With Half-Life: Alyx launching later this month, developer Valve is opening the doors to a franchise it has left dormant for years. But even though this latest entry is a prequel to a story we already know, it seems Valve wants to continue exploring its world further in the future.
In an interview with Game Informer, Valve developer Robin Walker explained that Alyx has reintroduced the franchise to developers at Valve, who hope that it won’t be the last game in the series they work on.
"There are also people on the team for whom Half-Life: Alyx is their first time working on this series at all–and many of them certainly hope it’s not the last," Walker stated. "We absolutely see Half-Life: Alyx as our return to this world, not the end of it."
