50 high-resolution pieces of concept art for canceled Half-Life games alongside material for Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, and more have been released online. The Valve artwork circulated after a collector with knowledge of canceled Half-Life projects had the opportunity to scan and upload their entire repository.

New concept art and details for long-known canceled Half-Life games have been revealed, as there have been many spin-offs in the Valve FPS game series that haven't seen a proper release over the last two decades. These canceled Half-Life games never saw the light of day for vastly different reasons, but getting even just a little bit of new information about them is absolutely incredible.

Half-Life is starting to feel like its own, dedicated art scene. From the original Valve FPS game, to the expansion packs Blue Shift and Opposing Force, and beyond, we've seen YouTube machinima series, datamined re-releases of beta versions, and a mod that makes Gordon Freeman carry a cardboard box throughout the whole of Black Mesa (we'll come back to that later). But this is something new. Half-Life Loop remakes the sci-fi shooter as a top-down, twin-stick-style shooter with roguelike elements. It's been approved for Steam by Valve itself, and you can play it right now. If Gordon Freeman ever said a word, he'd be looking at this and screaming 'heck yeah.'
