‘HLVR‘, which many presumed to be an abbreviation of ‘Half-Life VR‘ has been leaked, rumoured and discussed amongst the community since 2016. However, we now have an official name for the game. Most of this was covered byValve News Network.
Rumours ofHalf-Life: Alyxoriginated earlier today when an interview transcript between video-game journalist Geoff Keighley and Valve developers leaked. The nature of the interview supposedly revealed that a newHalf-Lifegame was in the works. However, the rumour was generating attention due to Valve’s announcement back in 2017 that they’d been working on three VR games.
So one of the questions you might ask us is ‘Why in the world are we making hardware? So right now, we’re building 3 VR games. And what we can do now is to be designing hardware are the same that we’re designing software
The title of the game ‘Alyx‘ may sound familiar to fans of the series, being that it’s the name of the character Alyx Vance. She was first introduced inHalf-Life 2. However, a VR game may not have been what fans had been asking for years, but it fits with Valve’s motif.
The series has always been about pushing the boundaries of tech, whether it beHalf-Life’s3D story-rich world orHalf-Life 2‘s brand new physics. Locking the third game behind VR would definitely upset fans and so a spin-off is a fitting move. This also isn’t their first spin-off, as we’ve hadDecay, Opposing ForceandBlue Shiftin the past, with the latter letting you play as Barney, who also appeared inHalf-Life 2.
Currently, we’re unsure whenHalf-Life: Alyxwill take place in the Half-Life timeline but leaks that have, so far come true, seem to suggest that it will be a prequel set during the 7-hour-war. However, we won’t have to wait for much longer as all sorts of information will be revealed on Thursday. Stay tuned for updates.
