Why the company never used the Steam Twitter feed, which has 5.2 million followers, is a mystery. It’s the one tweet from an account that was only created in June and has 47 thousand followers, but it’s verified, and Valve employees have been retweeting the post. The announcement came from the Twitter account. Valve certainly has experience in the field of VR, with the company’s Valve Index gaining plenty of positive reviews.
Or it might be very disappointing, we’ll have to wait and see. It didn’t generate a whole lot of excitement, but Half-Life: Alyx, as it’s called, could be a killer title that encourages more people to buy a headset. It was way back in February 2017 when Valve boss Gabe Newell said the company was making three “full” VR games.
Something to look forward to: Valve has announced a new Half-Life game is on the way, but it’s not Half-Life 3 it’s a VR game featuring Half-Life 2 co-star Alyx Vance.
