For many younger games, you may only know of Valve as being the primary company behind the Steam storefront that has become somewhat of a de facto standard for PC gaming. But there was once upon a time they were a full time game developer, creating some of the best and most influential games the industry ever saw. One of those franchises was the legendary Half-Life series, and now it’s back.
As officially revealed via Valve’s Twitter account, which you can see below, Half-Life: Alyx will be the next installment in the long dormant franchise. Alyx is described as a “flagship” VR title. Interestingly, the teaser comes with three logos. It feels like it can’t be a coincidence considering the legendary status of Half-Life 3. Could Half-Life: Alyx be more than just a spin-off focused on supporting character Alyx Vance? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Half-Life: Alyx will have its official unveiling Thursday November 21st at 10 am PST. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
