HALF-LIFE IS BACK

VALVE'S GAME RETURNS, BUT NOT AS YOU'D EXPECT

No, you’ve not fallen into an alternative dimension; there really is a brand-new Half-life game, and it really is being made by those lovers of transactional hats, Valve. Before you get too excited, though, it’s worth mentioning that this isn’t going to be Halflife 3. Stopped shouting? Good. No, this new game is called Half-life: Alyx, and is set shortly before Gordon Freeman’s return in Half-life 2. As you may have already guessed, it will focus on Alyx and her father taking on the Combine.

The reason we’re really excited about Half-life: Alyx is because it’s going to be made for VR systems, and if you’ve ever played any first-person games on systems like PSVR and Occulus Rift, you’ll understand just how immersive Valve’s game has the potential to be. Best of all, there’s not going to be too long to wait either, as the game is currently scheduled to arrive on PCS in March. No news on a PSVR release, but we’re keeping our motion controllers crossed, just in case.
