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

With no official Half-Life 2 Episode 3 in sight, fans are taking matters into their own hands, crafting their own continuations of the beloved story. Recently, Pega_Xing unveiled a demo of their fan-made sequel, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude.

The demo plunges players into an Arctic setting, where Gordon Freeman awakens after a helicopter crash, finding himself hunted by the Alliance. While players explore this initial release, updates are in the works, promising not only a continuation of the narrative but also enhancements to the original, including refined puzzles, improved flashlight mechanics, and optimized level design.

The Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Interlude demo is freely available on ModDB. Adding to the buzz, earlier this year, Mike Shapiro, the voice actor for the enigmatic G-Man, broke his social media silence (since 2020) with a cryptic teaser on X, featuring the hashtags #HalfLife, #Valve, #GMan, and #2025, hinting at "unexpected surprises."

While a full 2025 release might be optimistic, a statement from Valve seems entirely plausible. Dataminer Gabe Follower, citing sources, reported that a new Half-Life game has reportedly entered internal playtesting at Valve, with reportedly positive feedback from developers.

Current indications strongly suggest the game is progressing well, with developers clearly dedicated to continuing Gordon Freeman's journey. The most exciting element? This announcement could drop at any moment. After all, the unpredictable nature of "Valve Time" is part of the thrill.
