Many fans were hoping for a completely different novelty.
Some insiders fueled expectations of a "November announcement" of Half-Life 3. Valve did do something with the franchise this month — it approved the appearance of a project from modder Dark Vector on Steam.
In Half-Life: Element 64, players are invited to return to their favorite universe and enjoy updated gameplay inspired by mid-90s retro shooters.
Fight zombified personnel, mercenaries, and alien invaders in four unique chapters of the game, each with its own theme, opponents, and bosses. Conquer maps and uncover secrets in a true oldschool project, using a set of weapons familiar to those who have already passed through the corridors of Black Mesa in the past.
The demo version of Half-Life: Element 64 on Steam is available at the following link.
