Okay? We&#8217;ve all come to terms with that, right? So, here&#8217;s the next best thing.<\/p> <p>In honor of <em>Half-Life<\/em>&#8216;s 20th anniversary,&nbsp;<em>Black Mesa<\/em>&nbsp;developer Crowbar Collective has released the first ever video of the Xen chapters. It looks pretty fantastic! The original <em>Half-Life<\/em>&nbsp;didn&#8217;t really spend much time on Xen, so this will hopefully be a proper visit.<\/p> <p>This fabled alien universe is getting closer. Crowbar Collective says that the Xen chapters should release sometime in the second quarter of 2019. Granted, don&#8217;t bet the farm on that happening. Xen has been oft delayed in the past, and it wouldn&#8217;t be unexpected for another delay to pop up.<\/p> <p>But it&#8217;s all out of our hands. And Crowbar Collective&#8217;s hands. Xen will be released unto the world exactly when The Nihilanth wants and not a second earlier.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":232058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1,97],"tags":[1717,1243,819,208],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":9,"display_name":"Brett Makedonski","user_login":"Brett Makedonski","user_nicename":"brett-makedonski"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Black Mesa&#039;s Xen level looks so dang good &#8211;
