Half Life: Alyx, the game was born because Valve was terrified of Half Life 3

After the announcement of Half Life: Alyx by Valve, which we covered in this specific article, new details regarding this new project have emerged in the last few hours. The developers behind the famous platform for selling PC games Steam they have in fact clarified some details on the development. In recent years there has always been talk of the possible arrival on the shelves of Half Life 3, but it seems that this option was only considered and then quickly shelved.

It seems, at least according to what was declared by the developers, that Half Life: Alyx it was a project that brought back to the studio the desire to reappear the famous brand, which has now been set aside for about 15 years. The ability to develop Half Life 3 it had indeed been launched, but unfortunately Valve she found herself forced to come to terms with reality.

The huge success of Half Life 2 has in fact created some very important expectations for its sequel, which literally terrified the team once it entered the actual development of the new work. Half Life: Alyx it was instead a godsend, as the new development platform and the fewer premises of an almost spin-off prequel made the whole creative process much more peaceful.
