The second one could be the remastered collection, except that it was reportedly supposed to feature asymmetrical multiplayer with support for ray tracing. Take note that a few months back, McVicker reported Valve to be working on at least two Half-Life games, one of which has been code-named HL:X and will be a follow-up to the recent Half-Life: Alyx game. The Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection is coming soon to Steam. Much like the aforementioned Half-Life 2 update, the remastered collection should bring forth improved textures, lighting, and particles, among other improvements.Īccording to the team that brought us Half-Life 2: Update is working on a further update and remaster of HL2 & the Episodes, with Valve’s consent. While there are no further details, Valve is said to have given its blessings and which means that the Half-Life 2 Remastered Collection will land on Steam, eventually.

Taking to Twitter earlier today, known Valve insider Tyler McVicker (previously known as Valve News Network) confirmed that the collection was recently added to the Steam Database and is being helmed by the original developers behind the community-developed Half-Life 2 update from a few years back. Half-Life 2 and its episodic sequels are apparently being overhauled as part of an upcoming Half-Life 2 Remastered Collection on Steam.
