if they messed with CS:S Lol

"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is Valve's new version of Counter-Strike. Valve was quick to make clear that this wasn't "CS2" (or whatever that even really means) but rather a a multi-platform team based FPS similar to its predecessors, Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, and Counter-Strike: Source. It is designed on the updated Source Engine, but is not built off of Counter-Strike: Source and due out in early 2012 with beta access beginning this fall. It will maintain the traditional de_ and cs_ map types and would not include new game modes. Valve was keen on hearing the input from top CSS players to make CS GO an e-sports title and that is reflected by the game featuring both casual and competitive game modes with a built in match making system and support for dedicated servers." - Craig "Torbull" Levine

Haha yea well, I can understand how it wouldn't be a CS2 or anything like that. At most, the only thing I can see valve adding for CSS would be new weapons or something. But I guess CSS is pretty solid as it is right now.
