Fan-Sequel 'Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Interlude' Demo Revealed

Author : Owen Jan 18,2025

Fan-Sequel

With no official Half-Life 2 Episode 3 in sight, fans are stepping up to create their own continuations. Recently, Pega_Xing unveiled a demo of their Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude.

This fan-made sequel plunges players into an Arctic setting. Gordon Freeman awakens after a helicopter crash, pursued by the Alliance.

While the current demo is available for exploration, updates are in progress. These will not only expand the narrative but also refine the original, addressing puzzles, flashlight mechanics, and level design.

The Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude demo is freely available on ModDB. Adding to the excitement, earlier this year, Mike Shapiro, the voice actor for the G-Man, posted a cryptic teaser on X (formerly Twitter) — his first post since 2020. This teaser included the hashtags #HalfLife, #Valve, #GMan, and #2025, promising "unexpected surprises."

While Valve is capable of surprising everyone, expecting a full game release in 2025 might be overly optimistic. However, a statement announcing something Half-Life related? Entirely plausible. Dataminer Gabe Follower reported, citing sources, that a new Half-Life game is reportedly undergoing internal playtesting at Valve, with apparently positive results.

Current clues strongly indicate the game's development is progressing well, and the team appears dedicated to continuing Gordon Freeman's saga. The most electrifying possibility? An announcement could drop at any moment. After all, the unpredictability is half the fun of "Valve Time."
