And the latest issue revolves around the Ravenholm project, which was actually supposed to be an additional episode or a spin-off to Valve’s legendary shooter Half-Life 2.

As early as 2012, Half-Life author Marc Laidlaw had Arkane’s plans and the reasons for the cessation reported, but now we finally see what we may have missed.
