In contrast to the mainly urban warfare of the previous game, Episode Two focuses on more open and rural areas, telling the story of Gordon and Alyx’s journey to White Forest and the struggle to stop the Combine’s new super portal.įinally, we had the ending, and one of the most infamous cliffhangers in gaming, simply because we’ve never seen what happens next. This was another high-quality addition to the Half-Life 2experience, and delivered even better and varied action, and expanded on the plot. October 10 saw the release of Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

Maybe not, but it’s a possible hint of what was to come, or not, as the case may be. You just don’t know where you’re going to end up.” That’s really an artefact of making a trailer for a product that’s still in heavy production. If you look at the Episode Two trailer that we shipped with Episode One, there’s some pretty radical difference between what you see there and see in finished game. “We’re going to try and do something pretty ambitious for that project. However, the project lead, David Speyrer, while talking to Rock Paper Shotgun commented on the lack of an Episode Threetrailer at the end of Episode Two.

In an interview with Eurogamer in June 2006, Valve’s Gabe Newell not only talked about Episode Two and Three, but also labeled Episodes One to Three as Half-Life 3.
