Creators release new trailer to celebrate upcoming launch of their licensed Half-Life comic.
The eagerly awaited third chapter of Half-Life: A Place in the Westwill launch on Friday 21 July, its creators have announced today – and a new trailer has been unveiled in celebration of the news.
The comic – which has origins as a fan project before receiving a license from Valve to use the Half-Life IP commercially – has amassed a sizeable following since its inception in 2014 and its official launch on Steam last September. Following the success of Chapters 1 and 2, Chapter 3: The Pit continues the adventures of Leyla Poirier and Albert Kempinski, taking them further into the world of New Franklin.
This new chapter introduces readers to a handful of new characters, the bulk of whom form the unscrupulous community around the eponymous Pit – an exotic menagerie of alien creatures! At the heart of it all, a gladiatorial arena, in which the city engages in a brutal blood sport against some of Half-Life’s classic enemies.
“The Pit is a culmination of everything we learned from the first two chapters,” said writer and co-creator Ross Joseph Gardner. “At a total of 30 pages, the condensed narrative is sleeker, much more focused, and really aims to bring the city to life.”
Half-Life: A Place in the West – Chapter 3: The Pit will be available exclusively via Steam on Friday 21 July, for $1.99.
