The beta for Black Mesa Xen is out now

August 2, 2019 Black Mesa's Xen beta is now live.

Black Mesa, a fan-made Half-Life mod years in the making, is finally nearing completion. Earlier this summer, the game's developers told fans that a beta for its final chapters was "imminent." As of early this morning, beta tests for the Xen and Gonarch's Lair maps have gone live on Steam. Much of Black Mesa has been available in early access on Steam for several years, but Xen - widely considered to be the least successful part of the otherwise game-changing Half-Life - had been notably absent. Now, thankfully, that's no longer the case. In an announcement post last night, the developers announced that they had "pushed all of Xen and Gonarch's Lair to the public beta branch on Steam." While the technical beta had been limited to just three maps, a total of nine have been made available as part of this complete package, with Interloper, Nihilanth, and Endgame all set to follow after the beta test.
