Crowbar Collective announced that the long-awaited Black Mesa is going to be finished soon, meaning Half-Life fans can expect tons of hours of fun.

Black Mesa’s beta is complete, so the Interloper C, Interloper C1, Interloper D regions, the Nihilath boss fight, the Endgame, and a ton of bug fixes have been added to the game. Steam users can access them by right-clicking on the game and then choosing properties, betas and selecting the public beta branch.

„Known Issues:

Overall Difficulty. We suspect some parts might be too hard or too easy. We’ll be watching playthroughs and taking feedback to find these issues and fix them.

Performance. We have improved performance across the game and targeted specific areas to increase the frame rate on all machines. Even with these fixes, there are still some areas we want to improve. For now, don’t be afraid to lower your settings if you are getting low frames.

Factory Breaks. We are guessing players will be able to find creative ways to break the factory maps. We don’t expect any of them to be full blockers, but we are anxious to see what players can do to these complex setups, and how we can mitigate issues,” the post says.

In case you don’t know, Black Mesa is a third-party remake of Half-Life, which initially started as a free mod for Half-Life 2 in September 2012. Crowbar Collective then got permission to turn it into a commercial release, which happened in May 2015 as a Steam Early Access title. The game is planned to quit Early Access in early 2020, meaning it could pre-date the VR game, Half-Life: Alyx.

Aside from reimagining the Xen levels, there are ten multiplayer maps, a level editor, and an SDK (software development kit) for the creative players… the game cost 18 dollars at the moment.
