Back in June 2022, we shared some screenshots from the upcoming fourth chapter of the Half-Life: Blue Shift Remake Mod for Black Mesa, Black Mesa: Blue Shift. And today, we are happy to report that this new chapter will release on December 10th.
In Black Mesa: Blue Shift, players will relive the Black Mesa Incident as Gordon Freeman’s best friend, Barney Calhoun. This fan remake currently has the first three chapters of Blue Shift. These chapters are Living Quarters Outbound, Insecurity and Duty Calls.
