This is the 0.90 update, meaning it’s still in Early Access. However, it’s the first time Xen has been pushed as an update to everyone who owns Black Mesa.ĭespite seeming like the end of the road for Black Mesa, it’s still not quite finished. It’s not quite the debut of Xen these levels have been available in a public beta since August. Crowbar Collective has updated Black Mesa to include Xen. All the Xen stuff was given special attention - maybe because it feels so different from the rest of Half-Life, maybe because the original never spent much time there in the first place.Īt long last, Freeman goes to space (or, more accurately, another dimension). Most of the game launched in 2015 in Steam Early Access, everything up until the point where Freeman leaves Earth.
It has been a long time coming, as the project was first announced in 2005. Just listen for a moment, okay?īlack Mesa, the fan-made and Valve-approved Source engine remake of the original Half-Life, is complete. Yes, you already played that 20 years ago. In the original Half-Life, these final levels took Gordan Freeman to the alien landscape of Xen, and that’s where we’ll return again.The conclusion to Gordon Freeman’s story can finally be told. Since then, Black Mesa has been in “Early Access” awaiting the completion of the final chapters of the game. Originally a work of passion (and a free mod), Black Mesa was greenlit by Steam and officially added to the retail giant’s storefront in 2015. If you’re not familiar with Black Mesa, it’s a fan-made remake of the original Half-Life game that has produced level-by-level Valve-quality “remastering” of the classic shooter. The last big piece of this beloved, yet constantly delayed rework also has a set release date now of “Q2 2019”. To celebrate this momentous day, the developers behind Black Mesa have released a new trailer for the long-awaited final levels of their reimagining of Half-Life. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a Half-Life 3 announcement yet… but this isn’t a bad consolation prize. Today marks 20 years since Half-Life was originally released on PC.
