It has been over 10 years since Valve has released a new Half-Life game and although it’s not the Half-Life 3 that everybody seems to crave, it’s still very surprising and nice to see the series continue in this fashion, even if it’s a VR title.
As far as the naming goes, Alyx is most likely a nod to a character introduced in Half-Life 2, Alyx Vance. Whether or not this game will focus on Alyx is yet to be seen.
