SaysWho? Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 15 Years Ago This Month, Valve Announced Half-Life 2: Episode 3 KOTAKU.COM It seems like just yesterday when Valve announced a trilogy of expansions for their super-popular PC game, 2004's Half-Life 2. But it’s actually been 15 years since Episode 3 was announced. And while Valve has since released a new Half-Life game, it wasn’t the one the developer announced back in 2006. Quote Thanks to the internet archive, you can find the original Gamespot article reporting on Valve’s plans for the Half-Life 2 episodes. (There’s also this similarly old Gamasutra article.) Published on May 24, 2006, the article explains that Valve had finished work on Episode 1 and expected Half-Life 2: Episode 2 to release by the end of 2006. (It missed that release window and launched in October 2007.) It also teased that the trilogy would be wrapped up with Episode 3 sometime before December 2007. Here's that Gamespot article from 2006: Half-Life 2: Episode One gold, Two dated, Three announced - PC News at GameSpot WEB.ARCHIVE.ORG First of three expansions to Valve's groundbreaking shooter is set for June 1 retail and online launch; sequels due by end of year and in 2007, respectively. Quote Like Episode Two, Valve divulged little in the way of information about Episode Three, saying only that it was the last "in a trilogy...that will conclude by Christmas of 2007."

Keyser_Soze Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I still have yet to play episode one and two so I'll be ready for when this comes out. Would be pretty cool to get another episode of SiN while we're at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The ending of Episode 2 was too good. They couldn’t follow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
