Valve has announced a release date for Half-Life Alyx, the VR spin-off and long-awaited return of the Half-Life franchise. The game will release on March 23, 2020.
Valve announced the release date with a tweet linking to the Steam page, which is still offering the 10% off pre-order price. This is the first indication of a new release date we've seen since it was announced for March 2020, though Valve did recently noted that it didn't expect any delays since the game was essentially finished.

Half-Life: Alyx is a VR-only game and works with multiple headsets. As the name suggests, it stars the popular character Alyx Vance. It's set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2, and Valve has said it's a full-length new entry in the long-dormant franchise.
Half-Life: Alyx is one of our most anticipated games of 2020. If you want to make sure you're ready for March 23, read up on deals for compatible headsets and the PC system specs. Or just catch up by reading up on everything we know.
