In case you missed it yesterday, Valve has made the entire Half-Life Collection-that's Half-Life, HL2, HL2: Episodes 1 and 2, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, and Team Fortress Classic- free to play until Half-Life: Alyx comes out. "We love Merle, her work in Half-Life 2 was instrumental in bringing Alyx to life, and we hope to work with her again in the future," they said. But it turns out that Valve actually began working on the project with original Alyx voice actor Merle Dandridge, the developers said, before ultimately deciding to "go in a different direction." Half-Life: Alyx will feature a new voice actor for the lead character, Ozioma Akagha, in order to reflect the character's younger age in the Half-Life 2 prequel. Once Half-Life: Alyx became a reality internally, it was already clear to us that this was something we wanted to involve the community in," they added in a response to a later question." We're going to be doing more of this in the next few weeks as we prepare to launch it!"
