The Black Mesa team has announced that Black Mesa: Xen will release in Q2 2019. In order to celebrate this announcement, as well as Half-Life’s 20th anniversary, the team has also released a new trailer that you can find below.
As the team noted, the months until the game’s release will allow it to finish Xen to a place where the entire product is stable, smooth and fun. Almost everything is design locked and functioning as intended right now and the Xen part will last around 6 hours (longer for those that want to explore everything).
Furthermore, the levels and design for Xen are largely original work (with cues taken from Half-Life), rather than just simply a remake of Xen. In other words, there will be some level differences between these Xen levels and the original found in Half-Life. Also, the team has added new levels in order to extend its length.
Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
