Half-Life: Alyx Mod Adds New Full Campaign Titled Levitation
Modders Corey Laddo and Shawn Snelling have announced Half-Life: Alyx Levitation, a new mod for the VR title that will boast several hours of fresh story content. Half-Life: Alyx launched to critical acclaim in 2020 for Steam-compatible VR devices, debuting what many consider the best virtual reality experience on any platform to date. The experience takes place five years before the events of Half-Life 2 and places players in the role of a teenage Alyx Vance.
Unsurprisingly, a wide variety of mods have expanded upon the virtual reality experience since its launch roughly two years ago.
