The wait for Half-Life 3 has been so long it's become shorthand in the gaming community for interminable delays. With Valve producing few games in recent years, some had given up all hope on ever seeing more from the Half-Life series. But this week brought the surprise announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, a dedicated VR game starring series favorite Alyx Vance. It isn't quite the third installment fans have been waiting for, but the first trailer shows that it's unmistakably Half-Life.

　　The trailer walks us through the Half-Life trappings, from towering Striders to enemy soldiers and headcrabs to a brief glimpse of the G-Man. We also get glimpses of the VR at work, with hand-tracking letting you make repairs, fire weapons, and scrounge for ammo. You can see it in action for yourself in the trailer below.
