Black Mesa, The Half-Life Remake, Releasing In Two Weeks

The fan created Half-Life remake, Black Mesa, has been in development for quite some time, and it looks like we will finally be able to get our hands on it a little bit later this month.

A countdown timer has appeared on blackmesasource.com pointing to something happening in about 12 days, and a posting on the game's message boards by the project leader confirms a September 14 release date.

The release on September 14 won't be the full game, but it is a large portion of the experience. It will be everything up to the Lambda core, which is approximately the first eight hours of the game.

You can also go ahead and grab the soundtrack for the game with the pay whatever you want pricing structure.

  • This is neat, glad to see it didn't fall through.

  • Awesome! I"m gonna to need to pick this one up comes out.

  • This may be my first exposure to the first Half-Life and I hope the wait is worth it.
  • So is it going to be on Steam?
  • Mod

    I'm honestly surprised. I checked up on the project earlier this year and the folks behind it gave every indication of a 2013 (or later) release. I know this upcoming release isn't the full game, but still.

    Now watch as the source code gets leaked and the game gets delayed another year.

  • Honestly,  I never thought this would be released.  I wonder when the rest of it will be up?

  • I don't really understand why this was made; if people wanted to play Half-Life, who isn't named Dan Ryckert, they could easily just play it on Steam.
  • Still not a complete game? Lord, that's annoying. Easy pass
  • will it be on steam? and i hope its exe

  • SUPER REPLAY BLACK MESA
  • wait, so no xen? fail
  • That's on my birthday. Oh my God. Best christmas in history. :D

    EDIT: Birthday, not Christmas. The excitement has turned my brain into liquid filth. :u
  • Sweet.  This sounds like a reason to finally play Half-Life.

  • Can;t wait to see what these guys did! Perhaps Valve or someone else can hook them up with a job. ^_^

  • Will there be Mac support ?
  • Been waiting for this since that trailer back in 2009.  Can't wait to play this.

  • PREPARE FOR UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES.
  • how is this different from half-life: source?
  • Hooray! I've been waiting to play this forever.

  • Maybe I should've waited for this before playing the original Half-Life.  But then the Super Replay would've ruined it for me, oh well.
