Half-Life: Alyx takes place between the original Half-Life and Half-Life 2, casting players as the latter’s Alyx Vance as she mounts a secret resistance against the invading alien Combine.
Twelve years after the launch of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, the near-unimaginable has happened; the next instalment in Valve’s legendary series – VR-only shooter Half-Life: Alyx – finally has an actual, proper release date, and will be coming to Steam on 23rd March.
Half-Life: Alyx will be compatible with all PC-based VR headsets when it launches on 23rd March, and Valve has promised it’ll offer a closer in-game look prior to release.
It’ll blend exploration, puzzles, combat, and story in the vein of the classic games, with each element designed to play to the strengths of VR.
