The campaign includes 31 maps in four chapters. Then, nasty alien monsters cross from Xen to Earth. Things go wrong at Black Mesa Research Facility. Nick Farell is an engineer who works at the Delta base complex. This is a smaller singleplayer experience but it’s on a larger scale and takes around three to four hours. Yuri was responsible previously for the Arctic Incident Half-Life mod. “It’s not so bad cuz this mod was in development hell for twelve years (was started August 2009) years. Yuri, aka XF-Alien, just seems happy that it’s finally done. Although it has been published on ModDB, it is yet to be available on Steam workshop. Judging by the contents of the Black Mesa Xen trailer, I think it’ll be worth the wait.Half-Life: Delta, a single-player mod for Half Life 1, is a project that Yuri (aka XF–Alien) has been working on for a decade. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the Crowbar Collective have come up with. Their version of Xen should take around 6 hours to complete. This isn’t a 1:1 copy of its predecessor’s Xen, either – the developers have taken cues from the first game’s design but have otherwise created an original world. The majority of this section of the game is locked in and functional, but it still requires a measure of optimization and improvements from the art department. The Steam News post has the answer we’re looking for – Xen is slated to arrive sometime in the second quarter of 2019.Īlthough we see a lot of fancy alien geography in the Black Mesa Xen trailer, things aren’t quite ready for a public release. While the Black Mesa Xen trailer is sure to build up hype, fans are probably a little more interested in knowing when they’ll actually be able to play in the alien world in the game from Crowbar Collective. It’s a shame that they’d leave their home as it’s quite beautiful – have a gander at it yourself in the trailer:

Unfortunately, things go awry and the native creatures of the planet start invading the planet.

Xen serves as a waystation for people using teleportation technology in the game. One of the missing sections of the game was the alien world of Xen.
