Half-Life the original game is turning 20 years old soon. To celebrate that, we’ve got ourselves a trailer of Black Mesa: Xen – Half-Life’ fan remake. Through the trailer, we can have some initial looks at the game’s final part to see what’s coming in it. Find the game's trailer as below.
The earliest part Black Mesa was launched way back in 2012. The game first came as a free-of-charge mod in 2015. After that, it became part of Steam Early Access as a paid version. There were 2 different parts of the game and Xen isn’t a part of the full Black Mesa version or the mod.

The story of Black Mesa: Xen
Half-Life tells the story of Gordon Freeman, a former MIT theoretical physicist and one of the only survivors of a trans-dimensional rift at the Black Mesa research facility. In the final few levels of the original, Freeman travels to the planet Xen where he battles all manner of massive alien creatures while exploring Xen’s bizarre biomes. Along the way, however, he also encounters some of the first-person shooter genre’s most terrifying enemies — the dastardly jumping puzzle.
