There was a time when Valve may do no incorrect, releasing hit recreation after hit recreation. Whereas higher identified lately because the developer behind Steam, Gabe Newell and his crew received their begin with the enduring Half-Life. Now, an replace has been sighted, and the timing is kind of suspicious.

In response to SteamDB (as noticed by PCGamesN), the unique Half-Life underwent just a few modifications days in the past. Particularly, Valve added a number of depots, together with one for Linux and macOS, in addition to for some languages, similar to Spanish, German, and Korean.

There’s additionally a “buildid” that’s been added, which may very well be in reference to a brand new construct of the sport itself. Clicking on every depot reveals a listing of recordsdata, however the majority of individuals in all probability received’t be capable of verify what a whole lot of it means (myself included). It’s been years for the reason that recreation’s final replace, however contemplating its age, there’s in all probability not a lot to do.

No, it’s in all probability not Half-Life 3

On condition that Half-Life is approaching its twenty fifth anniversary, there’s a chance that Valve is on the point of launch an replace for its maiden recreation. What that entails, we are able to’t say at this stage.

We all know that an RTX model of Half-Life 2 is within the works, so possibly the OG is getting comparable therapy. Given its legendary standing, the 1998 (November 19, to be particular) launch has left fairly the influence on the FPS style, shaking issues up a bit with its world constructing and environmental storytelling.

Onerous to think about that it’s been round for almost 1 / 4 of a century. However it’s positively good to see that it’s nonetheless getting a whole lot of love and a focus.
