A demo of the fan-made sequel Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude has been released

Fans are creating their own continuations of the Half-Life 2 story, as an official Half-Life 2 Episode 3 remains unreleased. Recently, Pega_Xing unveiled a demo of their fan-made sequel, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude.

Set in the Arctic, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude begins with Gordon Freeman waking up after a helicopter crash, pursued by the Alliance. While players explore the current demo, updates are in progress, promising both story continuation and improvements to the original (enhanced puzzles, refined flashlight mechanics, and optimized level design).

The Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude demo is available for free on ModDB. Earlier this year, a noteworthy event occurred: Mike Shapiro, the voice actor for the G-Man, posted on X (formerly Twitter) for the first time since 2020. His cryptic teaser, including hashtags #HalfLife, #Valve, #GMan, and #2025, hinted at "unexpected surprises."

While a 2025 release might be optimistic, a statement from Valve seems plausible. Dataminer Gabe Follower reported, citing sources, that a new Half-Life game is reportedly undergoing internal playtesting at Valve, with reportedly positive results.

Current indications strongly suggest the game is progressing well, and the developers are dedicated to continuing Gordon Freeman's journey. The most exciting part? This announcement could come at any moment. After all, unpredictability is a hallmark of "Valve Time."
