With the blessing and consent of Valve, a remaster of Half-Life 2 is reportedly being developed thanks to a group of fans. Fans can look forward to another Half-Life project being in the pipeline however.
Since then, many other Half-Life related projects were canceled, with the only other official release being the VR game Half-Life: Alyx, set in-between Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2. They were planned to be a trilogy of episodes, but Valve only managed to finish the second episode, which ended up giving fans one of the most infamous unresolved cliff-hangers in video games. Half-Life 2's episodes were a novel concept at the time, where they were episodic game sequels to the original. And according to a recent datamine, a remaster of Half-Life 2 and its sequel Episodes will be coming to Steam soon.
There have been a brevity of fan-made projects and mods based on the Half-Life series too, such as the fan game Black Mesa. A landmark in PC gaming, Half-Life 2 was a game that set the standard for many fans with its immersion, animation, and story.
