Half-Life: Alyx Officially Announced, Reveal Coming This Week

Half-Life: Alyx, a new VR game in the Half-Life series, has officially been announced. The new title is described in a tweet as Valve’s “flagship” VR title, and will be unveiled on Thursday November 20 at 10am Pacific Time. This has been rumored for some time now, and it appears those rumors are true. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long to find out more.

It’s been over twelve years since the last Half-Life title, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, which ended on a cliffhanger. We know that a third episode (or possibly Half-Life 3) was in development, but with the series long dormant and Valve seemingly having moved on, it was unclear whether we would ever see Half-Life again. It’s possible that Half-Life: Alyx will be exclusive to the Valve Index VR headset, but we won’t know for sure until Valve shows their new game off on November 20.

Half-Life 2, the last full release in the series, received a 9.2/10 in our review (it came out in 2004, long ago enough that GameSpot had not yet abandoned decimal places.) It’s often regarded as one of the best games of all time.
