Howdy!

I am fully aware that this is old news but I only recently found out that valve has outsourced the development of Half Life² Episode 4 to french dev-team Arkane Studios.

Half Life² is among my favourite FPS games and with Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah and Dishonored under their belt, Arkane is also among my favorite developers….especially when it comes to creative vision. Now Dishonored 2 and the new Prey didn’t strike my fancy but thats another story.

Sadly, the project got cancelled but I’d still like to feature the little screenshots we have and later link to a video that also offers some early animations. I have compiled some screenshots from other sources, most notably “valve time”. However, as this is an unreleased project and you happen to read this, let me know if one of these is from another mod or game. I tried my best to make sure to assemble som impressions of what could have been:
