New Half-Life Title Announced But It’s Not What You Think/Want

Valve finally announced a new entry into the legendary Half-Life series, a series that only spans two games a a few unfinished episodes. There aren’t many game with only two entries that have had such an impact on the entire gaming industry as a whole.

Unfortunately, this new game announcement isn’t Half-Life 3 and instead is Half-Life: Alyx, a VR game based in the Half-Life world. Valve says that this is going to be their “flagship” VR title and will officially be unveiled on November 20.

The last time we saw Alyx was just over twelve years ago when Half-Life 2 Episode 2 ended leaving fans on with a cliffhanger ending and the revelation of the lost Aperture Science ship which no-doubt holds all that sweet portal tech from the Portal series.

Looks like we have to wait until tomorrow to find out just what Half-Life: Alyx will hold in store, but fans, myself included, hope it will help fill in some gaps and maybe (god willing) lead into Half-Life 3 in some way. Oh, I know it won’t but a boy can dream.

Chances are this is going to be a prequel before Freeman was un-thawed by the G-Man and about Alyx running around doing VR type stuffs.
