Valve’s journey into VR gamesĪlthough not as long a cliffhanger as the wait for a new Half-Life game, Valve also left fans on edge after they announced they would be developing three full-length VR games back in 2017. So far, it’s unclear whether the new VR title will essentially serve as Episode 3, or if it’s something like a prequel. The trilogy was basically halted for good when Laidlaw left Valve, and it appeared this story could be all fans would ever get from the series again. It seemed like something that could have been Episode 3 of Half-Life’s much-anticipated series, but there’s no proof it was an actual storyline up for consideration at Valve. Former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw created a possible fanfic of Half-Life with barely changed names and plot, including the name Alex Vaunt being substituted for Alyx Vance.
