Black Mesa (Half-Life Remake) Launches This Month

As a big fan of the series I can say this has been a LONG time coming and I'm glad it's finally gonna see the light of day.

Half-Life remake Black Mesa will launch this month. According to a post on Black Mesa’s official forums, September 14th will mark the first release and will allow players to play through the game up to Lambda Core. “We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible,” project leader Carlos Montero said in the post.

Not to be confused with Half-Life: Source, which was the original game remastered in Source, Black Mesa instead sees Half-Life remade from the ground up, built entirely in Source as a total conversion of Half-Life 2.

Black Mesa was originally intended for release in 2009 but was later delayed. Despite the fact that the initial release will only be part of Half-Life, the team promises the rest of Black Mesa is very much still in development.

“We are still working hard on Xen and BMDM, but instead of making you wait we are giving you Black Mesa as soon as it's ready,” Montero added. “We're doing our best to help bring the immense vision of this project into reality, and we are very excited for what the future brings!”

More information on Black Mesa is available on its official site. The game’s soundtrack is also available for purchase with a pay-what-you-want pricing model.
