Half-life Alyx confirmed

Yes, you are witnessing a new Half Life game. It was unveiled by Valve on Thursday. A full-length game designed for virtual reality. The events take place between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. This VR exclusive game will tell you a story about Alyx Vance and her father Eli as they form a resistance against the invasion of an alien force called the Combine.

So no, it is not really a Half-Life 3 game since it doesn’t tell the story after episode 2, but it feels the gap between episode 1 and 2.

The game will be released on Steam, March 2020. Powered by Valve’s Steam VR software, it will be compatible with all PC-based VR headsets such as Valve Index, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality. The game will be free for owners of Vavle’s Infex VR… otherwise $59.99.

Half-Life: Alyx was “designed from the ground up” for VR, Valve said in an announcement, “and features all of the hallmarks of a classic Half-Life game: world exploration, puzzle solving, visceral combat, and an intricately woven story that connects it all with the characters iconic to the Half-Life universe.”

In the images we can see that the environment is one that we have seen before, or at least very familiar. The plot takes place in an Eastern European city known as City 17, which has been overtaken by combine forces. Alyx we have some Half-Life 2 inspired weapons such as Gravity Gloves.
