Half-Life 2: Ep. 2 Delayed to February Next Year

Bad news to those who were looking forward to a late-year release for Half Life 2: Episode 2. But at least we have new videos of the game.

Talking to Eurogamer at the Leipzig Games Convention, Valve’s Doug Lombardi announced that the release of HL2 Ep. 2 and its associated games Team Fortress 2 and Portal would be delayed ’til February of next year. He puts the delay down to “Valve being overly aggressive on our dates.” He assures fans that “we’re really far along in the playtest stage,” though.

Patience, boys. All good things come to those who wait. “You know, our thing is always that weÂ’re trying to make really good experiences and so weÂ’re going to manage to that rather than the schedule,” says Lombardi.

Well then, until we get our hands on the game next year, how about a few videos of the game in action from Leipzig, courtesy of Hypnosos.

More videos after the jump!
