Having already announced that Episode One has gone gold, Valve announced the release date for Episode Two and confirmed that a third Episode is being planned.
To be available starting June 1, the first episode will cost $20 and will include around four to six hours of gameplay expanding the story of Half-Life 2. Episode Two will continue the story in a similar fashion and will be available by the end of this year. The third Episode will be the last in the trilogy and is planned for release by Christmas 2007.
Already foretold through the title of ‘Episode One’, Valve has confirmed to CVG that the second Episode in the Half-Life 2 series is already in the works. The revelation comes through an interview with Valve’s Robin Walker, who talks about the events in the upcoming Episodes and offers insight into the design process into the new episodic approach that seems to be the rage these days.
Here’s a bit from the interview:
We’ve had sneak peaks of Dog in Episode One teaser trailers. How much time and effort has gone into developing that character’s role in the story?While Dog makes an appearance in Episode One, most of our energy has been spent on exposing Alyx rather than Dog. He’ll help you both out early on, but it is Alyx who you’ll be spending most your time with.
Let’s talk weapons! We know you guys like to keep things secret, but… if there’s one new weapon you’d like to have with you to get you out of a scrape, which weapon would it be, and why?
In Episode One, it’ll be Alyx you’ll want to have with you.
