Being greenlit on Steam years before actually appearing on the service, Crowbar Collective, the dev team behind the game, has been promising to add the infamous &#8220;Xen&#8221; levels from the original title for almost as long as the mod has been in existence. While they are still dedicated to doing that, it looks like we won&#8217;t be getting them during their originally planned summer window.<\/p> <p>According to a post on the Steam community forums, <em>Black Mesa<\/em>&#8216;s final content update should arrive sometime in December.
