Valve has finally set a release date for its upcoming VR title Half-Life: Alyx in a tweet<\/a> that went out on Thursday – expect to see City 17 through the lens of your favorite VR headset<\/a> on March 23, 2020.<\/p>\n In a follow-up to the tweet, Valve released three screenshots for the game with the tagline “Return to City 17 in just six weeks” and links to the Steam page for the game<\/a> and the game’s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Reactions to the game so far have been mostly positive-mixed-with-skepticism, and the game represents one of the first major franchises from Valve to get VR treatment, so expectations are high.<\/p>\n For those who missed the game’s announcement earlier this year, Half-Life Alyx is set between the events of the original Half-Life and Half-Life 2 (both of which are free to play until Half-Life Alyx comes out) and follow Alyx and her father, Dr. Eli Vance, as they form a resistance to the Combine.<\/p>\n The game was built with Valve’s VR headset, the Valve Index<\/a>, in mind and will be free for owners of Valve’s VR hardware, but the game’s website says that most VR headsets – including the Oculus Rift<\/a>, HTC Vive<\/a> and Windows Mixed Reality Headsets<\/a> – will work, too.<\/p>\n Between Half-Life: Alyx and Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/u><\/a>, March might just be the best month yet for gamers in 2020.<\/p>\nReturn to City 17<\/h3>\n
