Valve announces a new Half-Life game for VR: Half-Life Alyx

We’re excited to unveil Half-Life: Alyx, our flagship VR game, this Thursday at 10am Pacific Time.

There’s still plenty of room for Half-Life: Alyx to disappoint, particularly if Valve’s definition of a full-length, flagship game differs from what you’d expect.

Honestly, VR could use an extra kick in the pants either way. »
