A wave of newHalf-Life 2: Episode 3chatter has been triggered for the millionth time this year, now thanks to the Facebook page of fan siteValve Time. The page postedwhat it claims to be official artworkfor the upcoming expansion, and it has stuck rigidly by the claim.

The art, which has been dated to around 2008, mostly centers on Alyx Vance, though there are some really trippy images of enemies and environments as well. It’s some interesting stuff to look at, in any case.
