Valve Announces Half-Life: Alyx, Its First Flagship VR Game BeauHD Yesterday, Valve announced Half-Life: Alyx, the first new game in the acclaimed Half-Life series in well over a decade.

But clearly, we'll be learning more on Thursday, presumably from this social media account, at 10am PT.

After Half-Life and Half-Life 2, the company created Half-Life: Episode 1 and Half-Life: Episode 2, but no third game in the series. The closest we've come to knowing anything about where Half-Life was headed was this thinly veiled fanfic from former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw.
