What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

So far, only Rock Paper Shotgun is talking about this — if confirmation shows up, it’ll be added here. Since 2007 the Half-Life community has been living on scraps — which is why any movement becomes news. In the 30 days before this one, 5 other Half-Life stories ran here.

Bottom line: Better wait for someone else to confirm before taking it as a given.
