Update: Seabrook has confirmed that Prospekt releases on February 11, telling IGN: "Yes release is 11th of Feb and thats when the pre order deal ends too so you can get the discount all the way up until the 11th."
Indie developer Richard Seabrook has been working for two years to bring Prospekt, his Half Life 2 add-on, to life. Seabrook announced on Steam today that the game is now available for preorder, with a release in February 2016.
With Valve's approval to use Half-Life 2's license and assets, Prospket is a standalone game built with the Source engine. Seabrook developed the entire game himself, and its length is comparable to Half-Life 2's episode one. It'll the continue the story that Gearbox Software began with Half-Life 1: Opposing Force.
While Gordon Freeman is "being overrun by soldiers in the Nova Prospekt prison," the player will control Adrian Shepherd, "the unsung hero" of the US Marines who's sent in to fight.
According to Seabrook, the game boasts new textures, models, voice acting, music, and player model skin. He's also taken the time to improve AI and create a modded HUD.
Seabrook is running a 10 percent pre-purchase discount for those who pre-order Prospekt. The offer ends on February 11. We've reached out to Seabrook for an official release date and will update when we receive more information.
In Valve's Half-Life news, we've recently learned that Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw left the company to "return to more self-directed writing projects."
