About Half-Life® 2: Episode Two

Half-Life 2: Episode Two is the second entry in a trilogy of new games from Valve that extends the award-winning and best-selling Half-Life adventure. It continues the saga directly, picking up the thread of a story that has captivated players and built one of gaming's most celebrated franchises.

You return as Dr. Gordon Freeman, last seen leaving City 17 alongside Alyx Vance as the Citadel erupted amid a storm of unknown proportions.

The game broadens the acclaimed Half-Life gameplay with unique weapons, vehicles, and newly spawned creatures, giving players fresh tools and threats to contend with along the way. As an action FPS on PC, Half-Life 2: Episode Two carries the series' signature blend of storytelling and combat into a new chapter, expanding the world while keeping the momentum of the ongoing trilogy intact.
