In notable ironic fashion, chapter three of the Half-Life comic series, The Pit, has just released on Steam.

Beginning as an unlicensed fan project in 2014, the Half-Life comic series A Place in the West is the closest thing we've seen to a sequel after nearly a decade of waiting for another game. Last year, Valve granted the creators an official license, with chapter one releasing in September as a strictly fan-made project.

The comic series revolves around three characters and their exploits in the dangerous and mysterious city known as New Franklin. Chapter three introduces Kal's Pit, a bloody gladiatorial ring where the citizens of New Franklin use captured aliens for sport until an accident throws everyone into disarray.

Check out the trailer below.

All three chapters of A Place in the West are currently available on Steam. Chapter one is being offered for free, while chapters two and three are available for $1.99 each.
