Half-Life 2 Community Extends the Legend with Fan-Made Interlude

The absence of an official Half-Life 2 Episode 3 has spurred a wave of fan-created continuations. Recently, Pega_Xing unveiled a demo of their project, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude.

This fan-made sequel plunges players into an Arctic setting. Gordon Freeman, awakening after a helicopter crash, finds himself pursued by the Alliance.

While the current demo is available for exploration, developers are actively working on an update. This update promises not only narrative expansion but also significant improvements to the original, including refined puzzles, enhanced flashlight mechanics, and optimized level design.

The Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude demo is freely accessible via ModDB. Adding to the intrigue, earlier this year, Mike Shapiro, the voice actor for the G-Man, posted a cryptic teaser on X (formerly Twitter) – his first post since 2020. The teaser, featuring hashtags #HalfLife, #Valve, #GMan, and #2025, hinted at "unexpected surprises."

While Valve is capable of surprising everyone, expecting a full game release in 2025 might be overly optimistic. However, a formal announcement? Entirely plausible. Dataminer Gabe Follower reported, citing sources, that a new Half-Life game is reportedly undergoing internal playtesting at Valve, with reportedly positive feedback from developers.

Current indications strongly suggest the game is progressing well, and the developers remain dedicated to continuing Gordon Freeman's saga. The most exhilarating element? This announcement could drop at any moment. The unpredictability is, after all, a hallmark of "Valve Time."
