While it’s not thaaat game, Valve’s seminal Half-Life series is getting an officially-licensed sequel in the form of a fan-made game titled Prospekt.
Created for Steam Greenlight solely by 25-year-old Richard Seabrook, Prospekt isn’t just a standalone story set in Valve’s sci-fi universe, but is also a direct continuation to Half-Life: Opposing Force.
Developed by Borderlands studio Gearbox Software, Opposing Force took the perspective of Adrian Shepard, a U.S. Marine sent to neutralize the alien threat that coincided with the plot of the original Half-Life.
Set during the events of Half-Life 2, Prospekt brings Shepard to the eponymous prison complex of Nova Prospekt in order to assist series protagonist Gordon Freeman. The game promises 13 levels with new assets, story elements, music, and voice acting, as well as a return to the alien dimension of Xen.
Not only does Prospekt tell a parallel story in the Half-Life universe, but it also carries Valve’s official seal of approval for the license and assets used.
