Half-Life gets a mysterious update ahead of its 25th anniversary
And here I am…still hoping for Half-Life 3.
According to SteamDB, the original Half-Life underwent several changes recently. More specifically, Valve added several depots, including one for Linux and macOS, as well as for some languages, such as Korean, Spanish, and German.
A “buildid” was also added, which is likely a reference to a new build of the game itself. Clicking on each depot will reveal a list of files, but most people won’t be able to ascertain what a lot of it means. It’s been a while since the game was last updated, but since it’s an old game already, there is probably not much to do.
Half-life is approaching its 25th anniversary and there is a good chance that Valve is getting ready to release an update for its iconic game. We’re yet to see what that is. We know that an RTX version of Half-Life 2 is currently in development, so one can hope that the original game will get a similar treatment.
Sigh, if only they announced Half-Life 3 already…
