'Black Mesa' Updates: Xen World Delayed Until December
Crowbar Collective has always been good at making sure that the gaming community is satisfied with its franchise so far. That's why, when the "Half-Life" remake was announced almost two years ago, fans were excited. Unfortunately, the developers have announced that it is going to have to be delayed one final time before the release.
"Black Mesa" is the "Half-Life" remake that Crowbar Collective fans have been waiting for. It features the alien world of Xen, which has been shown to be extremely graphic and downright beautiful. The screenshots that have been released so far have had fans keeping up the hype despite the long wait. Thus, to ensure that they get the most out of "Black Mesa," the developers have announced that the summer release will have to be delayed to December.
"We know that this is not what anyone would want to hear, but after taking a long and hard look at what we want to achieve, we have decided that this is for the best. We do not want to compromise on Xen's quality in any way. That said, we consider December to be a do-or-die deadline," the developers said in a Steam forum post.
