Black Mesa: Blue Shift | Hecu Collective

Initially developed and released by Gearbox Software in 2001, the second Half-Life expansion, Half-Life: Blue Shift is a return to the Black Mesa Research Facility and another look at the Incident’s consequences from the eyes of Gordon Freeman’s best friend - Barney Calhoun

In 2012, Crowbar Collective delighted Half-Life fans with release of Black Mesa, a Half-Life remake, however there are still no remakes for the expansions. This is where we are come in. HECU Collective is developing Black Mesa: Blue Shift - a free remake using Black Mesa assets. We are trying to stay as close to the original Blue Shift as possible, while also trying to make it feel like Black Mesa. Our mod will be releasing partially, chapter by chapter, so those who aren’t patient for the full release will have something to play!

The original team was founded on December 10, 2016. In April 2018, the Azure Sheep team joined the main development team, thereby forming the current HECU Collective.

At the current time, we do not limit ourselves to the usual framework and can post both a trailer for a new game/mod on the Source engine, and interesting news from the world of half-life and other games from Valve.
