Black Mesa News

A lot of you have requested for Black Mesa to be on NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Your wait is finally over! We are excited to announce that Black Mesa is now available on NVIDIA's cloud gaming service.

See you in Xen, Scientists!

Greetings, Scientists!

We will be starting a new series called "Meet the Devs" where you will get a chance to meet the majority (not all) of the talent behind Black Mesa. For the next two weeks, we will release a daily series of questions and answers where the developers themselves answer several sets of questions—both personal and their experiences while they have gone through the years of development of Black Mesa. This is an opportunity for everyone to meet the team and get some behind the scene information. You can also expect answers to some frequently asked questions, answers about Hat Run discussions, and even an arg challenge embedded in the series.

The following will be the order they are shared with each dev interview coming out daily:

Thanks, and we are excited to tell you all more about "the many faces" behind Black Mesa.
