Earlier last year, we spoke to the development lead behind the Black Mesa project, so be sure to check out our interview for more information on the remake. "Overall what I hope to achieve is an experience similar to Black Mesa's in that the essence of what Blue Shift was remains intact while adding a major facelift and re-imagining to the rest," the modder wrote on ModDB.īlack Mesa was approved for distribution on Steam last September though Steam Greenlight. Though he politely warns those interested that it's a one man operation that he'll be working on in his spare time, the modder also provides screenshots like the one above to show his progress.

The in-development mod will require Black Mesa, a community-built remake of Half-life assembled over several years in Valve's Source Engine. Half-Life: Blue Shift was originally developed by Gearbox Software and released in 2001. Valves debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named 'Best PC Game Ever' by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide. Black Mesa: Insecurity aims to bring an updated version of Half-life's second expansion, Half-life: Blue Shift, to the game's recent Black Mesa mod, according to its listing on ModDB. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling.
