Will Half-Life 3 ever see the light of day? Or will the project fail because of Gabe Newell’s inability to count to three? You won’t find the answers here, but at least there’s news from the Half-Life universe, and at least that’s something!
Because thanks to the Levitation
-Mod for Half-Life: Alyx, the craving for headcrabs and other mutants could be satisfied in the best way, which is: more of the familiar! The fan-made mod for the VR hit has at least whetted your appetite for more with the seven-minute gameplay trailer:

Half-Life Alyx: Free Expansion Trailer mentions Gordon Freeman
This is not only due to the fact that the original game was more than convincing. In our test, Petra Half-Life: Alyx even as the best VR shooter ever
titled.
Alyx has to save the day again
What will it be about? The mod deals with the events right after the end of the main game. We play again as Alyx, who receives a signal from resistance fighters Maya and Barry. They were investigating information about a secret Combine technology in the quarantine zone. Now Alyx must find the two missing Resistance fighters and investigate the potential threat more closely.
The G-Man is of course also part of the game and in the gameplay trailer it is even Gordon Freeman, the protagonist from Half-Life 2. Are we expecting a legendary guest appearance?
How long is the story? The mod should be able to be played through in four to five hours.
How much will the fun cost? Nothing at all! The mod will be free to play for anyone who owns Half-Life: Alyx.
Wwhen does levitation appear?
Even if the trailer shown for Levitation looks promising, we still lack a satisfying ending to Half-Life 2. And we almost got it! About 15 years ago, the creators of Dishonored at Arkane Studios were working on a fourth episode for Half-Life 2. You can find out why it didn’t appear after all in the following video:

What do you think of Half-Life Alyx: Levitation? Do you dig out your VR glasses from the back room or do you rather wait longingly for a full Half-Life title?
